Lalibela at Danforth and Greenwood is a wonderful Ethiopian restaurant in a cozy setting, friendly staff, serving great food such as the pictured vegetarian injera plates at reasonable prices, with a good selection of drinks. I'm a regular.
A small cozy place to have delicious Ethiopian food, we had ordered vegetarian platter and lalibela platter.
The lamb alicha wot (lamb stew) was the best meat preparation amongst the orders, and will be a must try everytime I go there. Service was good, but if you are going with a large group, prebook tables coz the individual tables are a bit small for larger groups.
Our family enjoyed a gluten-free (injera is made of teff), dairy-free, non-spicy meal that is the best Ethiopian food we can remember. We asked the waitress (owner?) about these constraints, and then ordered beef (barbequed rather than stewed), lamb riblets, fried fish (two, served complete from head to tail) and vegetables. The round platter with injera, beef cubes and vegetables came to the table first, and the waitress then brought poured the lamb riblets from the hot plate from the oven. On a Sunday night aroud 6:30pm, we thought that we couldn't get a table in the full restaurant, but some other guests were escorted into a hidden room in the basement. There's more capacity than we thought. The service was attentive and friendly. On the east side (past Greenwood Avenue), street parking isn't hard to find in the neighbourhood.
