Erta Ale Ethiopian

Fantastic spot! I ordered the vegan platter and enjoyed all of the variety it offered. A standout was the jalapeño dish. The food came out super quick and the staff was great

Really liked this place. I enjoyed the vegetarian Samosa and the Vegetarian platter. The Samosa appetizer with the two dips was especially memorable. Reasonable prices, final tab with tip (no drinks ordered beyond water) was in the low 20s. Had to take a box full of food home. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend. Food was perfect for a chilly winter night.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Erta Ale Ethiopian! On walking in, the space feels very welcoming and warm with interesting wall art and a beautiful tea set display. The server was busy tending to a group so the bartender came and sat us and helped us. Everyone was very friendly and kind, and the food came out quite fast. We enjoyed most of the food very much- The sambusa had a great lentil filling but I especially enjoyed the shell which was super crispy but thick enough to also have some chew. All the food had wonderful flavor and different from other Ethiopian food we’ve tried, had more texture (wasn’t just mushy), which was pleasant. Would recommend and will come back next time we want Ethiopian!

It’s one of the best Ethiopian restaurants in Minnesota, food is Amazing, the best spiced tea I have had in The US, the service was Excellent!👍

Visited Erta Ale on a Monday evening, wasn't busy, got seated right away. Cool, laid-back atmosphere. Server was nice and knowledgeable, answered all our questions. My sister ordered the food so I forgot the name of the combo dish we got. The spices and flavors were on point, and the plate was huge. Four of us weren't able to finish it. Definitely worth giving it a try. FYI- metered street parking.
