"What a fantastic Ethiopian meal! The vegan sampler for 1 had much variety and came with plenty of injera. I love Kitfo (raw), and this portion was pretty large, so flavorful, even spicy! The waitress was attentive and so friendly as well."

"Lalibela Ethiopian Restaurant deserves its flowers. Five years strong — that’s something worth celebrating, especially for a spot that made it through the pandemic and came out thriving. Every time I’ve passed by or stepped in, it’s full of life — never empty, always welcoming, always consistent. The service is warm, the energy is good, and you can tell people come here because it feels like home. The chef recommends the Lamb Awaze Tibs, and while I haven’t tried it myself (Uber driver pick-up life), I’ve seen enough satisfied faces to know it’s the real deal. Shout-out to the whole Lalibela team for five solid years of culture, community, and flavor holding down Harlem. Keep shining — y’all built something special. Flavors that last. Community that matters."

"Absolutely delicious and reasonably priced food. Every time I went most of the other patrons were Ethiopian - this is always a good sign for authenticity."

"The absolute best gluten free restaurant experience I have had in New York until this day! And I cost me only $24. It is absurdly cheap. I will be tipping extra just because the food should be priced higher for such amazing quality!!! HOW am I discovering Ethiopian food like this is naturally gluten free. Huge portions! The picture doesn’t show how much food you truly get! I am moving away from this neighborhood next week, but I just found this place 😭"
