    Simple the best. If you want to try exotic, very tasty, authentic food from Ethiopia Cafe Lalibella is a must. The food is amazing. We love the vegetarian plate. You eat with your hands which is an exciting experience. Sometimes there are very long waiting times for food. But George and his team is just so heart-warming that you can’t be mad. We are regularly guests there. We just love the atmosphere and the food there. Highly recommend! Looking forward to next time already again.

    The best Ethiopian Restaurant in town. This is just so delicious so healthy so friendly! I went there 3 times already and I would go more times to enjoy this mix of veggies and meat made by True Africans.

    Cosy and friendly atmosphere where really tasty food is served, vegan options are available like different kinds of lentils. Rice instead of the traditional rather soft bread is no problem, so is cutlery if don't like eating with fingers. The staff is really friendly. Recommendation!

    Absolutely in love with this place! The food is brilliant and although it might look a bit pricey, the portions are more than adequate for one person. The staff are extremely friendly and liven up the atmosphere of the place. A must visit when in Vienna. Cash only.

    From the amazing aroma of the burning herbs welcoming you into the restaurant to the sounds of reggae in the background. The food was quite amazing, giving a feeling of the land's cuisine. The service was top notch, and I would highly recommend visiting the restaurant. Not forgetting, St George Beer which is one of a kind.

    Delicious vegetarian platter-yetsom beyaynetu! Fresh injera! I had little to eat all day while sightseeing, other than loads of amazing coffee, and stopped here for dinner. Embarrassingly gobbled it all down in less than 15mins. When the waitress came to check on me to ask if I needed anything, not even a piece of injera was left.

    Legendary review: 1. Initially surprised to see 4.9 stars with 500+ reviewers. But must admit, definitely worth it. 2. Great hospitality; good ambience; music on tv; clean & sanitized. 3. Good food quality. Great value for money. 4. WC: yes! 5. East to reach by tram.

    The best Ethiopian food in Vienna and even Central Europe. The server was really lovely (forgot to ask for her name) and really energetic that it brightened everyone's mood up. Food was really good and authentic, made by Ethiopian ladies. 10/10 would recommend

  • 5/5 Stian Emil B. 6 months ago on Google
    The place has a cosy atmosphere with a very welcoming presence and authentic feeling. Hearty homemade cooking in a lovely intimate/social eating experience. Would heavily reccomend 😁 Will be back with friends if i get the chance. 😃

    My heart breaks that I can’t visit Ethiopia. The only thing that keeps me going is the tastes and sounds provided by this restaurant. The spicy, rich, satiating, starchy, pleasures that I wrap in fluffy flatbread fills my belly and feeds my soul. Every time I come, George and the gang make me feel like I’m a long-lost family member returning home. A must go in Vienna

  • 5/5 Ursula Elisabeth P. 3 years ago on Google
    Delicious food at this lovely small cafe. It’s not a big place and got a Restaurant and bar area and a tiny toilet. Menu offers more non veggie options which surprised me but still yummy options. Ate the vegetarian platter for one, bread was exceptionally good! Staff are very friendly, service slow at times but was honoured with a smile and some free tea

  • 5/5 Cara 2 years ago on Google
    The food was amazing and the staff was very friendly and helpful! The have vegetarian/vegan options and (most) options are also glutenfree; great for groups as well (but book accordingly!). Bring cash tho, it wasn't possible to pay with credit/debit card

    Wonderful place. You will love the cleanliness. The scent is pure African. The best Injera i have ever enjoyed.

  • 5/5 Philipp D. 2 years ago on Google
    It tasted awesome and it was funny as well to eat with the fingers. Thank you. 😊 We took the mixed plate for 2 persons.

  • 5/5 C G. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing food and owner! Really, go there and give it a chance, there is no way you don't like the food and the atmosphere ! But bring a bit of time ;-)

  • 5/5 gareth r. 1 year ago on Google
    Nicest food I’ve ever experienced. I’ve travelled the world and still, this cuisine has surprised me with its mix of fragrances and textures. Don’t be afraid of eating with your hands, it actually makes the dining experience even more enjoyable. Definitely recommend!!

  • 5/5 John D. 2 years ago on Google
    Very friendly staff. You must try the vegetarian (/vegan) plate for two it's delicious. The coffee is also very good. I would recommend booking a table, since it has been pretty crowded lately.

  • 3/5 Phil S. 2 years ago on Google
    This restaurant is a two-edged sword! On one hand the food is really tasty & the prices are more than reasonable. So I should rate this higher BUT it is very uncomfortable to sit since the chairs are not really suited for a cozy meal. Also the restaurant was quite chilly so we opted to go to a place nearby to warm us up again. Furthermore the service, whilst friendly, lacks attentiveness & so we sat in front of empty glasses for quite some time. Eating without cutlery certainly is unusual but manageable (even though at least offering some for the hot dishes would be nice). In summary this is one to visit for a quick bite when in the area but certainly not something one should go for a (extended) dinner.

  • 5/5 riya s. 1 year ago on Google
    This is one of my favourite restaurants (very few) in Vienna, where I go very often. I love their food. I am never disappointed with their food quality and its amount. Lalibela platte is the recommended one, because you get all the dishes together in small amount. And their injera is absolute delicious. You can have as much as you want. Apart from the food, the people are so nice, so polite, you will always feel that they are your own people. Since it is a very popular place, I strongly recommend to reserve table every time you go there. I strongly recommend this place.
