Lalibela Restaurant - Taste of Ethiopia, Wedding in Berlin

Food was so tasty and full of flavour. The service was very lovely and you can tell their heart is in it. Will come back!

Had a lovely lunch with a bunch of friends here. The service was very friendly. The food was good (though something didn’t sit right with my stomach). I especially like their signature tea.

Been there for the second time and definitely not the last time! The food is great! The restaurant is also really nice and cozy. Ambience great!!! Very friendly service!

Authentic Ethiopian food with a 'coffee ceremony', very delicious, diverse, appealing to all senses. And above all, friendly, warm-hearted, competent service. Holistic experience that makes the evening something very special!

Great service & ambience! Food was also delicious. Recommendation goes out.

Beautiful, sweetly decorated store - fast and very friendly service. And the food was delicious! My girlfriend and I were able to reorder a few toppings without any problem and were very impressed. Gladly again! :)

Cozy Ethiopian restaurant in the Soldiner Kiez. The food is very tasty.

Great authentic food and service. We‘ll come again :)

Delicious food, great atmosphere, Kind waitress

Such a beautiful restaurant and such amazing large platters. The service is kind and the waitress is so kind. I recommend coming here!!

Excellent Ethiopian cuisine, the injera is fantastic. Best Ethiopian food I've had in Europe to date. Honey wine was to die for!!

Delicious Ethiopian food. Amazing lentil dishes. Service was also friendly and on point. We got a bottle of Honey wine too. It was so good !

Clean, friendly and fast. The food tastes excellent.

Never again!!! So if I had left a review immediately after visiting the restaurant, it would have been 3 or maybe even 4 stars. The ambience was nice, the service friendly and the food served surprisingly quickly. Four of us ate there about 2 weeks ago. As absolute newbies to Ethiopian cuisine, we ordered the large mixed platter. It was served fairly quickly and everything was very filling. The food itself is a matter of taste. 2 thought it was great (at that point) and 2 wanted to leave it as a one-off test. Points would have been deducted here because there was no explanation whatsoever. The large plate was put down and we would have been happy if the young lady had briefly explained what was on it. Unfortunately there was no information whatsoever. Too bad! So we tasted our way through. As already mentioned, it is a matter of taste. But apparently there were only 2 dishes with meat on the plate!?. The rest was vegetarian. A little expensive for the price of 25 euros per person. But why is there only 1 star? Because all 4 of us got diarrhea within the next 24 hours! I also threw up. These complaints lasted for several days! Never again! If all 4 people have these problems, then there is something wrong with the food.

I was pretty disappointed. I regularly enjoy eating Ethiopian food in various restaurants in Berlin. Yesterday I tried the Lalibela in Wedding and was very disappointed. I ordered Doro Wat and the price-performance ratio was underground. The portion consisted of a boiled egg, a small chicken leg and a tiny wing. The whole thing was draped on a maximum of a tablespoon of sauce...and all that for 15 euros!!! My daughter ordered number 12, consisting of 4 different dishes…. There were only three on the plate. We only received the missing dish when we asked, but on the grounds that it would otherwise never be served. Incomprehensible! If there are 4 different types on the menu then these should also be served for the price. My wife ordered Tips and the meat was hard to chew because it was so tough. In the end, the three of us paid 70 euros including a drink and left the restaurant hungry. Basically the taste was okay but the portions were very generous for the price. Unfortunately it was the first and last time at this location.

Service was friendly and fast, and they were very accommodating when asking for variations of their menu.

So good, shared an everything plate in 2. The peanut butter element was to die for, the honey wine super delicious. Gonna go back and get a litre next time.

Friendly service, the decor has an Ethiopian flair. The food was plentiful and very delicious.

Loved the cuisine, a bit similar to south Indian cuisine. Good amount of portions. Nice ambience, and music.

The food is absolutely amazing. Every time I’m in town this restaurant is a must! The staff is soooo nice and friendly. Im always leaving beyond satisfied !!! =)

If you are looking for authentic Ethiopian cuisine, you will not be disappointed here! Very very very tasty. The staff are very friendly and always serve with a smile. There are no wishes left unfulfilled and you feel as welcome as if you were in your own home. We always enjoy coming here to eat. Thanks :-)

The food was good however I felt that the portions were too small for the amount being charged.

It was my sister's birthday and she wished to go to an Ethiopian restaurant, and we picked this one. We told the waitress she'd pick the table because it was her birthday. We had the Samosas and the house special platter. Not only the food was really outstanding, but the portions were quite large. But the biggest surprise was at the end of the dinner, my sister went to ask the bill and the waitress came back with a dessert with a firework on top, and she played a happy birthday song for my sister! Nobody of us expected this, it was such a nice surprise, so kind and spontaneous! This place and its wonderful staff has definitely left a long lasting, beautiful memory in our hearts (and our stomachs)

"Terrific" Super delicious food. Fresh food, delicious spices. Injera nice and thin and fluffy as it should be. Price performance is definitely very good. We'll be back on our next Berlin trip!

