    This little hole in the wall is my favorite stop for Ethiopian comfort food. Featured is the veggie combo platter with a side of fresh injera. The meal was both flavorful and satisfying - offering a range of tastes and textures from rich and savory to crunchy and tangy.

    In my humble opinion Lalibela’s has the best Ethiopian cuisine in the area. The atmosphere is cozy, the service is excellent, and everyone that works here is so friendly. My home away from home.

    Second time here & it was even more amazing. Our first trip we tried the tibs which were the best in town we’ve had & the waiter recommended the ribs for our next visit. We got the ribs this visit & loved them even more then the ribs (which we didn’t think was possible). Absolutely great date night vibes, atmosphere & service. A must try in Dallas!!! 👍🏽👍🏽💜

    This was my first time trying Ethiopian food so I chose this place based off reviews. I placed an online order which they didn't start making until I got there. I wanted to change my order but no one speaks English at all. The atmosphere in this place was very uncomfortable the ladies were rude and pushy one of the 3 guys sitting at the bar was acting strange and worst of all my food was completely cold which really annoyed me because I was waiting for there for over 20 minutes so there's no excuse. The taste of the food was below average. I cannot recommend this place

    This is a great place to eat. It was so flavorful and inviting. I was visiting out of town for business but I'd go there again given the chance.

    I was not ready for how good this was!!! I had a vegetarian platter and but others had meat and both were really really good. Waiters and servers are very polite and hospitable. Enjoy eating there and will definitely keep going!

    This is my second visit to Lalibela and it is by far the best Ethiopian restaurant in the Dallas area. A quaint lil restaurant which offers a homely feel. They have a full bar with a limited selection of wine. The menu has a lot of options but its best to go with the recommendation of the owner. She was great in suggesting the veg platter with an addition of lamb. You can order more injeras if you have the appetite. The veg platter has a good selection of flavorful sides and the lamb was cooked to perfection. Service was very personalized. The owner kept checking with us if everything was to our liking and if we needed anything else. Plenty of parking available right outside the restaurant. Pricing : Moderate Will I return? : Absolutely!

    Outstanding !! Quality Food and Very Good Service. Family Owned and you can tell the owners take pride in the food they serve. There were 6 of us and we asked the food to be served family style. Waiter had wonderful suggestions and we will be back !

  • 3/5 Neerja B. 1 year ago on Google
    Veggie combo.. lentils were not fully cooked , food was served cold to lukewarm, but was tasty. Had to ask two people to hear up my food. Came here years ago and unfortunately experience today was not upto par. What unfortunately happened after has happened to me in other Ethiopian restaurant Desta.. what is price in menu was $14.99 however I was charged $16.99. Had to discuss this to get them honor price in menu.

  • 5/5 SIRAK T. 4 years ago on Google
    It is the most comfortable place to try something new. Most authentic Ethiopian cuisine in Dallas l. 1st the waitress was great and the food was even better. If your a first timer I suggest the Veggie Combo and the chicken tibs = delicious.

  • 3/5 Keen O. 2 years ago on Google
    You can't call it an avocado salad and charge $9 for it if it only has 2 very tiny pieces of avocado. That was an over priced house salad.

  • 4/5 Bhumika S. 4 years ago on Google
    Food : Food Was great.Authentic Ethiopian food.Combo for really big for two people.I would suggest getting Platter with more Enjiras.They even gave extra Enjira when I took the left overs back home. Service : Excellent Service. Price : Very Reasonable for quantity and taste. Location : Not bad.Closer to one of the summit gym.

    Great service. Amazing food. It's small and simple but authentic food and it makes for a more private feel.

  • 2/5 koni t. 1 year ago on Google
    I gave two star because the waitress was kind. The food was terrible. We ordered the veggie combo and they gave us a spoiled and smelly one. We told them that it is spoiled. The owner was there she didn’t even bother coming and apologize or at last try to do something. If you go there pls stay away from the veggie combo or smell it first. Very disappointed!

    We tried this Ethiopian restaurant late Friday night, and it was great! Everyone was friendly and the waitress helped walk us through the menu. We got the vegetarian combo and gomen besiga to share, and everything was delicious! There was also more than enough food. We took plenty of leftovers for the next day.
