We recently made our first post pandemic visit to Bete-Lukas, and everything was refreshingly similar to the way it always has been.The gentleman who attends to the tables is still a delight to chat with, and the food remains a neighborhood highlight.Spice levels continue to be just right - hot enough to be flavorful, mild enough to avoid being painful. The restaurant continues to be very low key from outside - if you aren't specifically heading there, it would be easy to miss.Go up the stairs on the south side of the building and you'll find the door - it's not visible from the sidewalk.Inside, they appear to have made some updates to the lighting - it remains subdued and contributes to a calm, relaxing environment for enjoying your meal.
this was my first time having ethiopian food and it was a delightful experience! the waiter was a character and kept us highly entertained.good vibes all around
Bete-Lukas is a special place for me; it was one of the first meal I had in Portland and it makes me so happy to know they are still here.They offer delicious comfort food that I can comfortably order whatever I want without Celiac's restricting my options, given to you by a man who has led this restaurant honestly and with a warm heart over the years.I have never experienced a flavor quite like the one they achieve with their Asa Goulash (the fish!) I highly recommend this place, as well as the food here.Walk in the door, and you'll see what I mean.Thank you for a memorable experience every time.
