The Habesha Garden: Reviews & Ratings
I would love to see more Ethiopian restaurants get a bit more attention than they do. I've only been to Nile Vegan in the city and it's delicious! My friend had never had this cuisine so I suggested it. Parking in the rear and at the front of the building. Quite a number of customers inside too! The guy at the bar was basically the only server. He took orders for drinks and food and also delivered food to tables. He seemed busy and flustered. My friend and I both ordered the doro wat. Hers was chicken while my version was already mixed in with the injeera. It was a LOT of food. More than I usually get portion-wise. Next time, I'll order to share. The food didn't disappoint! Filling and great seasoning! It's got a larger menu than I'm used to seeing so I definitely would come back to try something else. Love it here!
Sooo yummmmmy I love the new owner! Saba is the best! I love it here I love the atmosphere!
The best Ethiopian cuisine in Columbus.. Everything is fresh, flavorful and delicious . The wait times are a little long sometimes but it's worth the wait. A little patience goes along way at this place you will not be disappointed. When I say this is the best in Columbus that is not an exaggeration, you can tell they put time into the recipes and they use quality ingredients. This place is just a spot, please give it a go!
Lalibela got to be my favorite Ethiopian restaurant in Columbus. Every meal we ordered was full of flavor and excellent portions. Very clean environment and friendly staff. Very spacious interior and good amount of seating. They do play loud music and was not a big fan of that. Expect overall loudness if you pick interior seating. They do also have a outdoor seating. They have a bar area and serve liquor. The only thing I was not super exited was had to wait almost an hour to get the food. I thought the food was reasonably priced for Dinner portions.
Excellent!!! My other fave in the city is Nile Vegan. This is hands down an amazing spot on the east side of town for authentic Ethiopian cuisine. Great service. Chill atmosphere. Excellent experience. And, we will make the 25 minute trek again!
Amazing food and wonderful service. From start to finish it was superb!! If you want excellent Ethiopian food and coffee, this is the place.

The menu at The Habesha Garden is a tantalizing journey through authentic flavors.

Customers rave about the ambiance and the welcoming atmosphere introduced by the new owner, Saba. Reviewers consistently mention the large portions and the overall value for such quality food.

Don’t let the wait deter you; great food takes time, and the cheers from satisfied diners confirm this as a local favorite.
