Habesha Ethiopian Restaurant And Bar

I came in town on business and someone recommended Habesha to me because they knew how much I love Ethiopian food. This place did not disappoint and was probably the best I've had. The food was flavorful and spices were amazing. The Tej was wonderful and even served in an authentic Birile. The service was super friendly and kind as well. I wish they had a location in Cincinnati!

My wife and I are visiting Austin for a conference. Oklahoma is our home. We decided to try something we can't get in the Norman, OK area. Habesha looks little rough on the outside, but the inside is clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated. Our server was great, he had a great attitude and demeanor. He really made our visit fun. This was our first time to eat Ethiopian cuisine and we are now both fans. I had the meat combo plate and my wife had the vegan combo plate. It was a large portion of food and we both enjoyed our meal. I also indulged in an Ethiopian beer which was also very tasty. Overall we are very happy we chose to branch out and we are happy we chose Habesha for our dinner destination. Boomer Sooner!!!

What a great hidden gem ! Our honest opinion would be that this is the best Ethiopian restaurant in the Austin area ! We ve tried tons of other places and usually go to the famous ones but recently those were not upto the mark and we decided we would try Habesha and see if we like it, and bam! It hit the spot :) curries were amazing and sides were great, ambiance was bright and welcoming and so many spots to park . We tried the vegetarian combo and each dish was perfection! From the spinach, cheese, cabbage to the lentils and a special coconut paste - everything was amazing ! And we ordered the doro wot and the lamb tibs - and we were blown away! Probably the best dishes we've tasted in Ethiopian cuisine . The service was quick and immeccableThis will be our only go to place for Ethiopian from now on!

This place is fabulous! A little questionable from the parking lot (LOL!), but beautiful interior and the food was sooo good! We ordered the sampler plate on recommendation from the very attentive staff since it was our first time here and our first time with Ethiopian cuisine. We will all be back to try more! Additional note: all halal offerings.
