Bete-Lukas is an absolute gem tucked away in Portland! 🌟 The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed, perfect for an intimate dinner or a casual night out. I highly recommend the Asa Goulash - a unique fish dish bursting with flavor!

The service was stellar, our waiter was both entertaining and attentive. 😄 The spice levels in the dishes are just perfect; you get all the flavor without overwhelming heat. Reservations are a must, as it can get busy! This spot truly captures the essence of Ethiopian cuisine. Can’t wait to return! 🍽️✨
