Best Ethiopian Restaurant Cambridge Near Me

Sean Steckbeck: Amazing place and warm atmosphere!

Robel: They serve old MICROWAVED injera, no shame in their game. I’ve never seen any habesha people eating there so that says enough on its own. If you’re looking for good Ethiopian, look elsewhere.

Sean McKenna: Nice waitress serving the food and enjoyed the food

T H: First time trying and was so disappointed. I ordered lamb tibs, and shiro wot. The injera was old and firm, lamb tibs had no flavor, no berbere, and shiro was watery. Even if it was free this food is not worth it. Eat literally at any other Ethiopian or eritrean restaurant and it will be 100% better.

Hannah Weigert: We order takeout from here often and the food is consistently delicious and is ready within 10 mins. We usually get the ultimate combo.

Jonathan Kebede: The worst place to order food. I order the most easiest food they can make “gored gored” man the messed it in every possible way. You shouldn’t not be allowed to have a restaurant. You should be ashamed of yourself to own Ethiopian restaurant and not able to make “gored gored”

Sa Essa: I wished I can put 0 star, cold not fresh food and they refused to heated for us we left it all we couldn’t even take a bite

Tekie Anday: Not very professional service, the food 8s also off taste. Kitfo special didn't taste normal. No butter taste in kitfo, who makes kitfo with oil? Quit the kitfo or make it right.

L Y: Went there on Monday night, and we were the only customers, I ordered two entrees, the one was recommended by the owner, it was mostly starchy bread with beef jerky, have to say that was a huge mistake. The lamb dish were ok, very little food though. Taste were ok, and I had much better Ethiopian foods before. It's one of those restaurants that you go once and won't return. My friend had the veggie combo, very little food as well. It did take two meat entrees to feed one person.

Geetika Bajpai: Big fan of Ethiopian cuisine. Tried this cafe after all the ratings. Got the vegetarian combo plate. The food was okay, for some reason seemed really low on flavor side. Bread itself wasn't sour as it was supposed to be. Wasn't the best of Ethiopian food of all the places tried. May be it was just that day of takeout ? Not sure. Lentils, also tasted pretty bland. Not the best of experience.

Amelia Nayfield: I've been here multiple times and everytime it's fantastic! The service is fast and everyone is so genuine and kind. The food is immaculate and I cannot recommend it enough. The atkilt is my favorite but just about whatever you order is fantastic. The shiro wot and samosas are divine. This restaurant deserves a full five stars everytime. The portions are very generous especially for the price. One of my favorite restaurants I have ever been to!

Rod Nayfield: Incredible Ethiopian cuisine. I have been to many Ethiopian restaurants up and down the east coast from DC, to NYC, and Boston ... Sheger is among the best - including the famed DC Adams Morgan restaurants.As you can see from the photo, we had a massive amount of food shared between three people. The Ethiopian samosa appetisers were great and the food arrived quickly. We took home leftovers and saved room for the baklava dessert which was fantastic.Highly recommended.

Julia Zhu: My favourite local Ethiopian place! They have a big meat/veggie combo I like to get. Try the honey wine!

J Smith: Will not dine here again, wait staff was rude and did not accommodate, asked for papers and after explaining why I could not provide I was told to leave and not return. Wrong side of history...

Elinor Actipis: I used to like this place, but it's very unfriendly and discriminates against customers based on medical status for no clear reason, not in accordance with town regulations.

Brian Leslie: Sloooow, inattentive service from a waiter who has to be beckoned to bring us water and the check. But there is zero atmosphere or ambience. No background music playing, which makes it TOO quiet, so much so that we felt the need to speak softly to avoid having every word we say be audible to every other table in the restaurant. all this made for a very awkward dining experience. After eating here twice, we won't be back. Not recommended for vegans. I specified vegan and yet my food came out on the same plate (and comingled with) meat dishes my friend ordered.

Rachel M: Usually has a line out the door. Well worth the wait.

Celeste De Palma: This place is so homey! Staff is very friendly and are happy to give their recommendations. The food is exquisite! I was so happy to find this phenomenal Ethiopian place. The veggie and/or mix variety sampler dishes are the way to go. You can order one and share with 2 or 3 people easily.

Sarah Wang: Such a fun vibe and great flavors! Loved the huge plates and eating with my hands. I don’t think I am the biggest fan of Eritrean food, but everything tasted great. I especially loved the sponginess of the bread :) Very friendly waitress too! I recommend getting the trials of the meat and veggie, so you can taste everything! Surprisingly, I liked the bean dishes the best.

