Shebelle Bar & Grill

Super bummed I didn’t try this place sooner because my lawwwd the food is DELICIOUS!!. I’ve been here 3 times in the last month because it is that good! First time was my birthday, we dined in. The next two times I ordered food to-go. We tried their house margaritas which were so good like surprisingly good considering I’m not a fan of the taste of liquor. When dining in our waiter was Alex who was awesome. He said the food is made fresh and it really tastes fresh each time! We tried their combo platter, samosas, plantains, and Ugali. My personal favorites were the Doro Wot, Atkilt Alicha, Misir kik wot, and the plantains. Since then, I’ve ordered the Doro Wot plate which comes with two sides and is enough food for at least two meals. Their service each time has been phenomenal they are

If you’re looking for the best East African food in the entire DFW area, Shebelle Bar & Grill is hands-down one of the top spots to try. From start to finish, this restaurant delivers an authentic, flavorful, and memorable experience that celebrates East African cuisine with heart. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm welcome and an inviting atmosphere. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable — they’re always ready to explain the dishes and traditions behind the food, which makes the experience feel personal and genuine, especially if it’s your first time trying Ethiopian or East African cuisine. The food itself is exceptional. The injera is soft and fresh, serving as the perfect base for a variety of rich and aromatic stews. The doro wot is deeply spiced an

The service was incredibly slow, taking an hour just to get the appetizers. To make matters worse, the food was outrageously expensive. For just $7, we were given two pieces of samosa that were greasy and flavorless. We left because the loud music was unbearable, and we didn’t want to endure another hour or two waiting for the main courses. This is a typical bar or nightclub with blaring music, so it’s not suitable for family outings.

The food was enjoyable, and we appreciated the freshly made injera. However, some of the dishes were served cold, which affected the overall dining experience. Additionally, the atmosphere felt more like a bar or nightclub, making it less suitable for family visits. I would not recommend this location for family outings.

Interested in trying foods of east and west African, Ethiopian, and Jamaican flavor? Shebelle Bar and Grill is a suburban gem offering a welcoming atmosphere, music (R&B and other club bangers), and good vibes. The service was superb and the food was tasty. Shebelle Bar and Grill is the spot to venture to on a Friday and Saturday night. I recommend you try the Injera, salmon teriyaki, fish, wings, lamb, catfish, and a variety of cocktails.
