Lalibela Ethiopian Restaurant and Lounge

Food is excellent! We have been following Lalibelas for years, from 3 different locations in DC. The combo to share is the best, and make sure to get the Shiro! Will be back again and again

Amazing Ethiopian spot in DC! The injera was soft and fresh, and every dish — especially the lamb tibs and vegetarian sampler — was full of rich, authentic flavor. The staff were warm, helpful, and made great recommendations. Cozy atmosphere, generous portions, and totally worth the visit. One of the best Ethiopian dining experiences in the city!

Food and service were incredible! The doro wat, tibs, shiro were exceptional. The staff is wonderful.

Lalibela Restaurant, Washington, DC offers truly delicious food and a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere. The genuine Ethiopian hospitality makes every visit special—you are treated with warmth, respect, and care from the moment you walk in. I have known Lalibela Restaurant band its owner for over two decades, and that welcoming atmosphere is what made me a loyal customer. My family and I always feel at home; it truly is a home away from home, especially for me. Lalibela is more than just a restaurant—it’s a place where you feel a deep sense of belonging.

Food was great, service was great, vibes were great. Definitely will be back a lot
