The lights were a little too bright and in the injera portion was slim but the quality of food was off the charts. Great value for the price. We enjoyed it. The most important thing to know is to try the vegetarian combo meal for two(which is not on the menu). That way you can get a variety of specialty items. Most people who appreciate ethnic food will be happy to try

From its food to its ambiance, Lalibela is a must-visit restaurant for anyone in New Haven. The food was authentic Ethiopian and oh so filling. I was impressed by the generous portion sizes, too. And the appetizers and desserts were just as good as the entree. The ambiance in the restaurant was warm and inviting, and the decor and art added a unique touch. Great for events and one-on-one dinners, casual or formal. Highly recommended for anyone seeking authentic Ethiopian cuisine.

Whenever I go to New Haven, CT, I never leave the city without dining at this place. I tried most of the foods on the menu and they are delicious. This is the best authentic Ethiopian restaurant I ever been. The place is clean, and the staffs are very friendly. You would not be disappointed. I wish this place was in MD.

Food is the highlight of this spot!!! I really really love their tomato salad and the stewed spicy chicken and beef. Lentils and potatoes and cabbage are also my go to’s. Chicken sambusa too!!

First time visiting Lalibela, and I should admit I will come back soon! The food was excellent, the service was friendly and quick (despite being very busy). Additionally, the atmosphere was fantastic, thanks to the man playing piano. One of my new favorite address to eat in!

Lots of vegetarian options to select from and decent prices. Had a tomato based appetizer that was yummy and there was lots of sponge bread provided. Not busy during weekday at dinner time

I've been recommended to try the vegan sample platter by so many of my friends, and it didn't disappoint! It was satiating, nutritious, and offered so many diverse flavors. The owner and server were extremely hospitable and kind, and I found the restaurant to be an intimate and cozy setting :)

My first time trying Ethiopian food. Everything was great and well seasoned. Injera was very fluffy. Server was very attentive.
