Lalibela Restaurant

Absolutely spectacular food.
The place is cozy inside, was fairly busy, and the gentleman running the front was very nice and quick.
I’ve never had Ethiopian food so I won’t compare elsewhere but the dishes were all delicious.
The bread…omg.
It is so good.
Like a sourdough pancake almost.
I couldn’t stop eating even though I was full.
3 people eating for only $45ish bucks? Deal. You gotta buy their water or soda so bring your own if you don’t wanna pay but that’s ok for me.
Small business so helping cut costs is understandable.
Bring a fork if you aren’t ok with sharing plates as well because they don’t give you plates or silverware but that’s completely ok with me and added to the experience. Pic is basically the remains because I forgot to get a photo before

That was quite a interesting place experience with greens and a traditional authentic experience ..
combination platter is for couple Or families who do not mind sharing the food as the authentic experience is to share and eat the food together ..
that is what the combination plate is ordered for ..
perfect for a couple and expect some Ethiopian spices.
The various types of tastes will be a mix of some bland , greens , lentils and meats. Good for a couple.

I read the glowing reviews and really looked forward to trying the food at Lalibela.
It was also my first time eating Ethiopian food. I dined in, and even the people stopping in to pickup their takeout orders were raving about the food. It's delicious! I ordered the combo platter, which had a mixture of different foods and spices, eaten on and with a side of Injera bread.
I also ordered a second combo platter to-go to bring to family. Staff was very kind.
There were also laminated papers on the table describing Ethiopian cuisine and food history, which was nice. Definitely recommend and look forward to going back the next time I'm in Omaha! :) Cultural tip: it's traditional/cultural etiquette to eat with your right hand.
Enjoy!
