Ethiopian food at its best. I loved Lalibela restaurant. Great service. Wonderful menu. Highly recommended. BYOB.
Another urban dinner adventure with a group of friends to a BYOB restaurant. This time we tried out some Ethiopian food at Lalibela's in Edgewater. Most of us had never experienced Ethiopian food before and we were all quick to become fans. The Injera [bread] for scooping up the food with [no silverware required] is the most delightful food experience. All-in-all it was another fun-filled evening with the bill coming in with tip at $22.00 a per person. A great spot that has something for everyone on the menu with meat eaters and those that prefer not to. The service is outstanding and the whole experience was fantastic with such a big group [11] there was nothing to fault. I asked the guests to answer a few questions to weigh-in with their thoughts on the dining experience. Here is what was said in a few words or one, and in no particular order: 1. Describe the atmosphere that you encountered at Lalibela's. Post-y. Bright, casual and comfortable. Cozy. Hazy [went there after the Cubs s
Really enjoyed this place! Definitely a place we will be back! I have had Ethiopian food before but a friend hadn’t and he really enjoyed it!
You aren’t served flatware (not sure if you can ask for a set) and there is a sink to wash your hands to make sure all hands are clean.
It's a great place if your looking for an intimate setting with you and your date or even with a group of friends to just catch up on daily life! The menus had a variety of options, giving you snippets of Ethiopian culture! The food is mouth watering that even when you're full you still want to finish the plate! Oh, and it's BYOB! Last but not least, the servers were so sweet & have is nothing but a smile! Would highly recommend if you're looking for something authentic and intimate!
Delicious food and a great experience! The owner was very accommodating when we came in 30minutes before closing time, and was very friendly about explaining the menu to us. It’s BYOB so grab a bottle from a store around the corner. Excellent experience!
Great place with very relaxing vibe, friendly people, and great food! Perfect for dates and slow dinners, never felt rushed.
Good ethiopian food. The coffee is nice. Service is painfully slow. They are not rude or anything. But everything just takes twice the time, makes for an interesting place to go in a group or date. If in a hurry I'd avoid it.

Great Ethiopian Food in Chicago. The staff is very friendly. This place is wonderful for vegetarians. Food is served communally. The meat dishes are served separate from vegetables/legumes. They have some dishes that are less commonly found in other Ethiopian restaurants. Everything we have had has been very tasty. Definitely put in your list of places to eat.
My favorite Ethiopian restaurant and it's BYOB. Start with the sambusas and the lalibela salad, which is very simple yet and delicious with their homemade dressing. Any veggie dish is amazing but the stand outs are the spinach, mushrooms and curried potato and carrot. We like the beef or chicken tibs for meat options. Very friendly staff, the only thing is that the experience is slow but that is with almost any Ethiopian restaurant and not a big deal if your with good company. Highly recommended.
