It was my first time eating Ethiopian food. We started with an appetizer sampler and had the family style platter (half meats & half vegetables) for our main meal. It was the best way to sample the many varieties of dishes they have to offer. The food was excellent, very well seasoned. It was a different kind of dining experience for us but we all really enjoyed it and will definitely go back again. The staff was super friendly, from the hostess to our server, and others who stopped by to make sure we had every thing we needed.
We had a delicious meal at Demera! The food was amazing - we started with the spinach sambusas (perfect, nice spice) and then our super friendly server helped us pick out 3 vegetable dishes and 3 meat dishes. ALL were wonderful. It wasn't a cheap meal but it was worth it!
I’ve never had Ethiopian food before and this place did not disappoint. The food was excellent and the service was impeccable. We were very impressed. I wish I was local; I would eat here once a week!
Delicious food!!!! And super healthy!!! I only eat fish and veggies and was worried I would not find enough filling food, or that it would taste bland, however the food was super delicious, filling and I loved the many different tastes! The staff was super friendly and accommodating of our group. They were kind, I could feel them celebrating with us! Thanks so much for a wonderful and unforgettable evening!!!! ����
Got the family style platter with chef's choice of 4 meats and 4 vegetables. Very diverse tastes and all incredibly delicious. A bottle of the Bogle old vine zin provided a perfect complement. Service was great, too. Trust the chef's recommendations. You will not be disappointed.
Great culinary experience. The whole family enjoyed the family style meal recommend by our server.

Amazing food and accommodations. We had a 14 person party, with several dietary restrictions and allergies. Everything was amazing, from service to food to drink to price. We will be back soon.
Food was delicious and the waitress was very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend this place!
It was my first visit to this place and first Etiophian dinner. Delicious food, excellent service and friendly staff!!! Price is very reasonable!!!
Broadway ave is home to ethipiopian food, it seems. Demerara is a gem! Cozy place with amazing staff and delicious food. right across Green Mill too! I was here with a large group and we got excellent service.
Our first time for Ethiopian food and the staff did a great job of helping us select a nice variety to try....and everything was excellent! I wouldn't highly recommend it if you are in the area.
The sweetest server in the world! Decent wine and great food. They just need to dim the lights a little. Will definitely be back.
I simply love Demera's. The food and the service is the best Ive ever had at a resturant.
absolutely fantastic!!! this was my first experience having Ethiopian cuisine and it was the best one I could've had. we didn't know what to get, so we got the Chef's selection Messob, and the Sambussa sampler. all incredible. flavors were intense and delicious, strong but not overpowering. had a lot of fun mixing and matching different flavor combos, all of which were delicious. service was great and the ambience was a whole vibe. excellence all around

From the atmosphere to the service to the drinks & food, this place deserves more than 5 stars.
My sister & I were in town from Detroit to celebrate our birthday in Chicago for the weekend. We chose Demera as our dinner spot following a recommendation by someone in our party. We were scheduled for 6pm but called to switch the time to 8pm, as it worked best with plans. The hostess over the phone took care of it with no issues. Once we arrived, we were greeted warmly by the host, and those present were seated quickly.
The atmosphere was convivial, homey, and intimate - perfect for gatherings of friends and family. The decor was beautiful, and the smells that flowed through the air were reminiscent of my own family gatherings. Once everyone in my party arrived, we ordered the Demera Messob, Sambussas, and a few drinks. It didn't take long for our food & drinks to be brought out (very pleased!). The Espresso Martini was divine, and the Sangria was fresh and delicious. The Sambussas were absolutely delicious, and the breading was wonderful. The Demera Messob was perfect for our party of 6. Everything was full of flavor, and each combination we tried was superb. There was so much food that we actually could not finish it all, sadly, but we ate as much as our stomachs could take. At the end of dinner, my sister & I were given delicious treats to celebrate with.
I would recommend this restaurant to anyone, especially those from out of town. Those willing to try something new will almost certainly find something to enjoy at Demera. Thank you to the staff who made this a pleasant dining experience. This was a highlight of our birthday weekend, and we couldn't have been happier.
Very busy yet lovely atmosphere for this bustling alive ethnic restaurant with a mixed pleasant crowd and polite and efficient service. We waited 40 minutes without reservations at peak Saturday night time yet it was an enjoyable sit. The food was fresh and delicious and timely. They had 9 vegan options and various other specialties. We choose the mixed vegan sampler for 2 at 48 dollars. The coffee is tasty and served traditionally as shown. The tea was also great. Overall great experience.
Arrive on time, there is only a 15 min grace period or your reservation will be given up to someone else. The hosts were kind enough to sit late parties but arrive with your party on time. When seated you will be greeted by a kind and friendly server and the manager might make a visit to your table to learn about your dining experience. If it's your first time, go with the sample platter. You can do mild and spicy. The cocktails are delicious and the food is flavourful and tastes fresh and absolutely yummy. This place is a gem and I recommend making a reservation. Try everything and come back for more. You will want to bring friends and show them a good time.
I’ve never had Ethiopian food before and I really liked it. We especially liked the Sambussas. My kids lived them. And I got some cubed beef in an anchila sauce. Yum.
Had a great experience trying Ethiopian food. Place was fully packed would recommend reservations prior. Food was great and loved the Ethiopian bread. We tried sambossa platter, shiro and wot everything tasted great and healthy. Service was good and very quick. Would recommend
Beautiful place for alfresco dining due to a natural green canopy. The food was delicious. Skip the appetizer (waitstaff will recommend) because the portions on the platters are very generous. We had 4 people in our party and couldn’t finish it because we got an appetizer. The only disappointing dish on our platter were the collard greens, which are usually one of my favorite when dining at other Ethiopian restaurants. The Ethiopian coffee is a great treat. Definitely recommend!!
Everything was on point here. It was all very good. From the food to the servers, I can say nothing bad. I went here with some friends. We ordered a platter with various items that is suited for 4. It did not disappoint. We all loved it. Oh, I'm not big on dessert but that slice of cake in the photos is delicious.
The food was absolutely phenomenal! This is by far some of the best food my husband and I have ever had in a restaurant. The staff were extremely helpful and service was prompt. If we lived in the area, we would eat here all the time! Highly highly recommend this restaurant and my husband and I look forward to exploring more African cousine after this wonderful experience.
Everyone enjoyed the food! 10/10. The service was amazing as well. Missed our reservation, but we were seated immediately we walked in. Definitely going back. Did i mention the complimentary slice of birthday cake, which was PHENOMENAL????? Couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate my husband's birthday with friends.
