Melu Cafe and Restaurant

I know this place recently has always seemed closed during their normal posted/advertised business hours. Keep checking by. It's been a long time since I've tasted really good Ethiopian food and Melu's is serving it hot and fresh!! OMG, this hidden gem's food is DELICIOUS!! (Hence, the 5-star rating)😋. Entree portions are enough for two. Most meals are ordered for take-outs, but if you have a small party (4or less) there is seating available. Atmosphere is mom & pop causal. There is a TV for viewing and traditional/local music playing over the sound system. Come with hungry bellies!! Menu items are limited but they prepare them well. Free parking available in the shopping strip they are located. Also, If your tummy can't handle the heat, they will accommodate.

It's a low key cosy family owned restaurant. I went for dinner and felt like it was closed because the lights were dimmed out. It accommodates around 15. Most of them come for a to go I guess. There was a lady and she was the owner and the chef I guess which is what I've seen in the other ethiopian restaurants as well. Anyways, she was nice to us. They didn't have the typical combos but I ordered the vegetarian and added one meat as add-on to it. It was $5 extra. Felt expensive it though. Tastes were good but felt the meat could a bit more softer. The overall experience was not bad. It's value for money I'd say. Can try once I'd return if I don't have options nearby.

Some of the absolute best Ethiopian food I've ever had. Lovely woman runs the whole place. The food is mouthwatering. The coffee is even better. Don't miss out on this spot. Dine in or take out you will love everything. Ik I did.

Every time I come to this place I feel like I’m home (even though I’m not Ethiopian!) It’s so cozy, small, comfortable! The people who work here are so warm and genuine! They treat you more like a guest and less like a customer, and are very sincere with their recommendations! Love it!!

$32 for tibs and a side of collard greens is very expensive. The injera was spoiled so it went in the trash. The tibs were just ok and the collard greens could’ve used more seasoning. Door was locked when I came to pick up my food and there was a long awkward silence as I waited to pay. It seems as though they may be open but not open? Overall, I don’t recommend.