Micki Reinhorn: Great flavor. Fun environment for familyRecommended dishes Meat Combination …More

James Zabik: The ambiance is pretty casual, and you come in and wait in line until your part can be seated. My party and I ordered the meat combo and the veggie combo so we could try a bunch of things. It was totally the best move because we got to try so many amazing things. Eating with your hands and the injera bread was a little weird at first but after a minute I was loving the experience!I would definitely come back here as it was all so flavorful and different than most things around here. I definitely recommend visiting!

Derbabawit Channel: Nice Eritrean place to be around Cozy and good food But I wish they can make an improvement on there bread/injera It’s better to use Teff instead of all purpose flour!

Kelsey “Aaron” Cole: Love this place. Ajibo, kitfo and the vegetarian plate are the stuff of my dreams!! Great for take out too!

Janette Yerling: waitress seemed in a rush. not very attentive, food hit the spot!

Deepti Akarsha: Sides were good but the Injera was too tangy for anyone’s liking. If you like super tangy stuff, you can try.

nivya sharma: Ethiopian cuisine reminds me of Indian cuisine all the time. The food was tasty. Service was a bit slow, not sure if that was due to holiday season. Value for money as the quantity was overwhelming and food was very filling. I am all hearts for the food aroma filling the place. They have a variety of veg and non-veg options, catering to all the food preferences.

eric Safali: Had the combo meal on this second visit . Very tasty however I give 4 stars because the injera wasn’t as soft or fresh as I remember having on my first visit a couple of years ago

ashish kumar: The worst Ethiopian food I ever had in the last 10 years. Injera was so stale and sour that I couldn't even take a bite. The veggies were tasteless and the chicken was over cooked. Also they made you wait for an hour for the food.

Akshada Shinde: Horrible service ! Not so good food ! Overcharging !We waited 20 minutes for the waitress to take our order although there were only two tables occupied including us. It took them another hour to get us one vegetarian and one non-vegetarian combo plates. The injeras were horribly sour and the waitress was very rude. She did not inform us that gratuity was already added and when went to ask her about it she just ignored us. This place is only open to legally rob people.One star for the honey wine, the only good thing we had at that place.

Priyank Jain: Vegetarian options: The veggie curry is a must try- squash perfectly cooked and very flavorful. Kid-friendliness: Spacious place. Staff was welcoming. We brought in our stroller. Changed our table. Got a high chair. Did not have non alc drinks in menu. No problem. Next door is a convenience store. Staff said ok to byob for the kids :)

Dragan Ange: Delicious food! Very fresh and tasty! One of the best dinners in my life. I highly recommend trying a mixed plate so you can try a little bit of everything. Friendly people and good good coffee

John Ogren: The food was amazing. Great flavors. The service was horrendous. We waited an hour to get our meal and about 20 minutes to reciee our check. Drinks took forever and we never recieved our hot water. The only reason I have 4 starts was for the food... Otherwise they would of received 1 star. Bring your patience and don't be In a rush.

Derbabawit Channel: We had a Vegetarian combo and Cheese with Collard green, it's not how we truly expected especially the cheese with collard come out horribly. What makes me write the review is the server wasn't helpful when we confide her the food is not right and she answered that is not her fault but it's the cook, and she hand over me to write the review instead of asking for an apology!What a service!.

Charlie Daigle: Amazing food. We ate the large Veggie Sampler with some Doro Wat and Doro Tibs. Even amongst all the beautifully spiced meat and lentils, my favorites by far are the collards and the Tikil Gomen. I have been trying to make Tikil Gomen as good as Blue Nile and still can't get it as buttery and flavorful as they do.Eat outside if you can!Dietary restrictions: Good vegetarian options

Jissaura: This place is a gem!! Only had Ethiopian food one other time in Washington DC, but living in Rhode Island there aren’t any restaurants here. My boyfriend had never tried it before so we took the trip to Boston to try this restaurant out. Everything was wonderful! The owner sat us down and checked in on us and was so sweet. I got the vegetarian combo and my boyfriend got a beef entree. Food was seasoned well and tasted great. We also got a bottle of their honey wine and it is fantastic! Worth the hour trip!! Cant wait to come back again.

Rebecca K: Wow what a hidden gem of a restaurant! The warmth and hospitality is absolutely incredible, the owner was constantly on his feet doting on his patrons and making everyone feel like an honored guest. There's a lot on the menu and if you are unsure, don't miss the specials (listed below drinks on the website menu).Parking in this neighborhood can be a bit tricky but there is a free lot nearby (roughly 350 Centre street). This restaurant is not a well kept secret of the neighborhood locals, so I definitely recommend calling them to make reservations or else you might be waiting.Vegetarian options: lots of fun and interesting options for non-meat eatersWheelchair accessibility: No step to enter the businessDietary restrictions: Good vegetarian options

And after I got home when I open it the food I got one meet and no egg. I have tried all ethiopian resultant in Boston this is the worst restaurant I have ever seen. I will not be order again and not recommend to friends.
