Industry Cafe & Jazz

"Good vibes, friendly staff, and great food at their Weds night jam session"

"I'm not usually a fan of Ethiopian food, but this place is great! Their platters are extremely diverse with options and well flavored. Their atmosphere is relaxed and laid back and often times have live music. Their service was also great so no complaints there. Parking can be a bit hard in this area, so I recommend parking on the side streets a block or two down. Giving it minus one star because the live music was so loud that I thought my eardrums were going to burst. It was impossible to communicate inside, but thankfully, they were able to move my party to outdoor."

"Great food, fantastic vibe, excellent music. We were visiting from. Wisconsin and our kids were able to order off the classic menu (burger, spaghetti, and chicken wings). My husband I enjoyed delicious Ethiopian fare. The owner brought out some samples and my seven year old was hooked on the bread and lentils. He's pretty picky, so this was great. The music wonderful and was just the right level so that we could talk, but the kids weren't annoying to other patrons. 100% recommend."

"Overall: Everyone should visit Industry Cafe & Jazz. The restaurant has a uniquely local vibe where one can unwind and listen to live jazz music. There are not too many places like this and this is a must when your around Culver City. The Food: The food was phenomenal. The spices, aroma, and warm nostalgic feeling of home cooking make this place a hidden gem. From all the dishes, my ultimate favorite was the Doro Wat. This chicken drumsticks felt like an elevated version of holiday food. The only down side it only one drumstick, but you can order another drumstick for 5 dollars. I could eat a whole chicken with that stewy aromatic sauce. You won't regret ordering this dish. The lentils were also delicious. They were creamy, warm, had a little kick to them. The Vibe: I also enjoy when I get to meet and chat with the owner of the restaurant. At Industry, the owner and cook greeted us and gave us a little history of his restaurant and the talented musicians. The service was exceptional and I could tell everyone loved and appreciated jazz."

"The food is great, the live music is amazing, the whole atmosphere is just awesome and relaxing. The jazz adds more flavor to your dining experience. The owner is so friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend it if you're in the area"