A great place for authentic Ethiopian cuisine. The portions are large - as they should be. The staff is really nice also.

The food was great and the portions were enormous. Also, the waitress is very friendly and told us about Ethiopia! Highly recommended to eat here for some Ethiopian food!

Quite possibly the best Ethiopian food I've ever had and I've had it from all over the world including Addis. The flavor, the portion size, presentation of the food and service was all amazing. I had the tibs by the way. 5 out of 5 for sure. I will definitely visit again whenever I'm in Berlin.

Excellent service, great decor and really tasty food. First experience with Ethiopian food and will definitely visit again!

I didn't like the vegetarian dishes and were bland and the flatbread was very sour. I can't judge whether it's authentic Ethiopian cuisine. I absolutely cannot recommend the food.

Super friendly and authentic, very tasty food in a nice atmosphere

Super delicious food, extremely friendly and attentive staff. I look forward to eating there again soon. Thanks!

Really lovely food, great for sharing!

Ordered several times Doro wot, the first time was good, but after that every time the portion was shrinking. The extra rice ordered was just a joke, without the extra small portion of rice it’s basically a mini child meal of rice and one small drumstick and a cooked egg in the sauce along with some aged salad I just threw away. If you don’t wanna do promotion or discount then don’t ! Otherwise it’s scam

It was my first time eating Ethiopian food and I was really impressed. Very tasty, very nice service and great ambience.

Avoid this place. Had bad stomach pain. Bad quality and expensive food.I was here one year back ago. It was nice and delicious but now it is really sour and not nearly close to an authentic Ethiopian food

The food was good and the service was spectacular! Loved It

Delicious food, friendly people, recommended!

Always a great experience when you share the big plate with friends. The service couldn't be friendlier. So we will continue to serve there.

Nice restaurant and good vegetarian choices. I have been also in other branches and the quality was also good. Try the honey wine if you like sweet wines

Very tasty food, employees are very polite and loving, happy to come again ❤️❤️❤️

We loved the food and the service was amazing!!!!! Really friendly

Welcoming staff and an amazing food with blend of spices.

Lovely place, great food, awesome to share

Very pleasant setting, delicious food and impeccable service. Absolutely worth testing

The food was good, nevertheless not even close to what I had in other Ethiopian restaurants. It lacked flavour, especially the lentils. The waiters were very nice and friendly, the place was quiet, would have really been perfect would the food had a bit more taste.

We tried menu numbers 062 and 030. Overall okay. But some of the stew didn't test authentic or nice.

The dishes were served at a very long interval, so that you couldn't eat together. The food was tasty but unfortunately no one could tolerate it. The ambience was visually very nice, only the music was repeatedly interrupted by streaming advertising. In the end the calculation wasn't correct either, which was then corrected very quickly.

Good food, wonderful service, clean and will go back. The portions are large. We had a large mixed platter for 2, which would easily feed 3 people. They could turn down the volume on the music a little though to make conversation easier.

We absolutely loved the food and the huge portions! The atmosphere is very nice and the operators are super nice. We will be back definitely!

We had a mixed platter of vegetarian and meat dishes. Everything was super tasty. Nice cozy atmosphere. Very friendly service. We'll definitely be back.

Wonderful little restaurant with flair! Incredibly delicious and authentic food served on large platters. Traditionally, it is eaten with bread and hands. Cutlery is also available upon request! 😄

Delicious food and lovely people!! :)

Delicious food, but small Portion. The dish for three wasn't really enough for three.

Very small portions for the price

Very nice restaurant with sooo delicious food (also vegetarian and vegan options).

Schöner Laden mit leckerem Essen und netter Bedingungen

Great food, and super kind staff. Can recommend the vegetarian plate for two, and the peanut soup.

Excellent food. My favorite is the beef in peanut sauce. Nice Ethiopian decor. Homemade honey wine was interesting but I wouldn't get it again. They seem ok with BYO

Wir besuchen Lalibela immer wieder gerne am Nachmittag, um Ostafrikanisches zu genießen. Jedes Mal sind wir von der liebevollen Zubereitung der Gerichte begeistert. Ich kann gar nicht genug betonen, wie herausragend die Qualität der Speisen ist. Die Gastfreundschaft und Freundlichkeit des Personals tragen maßgeblich zu unserem Wohlbefinden bei und machen unseren Besuch zu etwas Besonderem. Da meine Wurzeln in Eritrea liegen, fühle ich mich hier immer ein bisschen wie zu Hause. Ein absolutes Muss ist die Platte für zwei Personen mit 11 Saucen. Es ist erstaunlich, wie eine einzige Platte oft für zwei Personen ausreicht, da die Portionen großzügig sind. Das Teilen dieser Platte ist zu einem Ritual für uns geworden, und wir genießen es jedes Mal aufs Neue. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Schmeckt ganz gut, aber es wurde wirklich alles nur aufgewärmt, nichts frisch zubereitet. Sogar die Salatblätter waren schon vorgeschnitten. Für die Preise kann man zumindest bei Gerichten, die es erlauben, frische Zubereitung erwarten.

