Eshkol Ethiopian Cuisine & Cafe

Absolutely fantastic dining experience! The food was incredibly flavorful — every bite of the Injara with Meat Combo was rich, authentic, and perfectly prepared. You can really taste the quality and care in the cooking. Tesh and Chaltu made the visit even more memorable. They were warm, patient, and gracious — taking the time to explain the dish names and guide us through the menu. Their hospitality and attentive service truly stood out. Wonderful food, outstanding service, and a great overall experience. We’ll definitely be coming back!

I visited yesterday with my husband and a friend, and everything about this place was wonderful. The food was excellent—rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The owners were incredibly kind and courteous, which made the experience even more special. We’ve tried Ethiopian food at several well-known spots in Philly, and this was easily the best we’ve had. Highly authentic, welcoming, and delicious. I would 100% recommend this restaurant and can’t wait to come back. Dishes: Double meat combo Chaltu’s special Minchet Abish (must try for spice lovers) Misir wot Fesoliya

The best Ethiopian food both my boyfriend and I have ever had! We were debating between the vegan and meat combo, and the owner walked us through what’s in each dish. We ended up getting the meat combo with fesoliya on the side - and we loved it! Personally, tikil gomen was my favorite followed by fesoliya and beg alica. I would absolutely recommend to friends and come back when I’m back in the area

In the suburban, Ardmore area, it is hard to find a good Ethiopian restaurant restaurants, but glad that we find one in this area. It is family owned, service is very friendly and attentive. Recommend to make reservation. We had the meat combo, the vegan combo, banana bread, and traditional Ethiopian coffee. The platters were fresh, good and authentic, the coffee was excellent, the banana cake was a little dry. I am giving a four star because I think other Ethiopian restaurants in Philadelphia like Amsale Cafe food is a little more tasty.

It's no coincidence that this place is 5 stars with almost 400 reviews. I have been to several Ethiopian restaurants around Philly but this is definitely at the top of my list. The food is authentic and fresh. Portion sizing is great. The large meat platter for 2 served four of us, with some still left over. The professionalism and kindness of the owner and servers are very apparent. Also, their restroom is a great addition (iykyk).
