We dropped in for dinner craving some Ethiopian food, and what we got was so much more than we expected. The place was cozy and welcoming, the chef came out and greeted us. The food was spectacular! I would recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy some genuinely delicious food.
Great place, great food, great ambiance, great service. The owner Aaron really cooks up some authentic Ethiopian food.
Industry Cafe & Jazz is one of my favorite places in LA!!! I could not recommend it enough.
If you come here expect to eat wonderful Ethiopian food, chat with a super friendly and generous owner, and enjoy live music. My wife and I always take people here when they visit and recommend it to everyone looking for a fun dinner experience. You'll find yourself coming here again and again.
Small piece of paradise in Culver City. Came on a Saturday night by myself and was warmly greeted by the owner, live music playing and an assortment of groups and couples, families with pets included. A simple and well priced place without frills and yet delivering thrills. I had a beer on a bench right by the band and couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Overall:
Everyone should visit Industry Cafe & Jazz. The restaurant has a uniquely local vibe where one can unwind and listen to live jazz music. There are not too many places like this and this is a must when your around Culver City.
The Food:
The food was phenomenal. The spices, aroma, and warm nostalgic feeling of home cooking make this place a hidden gem. From all the dishes, my ultimate favorite was the Doro Wat. This chicken drumsticks felt like an elevated version of holiday food. The only down side it only one drumstick, but you can order another drumstick for 5 dollars. I could eat a whole chicken with that stewy aromatic sauce. You won't regret ordering this dish. The lentils were also delicious. They were creamy, warm, had a little kick to them.
The Vibe:
I also enjoy when I get to meet and chat with the owner of the restaurant. At Industry, the owner and cook greeted us and gave us a little history of his restaurant and the talented musicians. The service was exceptional and I could tell everyone loved and appreciated jazz.
It was chill, looks like they're remodeling but they have cool people working there, my current jazz band Monaco and I @dead_rez had our 2nd ever performance there outside of the restaurant, it was chill jamming the tunes outside to the customers. It also happened to be someone's bday to which our awesome piano player Evan played a Happy Birthday tune for them. The cars kind of freaked me out every time they passed by though but we all lived ha! The food was tastey, definitely different from what I've eaten before ✌🏼🎶🎸🎙
Excellent service, yummy tasty dessert and coffee, awesome live band and singers. The owner came around several times to check on us to make sure we were good which was a super super nice touch to the whole experience. I'm from Phoenix Arizona but when I come back I'm definitely coming back to try their food and they will be open for breakfast I definitely want to try that as well.
We've been here several times for both take-out and dine-in. The staff is friendly and the outdoors dining area is welcoming. They have live jazz music as well which adds to the relaxing experience. The food is amazing and the portions are family sized. The vegetarian platter is our favorite to get and it easily serves 2, or 3 if you add an appetizer or additional side.
This spot is a vibe. Aron (the owner) and his wife are amazing people, and not only is the food amazing, but this place is a hub of service to the local community. They have live music and spoken word nights and they showcase a lot of local artists as well.
Also Eritrean beer is mad good lol
Love this spot.
The food is great, the live music is amazing, the whole atmosphere is just awesome and relaxing. The jazz adds more flavor to your dining experience. The owner is so friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend it if you're in the area