Die Ruhe der Menschen dort ist inspirierend! Das Essen ist fantastisch wirklich!

Ein ruhiges kleines Restaurant mit braunen Wänden und Holzstühlen.

Really great! Got the vegan menu which was delicious, and tried Tej for the first time. Love the decor, too!! Bilingual menu, accepts card payment.Can’t wait to come back! :)

Absolutely amazing food and great quantity! Amazing for large party groups for celebrating occasions!

Tolle Aromahäufchen mit Bauschaumbrotrollen aside.

Sehr leckeres Essen mit ungewöhnlichen Gewürzen. Netter Service und angenehmes Ambiente. Ich werde wieder kommen!

Sehr freundliche Personal. Und flexibel. Immer gern wieder besuchen wir dieses Restaurant.

I had a great Ethiopian night with my friends. Food was amazing and we enjoyed the honey wine and Ethiopian beers. Efrem was a very friendly and welcoming host. አመሰግናለሁ

Super leckeres Essen und ein wirklich sehr freundlicher Service!!! Ich hatte eine vegetarische (ich glaube sogar vegane) Platte, die sehr lecker war, aber auch die Fleischvariante scheint sehr gut gewesen zu sein. Ich komme gerne wieder!

Absolut begeistert! Wir kommen wieder :)

Super leckeres (und vor allem VIEL!) Essen, sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter*innen und ein tolles Ambiente. Ich würde (sofern ich in Berlin bin) hier definitiv wieder essen gehen. 😌

Really good food and extraordinary courtesy of the staff! we will be back!

Nun ja. Das Ambiente war super. Ein sehr netter Chef/Mitarbeiter. Gastfreundlich und aufmerksam, der uns alles erklärte. Das Essen muss man mögen. Bin um eine Erfahrung reicher. Das war es wert.

Sehr leckeres Essen.. Immer wieder gern... Nur der Brotfladen war nicht meins.. Da wäre eine Alternative zur Auswahl gut.. Ansonsten freundlicher Service in einen netten Ambiente..

Ich habe schon bei einigen äthiopischen Restaurants in verschiedenen Städten gegessen. Die Speisen hier haben mir sehr gut geschmeckt und waren super gewürzt, es waren auch einige neue Kombinationen dabei, die ich noch nicht kannte. Es gibt sogar verschiedene Variationen, auch verschiedene vegetarische Speisen. Ich war rundum zufrieden, es ist auch schön eingerichtet und die Bedienung war sehr nett. Ich komme auf jeden Fall wieder!

Es war wieder sehr lecker! Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich und umsichtig, trotz der vielen Gäste. Wir kommen immer gerne wieder!

Sehr nette & aufmerksame Bedienung. Super leckeres Essen. Wir hatten das Menü 2. Gerne wieder.

This is worst and most unhygienic restaurant I’ve been to in Europe. Tables and chairs in the dining area had COCKROACHES roaming around!!! I cannot simply imagine the kitchen and other areas. We cancelled our food order and immediately left the place! Worse thing is they even charged us for the drinks that we had ordered and didn’t even apologize for the disgusting cockroach encounter. It was very obvious that they were aware of the issue. DO NOT trust the reviews for this place!

Richtig gutes authentisches Essen. Wir haben eine Platte für 3 Personen bestellt und waren zu viert sehr satt! Gute Getränkeauswahl, gutes Service! Ich kann das Restaurant nur empfehlen.

This is an average restaurant at best. Compared to other Ethiopian food experiences I've had in Berlin and elsewhere, this feels like a very poor analog of what Ethiopian food is supposed to taste like. I already had doubts as we walked in and didn't see a single Ethiopian person in sight. In the kitchen there also didn't seem to be any actual Ethiopian people employed. The food came out VERY quickly (maybe 2-5 minutes after ordering), which sounds like a positive, but when food comes out that quick it usually means it's all pre-prepped and just microwaved. The taste of the food was ok, but lacked the real depth and nuance of proper Ethiopian cuisine. The Njera was dense and dry without the distinctive sour dough flavour I've come to expect. I suspect this place is part of a chain and makes its money through heavy marketing and mass prep of the various dishes in advance. I would recommend looking at other, non-Lalibela options if in Berlin to avoid disappointment.

