Lalibela Ethiopian Restaurant is a delightful dive into authentic Ethiopian cuisine! The moment we walked in, the warm aroma of spices embraced us. I enjoyed a flavorful Doro Wot paired with injera, while my husband savored the smoky Beef Kei. We couldn't resist trying the sambusa - so delicious!
The couple running the place were incredibly friendly, sharing insights about the dishes and even taking our photo.
However, it’s worth noting that our bill surprised us; do check prices before ordering. Overall, this cozy spot is a must-try for a memorable meal! 🥰

Lalibela Ethiopian Restaurant is a delightful gem in Jacksonville! 🌟 The moment you step inside, the inviting scents of rich spices and incense whisk you away.
I ordered the Doro Wot, which was perfectly spiced and served with the incredible injera. My husband loved the smoky Beef Kei - so flavorful! The sambusas were a delicious start to our meal too.
The owners radiate warmth and even took the time to explain the dishes and their cultural significance. Just a heads-up on pricing - it can get a bit pricey, so check menu details. Overall, a must-try for authentic Ethiopian flavors! Can’t wait to return! ✨
