Reviews
"I saw this from a food blogger on Instagram and tbh it didn't live up to the hype. The food was okay but nothing special, the lovely man who served us went out and got me ice for my drink as they didn't have any and I needed some which was lovely. I found the food a little overpriced for what we got. And the atmosphere was a bit off. Probably won't go back as there are so many other Ethiopian restaurants to try in the west."
"Superb Ethiopian food. Been two a few places and this one was great. Owner is super friendly. Had vegan options"
"Food is great here. But beware it is strictly cash ONLY. We had to find an ATM afterwards to pay for dinner ..... not used to that in 21st century Australia. It was a family dinner for a group of 7, so payment by card would have been appreciated."
"Absolutely disgusting food, the chicken made me ill and, the slop that was thrown onto the plate was rubbish reheated in a microwave. I have eaten good Ethiopian food in Footscray but this place is one to avoid. Even the vegetables were not presented with any sort of pride. One older guy serving and cooking, i noted he was preparing food while holding the mobile phone."
"Cafe Lalibela is a locals favourite! The food is delicious and comforting, the staff are lovely and the portions are so generous. The vegetarian platter is huge and cheap. Highly recommend this hidden gem if you’re after authentic Ethiopian."
