Incredible restaurant. Great food, great service, beautiful atmosphere, and a very cool and unique concept. The hummus and lovers platter were great. Would come again!!

I don't eat much Ethiopian food, never the less vegetarian. But this was delicious! Our server was great at advising all the best dishes to try. We left full and feeling great. Flavorful and filling. The vibes are good and intimate. Definitely get the dessert!

The food was great but the service was better! Really enjoyed our time here. Suggested dishes were delicious and don’t skip the ginger drink!

The owner is an incredible women!! She made our entire group feel welcome, as if we were sitting in her living room. The coffee service, the food, the wine were all spectacular. But the warmth of the people that work there made us all have an extremely memorable evening.

I travel all the way from Brooklyn just to go here, it's that good! The hummus is a MUST ORDER, but honestly everything is delicious 😍 I don't typically like collard greens, but I was eating these upppp Super easy to get to as well, right off the A! Findingvegannyc on Instagram :)

Very good food and atmosphere! We tried Lovers Plate - was big enough to share for two, Malawach as a desert and spiced Ethiopian Spice tea🧋 (can be cold or hot) - all food and drinks are perfect!

Loved it! I especially enjoyed the gluten free version of the plantain sliders. The caramelized onions and mushrooms on top completed the dish. The Tranquil Tamarind drink with lime was also a highlight; the sweet tamarind was tempered by the tartness of the lime.

Great food, great environment, perfect mood for a dinner after a long day or for a date. The service was very fast, friendly, and the food was fresh! I had Sambosas and the Tsion platter with a beer, I was full and satisfied.

Our first time to Tsion Cafe and it was perfect. The flavors were full and the portions were fair. Photo 1: Doro Wot or Chicken Stew, very spicy but delicious. Photo 2: Ethiopian Lamb Goulash, full flavor and rich! Served with Injera Bread. The atmosphere is perfect with or without the live music. Would recommend a visit to Tsion Cafe if you ever visit Harlem.

The food was delicious! And so flavorful. Cute little outdoor space where we had our friend's baby shower. The restaurant was very accommodating and let us transform the space with no problem. I would definitely eat here again.

Wow, the veggie combo with the homemade injera is absolutely fantastic. I've had great experiences at this restaurant before. This was the first time I ordered delivery and it did not disappoint. The meal was abundant and delicious. I will be ordering again!

I was recommended Tsion Café by my parents and was surprised to see that it was in Harlem! I believe it is the only ethiopian restaurant in the area. Tsion Café offers a unique take on the Ethiopian dining experience with fusion appetizers that I’ve never seen or had at other Ethiopian restaurants. The injera chips with hummus and fava bean dip, to name a few, were excellentz The entrées here are also comprised of very unique offerings. The mushroom tibsi and pumpkin were phenomenal. I wish more ethiopian restaurants experimented with stuff like this. The traditional ethiopian entrées are were Tsion Café lacks compared to other spots like Bunna Café. While the food is up to par, serving sizes are small and each order only comes with one of each type whereas other places double up on the various types of bites. Overall, I was surprised by Tsion Café. It stands out among New York’s other Ethiopian restaurants in location and its unique appetizer and entrée offerings. On top of all this, the host was very ready to answer our questions and was a joy to talk to after the meal. Although I may not come here for my next Ethiopian fix, no one should shy away from coming here if they are in the area and are looking to try something new.

Kind waitress (who was masked!), beautiful restaurant. Delicious food! Went with a big group. There were out of few items like oxtail and there wasn’t enough salmon but overall the group really enjoyed it! Many folks from the group will return. They have tasty gluten free and vegan options!

I came to this restaurant with hope in my heart and $42 in my wallet. I left with indigestion, emotional damage, and a deep mistrust of oregano. Let’s begin with the ambiance. The lighting was so dim I thought we were honoring the memory of better restaurants. Their tables wobbled like they have unresolved trauma. I ordered a signature meal. There was so much oil floating on top I briefly considered charging it rent. I could see my reflection in it: a reflection of someone who made poor life choices. When the owner came out in support of the Gaza genocide, everything made sense. Poor cooking with no moral compass will have your shop closed in a heartbeat. Future restauranters should take notice.

I ordered what I thought would be enough for 2 people, especially considering the price. When I got home and unpackaged everything, there was barely enough food for 1 person. I paid $60 total for 3 things. The portion sizes were infuriating. And also, we’re talking about vegetables here. Food was tasty enough but nowhere near worth the exorbitant price I paid. I’ll never go here again, which is a shame because I was excited about it.