We ordered the meat/veggie combo plate. 19euros/pp. The dishes were lacking seasoning. Not the best Ethiopian dishes but ok. The food took a long time to come out. Service was nice. Tables inside and outside.

Ethiopian food is quite delicious and lalibela does a decent job by serving it right. It's a bit expensive for the quantity you get. Try doro wat , the flavours were great.

Sehr nettes Team mit Kaffee als Dankeschön. Essen war wie erwartet ein Genuss und Preis Leistung Top. Beim nächsten Berlin Besuch wieder

is nicht wirklich authentisch ethiopisches essen, schmeckt buttrig und sehr teuer. Ausserdem wurde keine Quittung ausgestellt / nur per mail und es wurde zu viel berechnet.

Very very tasty food and a full experience of eating together <3. thank you.

Insgesamt geht es für mich nicht auf - zu teuer, zu shabby auch das Ambiente (Tür zur Toilette schließt nicht), falsche Rechnung, einige Zutaten definitiv sehr günstig irgendwo eingekauft - es schmeckt schon, ich würde aber nicht wieder hingehen.

Not authentical, bit a rip off. The injera was not fresh. They did not have Berbere. The Tibs was like I’ve never seen before, I could almost not find the meat in between all the onions and peppers and sauce. There is no Ethiopian in the kitchen. The waiter did not really understand when I asked for some Ethiopian things. The worst Ethiopian food I’ve eaten in Germany. We should have turned around when we came, there was no Ethiopian guest, which already is a bad sign. There are better Ethiopian restaurants in Berlin. I will never come back.

Great experience for Ethiopian food.

the place is amazing, the scenery, the staff and the food are exemplary. most food is very spicy, but they have less spicy options. 1 meal was enough for me and my wife. there you should eat as in Ethiopia, use your hands to pinch food with the bread (gluten free) that comes with the meal, but you can ask for fork and knife if you want.

Wir waren vor ein paar Tagen zu zweit im Lalibela. Wir wollten authentische äthiopische Gerichte essen und entschieden uns für eine Mischung aus verschiedenen Sorten Gemüse und Fleisch. Eine gemeinsame Platte half beim Teilen. Das Essen mit den Fingern unter Zuhilfenahme von Injera wurde gut erklärt. Es war sehr schmackhaft und interessant gewürzt. Der Service war sehr aufmerksam und stets zur Stelle. Wir kommen gerne wieder!!!

Super leckeres Essen!! Schön angerichtet! Nettes Personal! Schöne Deko. Wir haben eine Portion für 2 Personen zu dritt gegessen. Es ist immernoch etwas übrig geblieben. Kaffee für den Weg, gab es auch aus einer tollen traditionellen Kanne.

Sehr nettes Lokal mit ausgezeichnetem Essen.

I recently dined at this Ethiopian restaurant and had a fantastic experience. The service was friendly and attentive, making me feel welcomed. The food was outstanding, with authentic flavors and well-prepared dishes that left me satisfied. The prices were reasonable, offering great value for money. The ambiance was inviting, adding to the overall enjoyment of the meal. I highly recommend this restaurant for a practical and delicious dining experience.

Super nett und sehr gutes essen...alles super...

Sehr zu empfehlen! Das Essen war sehr lecker und wurde traditionell auf einer Platte mit Hütchen gereicht. Wir hatten das Lalibela cultural spezial für 2. Und einen traditionellen Café danach. Auch sehr freundlicher Service und in der Karte sind Informationen zu Sprache, den Lebensmitteln und Gewürzen. Hat Spaß gemacht. Wir kommen wieder. 😀

Great food and friendly staff, totally recommend!

Erstmaliges Erleben der äthiopischen Küche, eine interessante Erfahrung.

Lalibela, ein kleines Stück Äthiopien in Berlin - ein wahres Träumchen. So lecker italienisch, kroatisch, griechisch und andere Küchen sind, auf Dauer wenig abwechslungsreich Umso erfreulicher ist, die Vielzahl Küchen anderer Länder in Berlin vor zufinden. Das Lalibela haben ich schon einmal in Berlin Kreuzberg testen können und war begeistert. Jetzt war ich mit meiner Familie in Berlin Wedding essen. Selbst meine Mama mit ihren 85 Jahren war beeindruckt von den geschmacklich großartigen Speisen! Es klingt vielleicht ein bisschen übertrieben, aber die Gewürzkombination, das leckere hauchdünne Sauerteigbrot, das Hähnchen und Ei in einer leckeren Soße, das Rindfleisch-Stew, alles ist sensationell zubereitet..... Wirklich zu empfehlen ist eine Vielfalt der Speisen zu wählen, um möglichst viel zu erleben. Herzlichen Dank für das köstliche Essen

Nett, freundlich, aber schon besser abessinisch gegessen
