Great place. Love the food and it smells incredible. Downstairs could use a bit more atmosphere like the upstairs. Otherwise I would have given it a 6
Great food, good service, great decor and atmosphere. Shame that the restaurant was out of ethiopian honey wine. la l l l l l l l
Still lovely food but used to be better before new ownership. Took a long time to receive food after ordering even though the restaurant was quiet. Would still visit again.
Atmosphere was great, but the food was only ok. Not blown away, have had better ethiopian at other places. Probably won't go back, better to explore other places.
GREAT FOOD, LOVELY ATMOSPHERE! returning to Lalibela very soon to spend another lovely evening enjoying delicious food. Joined by 3 vegetarian friends who also managed to make the mostwith the options available to them.
I absolutely love the food at Lalibela and the restaurant has a friendly family atmosphere. Just make sure you're not in a rush and also not starving when you arrive. It will take a good little while until your food arrives. But it's worth the wait!
This was my second time at Lalibela and both times the food has been outstanding. The restaurant has a good, friendly vibe and the service is great. Top marks
We love this place. The food is fresh and home cooked and large portion sizes. Good menu choices. The service is friendly. We will be back.
Went last night for the very first time and both me and my friend absolutely loved it!Gorgeous food,great chilled atmosphere,the waiter was polite and helped us choosing.We will definitely be back!
We got seated very quickly. Food was good and plentiful. We had a vegan sharing platter between two people which we really enjoyed. Would come again.
We had a lovely evening at Lalibela - enjoyed all aspects: the decor (so lovely), the delicious food and really friendly people. WI'll definitely go again.
We had such an amazing meal - the decor of the restaurant is amazing and the staff very attentive. It was as though we were not in London at all .
Good food and location with a great ambience. Sadly through the restaurant's own admission, service was slow due to there being a lack of staff.
Excellent service and fantastic food. Can't wait to visit again and try new dishes. Service was very attentive and the food so different to anything I'd tried before.
Food was great and the venue was really nice. Good choice of food on the menu and the personnel was very helpful. Will be back.
Wonderful atmosphere, great selection of music, lovely staff and fantastic food. A place I like to go to with friends when I/we need a break from the busy London life.
It was all great!! Very helpful staff and delicious food. Service was very fast and because of my birthday, they were very kind to accommodate with all cakes and guests!
Down - Well meaning but slow service and out of stock in some basics. Got order wrong and assured us would rectify but forgot to Up - friendly staff and helpful in offering that our order was too large (bigger eyes than stomachs!)
It's such a great restaurant - amazing decor, unique food, and the incredible coffee experience. Also very friendly service from the all-Ethiopian team and great value for money.
A warm beautifully creative environment, it felt such a treat to sit and be there and the food was out of this world, friendly, relaxed staff made for a delightfully exotic time
Unique ambience, great food and friendly service. Excellent experience. Would recommend without hesitation to people seeking something different, authentic and fun. Definitely worth the trip
The food was delicious but the we had to wait a long time to be seated, to order and to be served - not very attentive.
The food was good and great customer service! we were eating while they are getting ready for the night which is disturbing, they need to get ready before open for business.
Asked for a fork 8 times... Got a spoon at the end! Service was one of the worse I have ever seen. Asked for a bottle of water room temperature, 4 times and they had to search for it for 10 minutes in front of us. They try, but with poor results. The food was good but shadowed by the service.
An Outstanding experience in a local Ethiopian atmosphere; food, decoration, staff, ambiance, everything is chill and delicious as it should be. Definitely a highly recommend!
Excellent food, friendly service, all in all one of the best casual dining experiences in London, and fantastic value for money to boot. Highly Recommended.
We had passed by Lalibrla many times and it always looked like an interestingplace to go. Finally And on the spur of the moment I booked it having checked out the menu which looked delicious. Lovely friendly service, relaxed homely atmosphere and tasty food
Lovely restaurant but we just didn't like the fermented bread. If you do though, it's a great place to go! Service good and nice atmosphere.
Awful. Waited an hour for food to be told the chef had run out of our food so instead of telling us made something else and thought we wouldn't notice. When the food eventually arrived it was meat when we had ordered a vegan sharing platter as my cousin is vegetarian, luckily not for allergy reasons. They offered a tiny starter as consolation. Then had to wait longer for them to bring out some vegan curries one of which just spinach which we already had some of as luckily it came with the meat platter. The other curry was nice. They also charged for a large bottle of tap water when we just had two small glasses and were never offered a refill. The restaurant was very quiet so cannot believe it was so slow!
Really enjoyed our first Ethiopean meal. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and the waiter service was very friendly. We would definitely recommend for a fabulous experience.
Warm and friendly reception and service. A pleasantly lively and happy atmosphere, which I didn't necessarily expect on a Monday evening. It was great to taste some authentic Ethiopian spiced dishes again with injera made from teff, not to mention Ethiopian beer and coffee. Very satisfying portions. A minor mistake with the order could have been avoided if the order had been written down. Total bill £60 for two, including service. Would certainly recommend.
This place has such a great atmosphere. The food is amazing and the whole eating experience is unique. The staff were lovely and the food is very reasonably priced.
Fantastic meal, really tasty and the staff were very friendly and attentive. Lovely Valentine's Day touches and just a great restaurant that we always enjoy
Friendly service and amazing food!!atmosphere is great, doesn't even feel like being in London!many choices for vegetarians too and also for gluten free diets. :)
Fab food and great ambience. Food was tasty and great for vegetarians. Will definetly come here again. The whole eating experience was beautiful. Staff were helpful.
A lovely atmosphere to enjoy really good authentic Ethiopian food ... a real treat with staff that go that extra mile to make the experience well worth it
The wait staff are helpful with the menu, making good suggestions & giving helpful advice. The food was excellent; no over use of sugar or salt to season; just tremendous, tasty variety, from starters & sauces to coffee. The drinks list is wide.
Friendly, welcoming staff and venue. It took a while to get our meal, but portions are generous. It all feels very authentic, and while not all of the dishes were amazing, overall it's a fun experience and great food for sharing. Gets a little messy!
I really liked the food and the atmosphere! I would definitely come back to try the other dishes! Food was tasty and the staff was really kind and helpful. A good experience!
The food was delicious and the restaurant decor makes you feel like you're in Ethopia. Highly recommend the Tibs Beyaynetu and the Meta Premium Beer.
