Embilta Cafe & Restaurant

I have never had Ethiopian food before but when browsing food options this place caught our eye for the veggie options. We (2 people) shared the Embilta special large. Some of the most wonderful seasoning and flavors I have EVER had!! The lady (Mrs Rachel I think I heard) was a very sweet lady and the most wonderful cook! We have plenty of leftovers to enjoy over the next days and the saddest thing Is I’m from out of town and can’t come back.. but I am now on the hunt for this food near my own home!! Thank you for the most wonderful dining experience. It was so good I had to leave a review! (We also had the tomato salad which was wonderful)

Walking into this Ethiopian restaurant, I felt like I’d been instantly teleported out of Atlanta! The tablecloths under clear plastic and cozy curtains gave the place a warm, authentic vibe. The food was delicious, the service was great, and for a little while, I really felt like I was somewhere far away. Highly recommend!

Couldn’t imagine a better experience. First time ever having Ethiopian food and I absolutely loved it! We got one platter for 2 people and it was more than enough food, it could have fed 3 hungry people. Half the time we were there we were the only people dining, with the owner being the only cook. The owner was very sweet and we talked with her for a while about her restaurant and background; she even should us videos on the TV of what Ethiopia looks like! That being said, every item on our platter was perfect, i ate every part and had no complaints with the taste. That is definitely saying something since i’ve never had this kind of food before. But we both loved it. Highly recommend!

Got the veggie special to share and it was phenomenal! Great variety of colors, flavors, textures. It was enough for 3 people to eat. I even enjoyed the beets, which are usually not my preference. The red lentil curry was the best. Got a nicely spiced black tea. They have a restroom where you can wash your hands before eating. The staff was quick and she was friendly. The vibe is calm and there was a parking lot. Great value. Get your fiber, protein and complex grains here. One stop shop 💯

So there was no lamb today, I will definitely be back. I opted for the veggie special ans I was not disappointed. This was my first Ethiopian restaurant and im so happy it was this place. After reading all of the reviews, it was so hard to decide on what to eat, everything looks so good on the menu. I love supporting small businesses.
