Everything I have ever ordered here is delicious! It takes a while to be served, but the wait is so worth it!! Recommend it for sure

1000/10 every time. Grew up in East Africa eating lots of Ethiopian dishes, and this place hits home every single time. The family who runs this restaurant is so lovely, I always look forward to going! For meat eaters, Zegni & Lalibela special is where it’s at. For veggies, the pumpkin dish is amazing.

Best restaurant !!! Highly recommend especially good for groups. We walked in when the kitchen was just about to close and the staff were so lovely and let us sit down anyway. Service was amazing, food was great. Lucky to live close by so will definitely be back!

First time trying Ethiopian cuisine and it was such a unique experience! You’re supposed to eat with your bare hands… which made my first date kinda funny but also super cute, lol. 🤣 The food was tasty and the owner was absolutely lovely. The vibe of the place is cozy and welcoming. Definitely worth a visit!

Lalibela is a traditional Ethiopian restaurant, and wow—does it deliver. Prepare to dive into a culinary masterpiece eaten the authentic way—with your hands. Half the time I had no idea exactly what I was eating, but every bite was fantastic. The restaurant has a homey, welcoming vibe, almost like stepping into the owners’ home. It’s intimate, comforting, and full of flavor. We all left talking about how much we wished we could find something like this back in the States… but this feels like one of those special places you can only experience here. 😌

Been wanting to check out Lalibela for awhile and it was absolutely delicious! Went for the spicy option and did not disappoint — full of rich, bold flavors. The food was fresh, super tasty, and beautifully presented. Make sure you wash your hands before you get the food 😉Great experience overall — recommend!

What a beautiful restaurant in Amsterdam. The food was undoubtedly fantastic and enjoyable. I would definitely come back and recommend people around this area to give it a try.

Unfortunately, the pictures I took don’t do justice to the lovely, warm atmosphere of the restaurant—or the food. Beyond the unique experience of eating with hands and the deliciously unorthodox flavours, what really stood out was how surprisingly filling the meal was. I joked at the end about needing something more after, but not long after leaving I realised I was completely full—and that feeling only grew stronger. Such a satisfying experience overall!

This was our first experience with Ethiopian food. The style of eating was different than we’re used to (eating with our hands), but the spices and flavors were amazing. If you’re visiting Amsterdam I definitely recommend you check this place out. The mango and coconut beers were also really delicious. The service was a little slow, there was only one person serving and taking orders (not sure if this is the usual), so if your in a rush maybe come back another time. Overall great food!

Easily the best food I have had in Amsterdam. If you're deciding where to eat, stop looking, you've found it! The food was delicious, the service impeccable and the ambiance lovely.
