Wow!! Great food. My wife and I stopped by on 6/11/25. The food had a lot of flavor. I had the Kitfo and my wife had the lamb. The food was fresh and tasty. First time eating Ethiopian food, and I will definitely be coming back. The customer service was amazing. You have to try the coffee and the cheese cake to complete your meal.

Very small place. Easy to miss because of the big place across the street. But don't be distracted. Here, we found delicious authentic flavorful food. We came on a Saturday at 4:30 and had the place to ourselves. We got vegan 2 entree with 8 different things included and lamb tibs. And it was just beautiful. Enough for 2 plus leftovers. Also, we gotten tej. Not to be missed. Very rich flavor in a fun drinking vessel. Two week fermented tej, a super quick batch mead and a real delicacy usually made in house.

Excellent service! Delicious, authentic food! I was recommended this place by an Ethiopian cab driver, and boy, was he spot on! Ambience is nice and minimalist, service is fast and attentive and menu is outstanding. Generous portion sizes as well!

I had an incredible experience at this restaurant last week. From the moment we arrived, the welcoming aroma of spices drifting from the kitchen let me know we were in for something special—and it absolutely delivered. The staff was incredibly friendly, creating a warm, relaxed atmosphere that made us feel right at home. We chose to sit outside, and the quaint, peaceful setting made it the perfect spot to enjoy a leisurely lunch and catch up with a friend. The portion sizes were generous—plenty of food with enough for leftovers, making it a fantastic value. Every bite was rich in flavor and perfectly seasoned, just as promised by that first whiff when we walked in. Whether you're looking for a laid-back lunch or a flavorful new spot to share a meal, this place is a gem. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

Absolutely loved this place! The food was delicious, full of rich flavor and perfectly spiced. The injera was soft and fresh, and every dish we tried was amazing. Rediet was super friendly and made us feel right at home. You can tell they put a lot of love into their cooking. Definitely one of the best Ethiopian meals I’ve had – I’ll be coming back for sure!

My family came here to experience Ethiopian food for the 1st time. OMG! The bar is set so high! We had the platter for 3-4 people. I can't remember the name of everything. Our waitress was so kind and helpful with explaining and recommending different options. Trust me you can not go wrong eating here. Absolutely superb!

Please bare with me, this is a bit of a long post. I walked in looking for Fufu, but found Injera instead! At Bahel, the spices and sauces they use transforms their food into something that will melt your mind and excite your taste buds. It’s hard to describe the flavors, but in my personal opinion, being able to combine veggie platters with umami flavors is not only a culinary skill, but is the fundamental basis of changing your pallet away from meat products and closer to vegetable's. But don’t worry, if you want meat, they have SOO many amazing, high quality options. Bahel is an incredibly cute, quaint place with a warm and welcoming staff. When I sat down, the aroma of the food from neighboring tables had me guessing which item it could be. I couldn’t stop smelling what I later found out to be Shiro, and it tasted even better when I tried it. The portions are well balanced with plenty to take home for later and the service is super fast. If you are unsure of how to approach Ethiopian restaurants, I highly recommend starting with a handful of Injera (gluten free is an option), asking the lovely staff member about the different sides (or meats) to dip the Injera in. This way, you can start exploring the different flavors, textures and spices to see what suits you best. So far, everything is a hit! Especially the yellow lentils. They even look like creamed corn. I’m trying to move toward a vegan diet little by little, but I find it hard to step away from meat products. I also have a very difficult time consuming raw veggies or veggies without any dressings. As I’m getting older, my body is telling me how important it is to eat a well balanced diet with whole and healthy food. Even more important, is finding food that I will actually enjoy, not just for the sake of being healthy. I’m not the most exploratory eater, but Bahel Ethiopian Restaurant has definitely changed the way I’ve thought about food and spices. My approach to veggies will be much different going forward. Thank you so much for having me and I am excited to be incorporating more Ethiopian flavors and dishes into my diet. See you all again, soon!

Went here this morning with my dad, after doing a little grocery shopping earlier at 11am. It was our first time here. The food was good, hot and delicious . Reasonable prices and good parking. Huge portions and friendly staff. Definitely come by and give them a try. My dad and I got the vegetarian combo and even got a plate to go!! Hahah, it was just that good!!
