This is such a lovely establishment and the workers here are just as lovely and informative. This was my first time trying Ethiopian food and I was not let down with a happy belly. Everything felt so authentic and was rich in flavors. If you don’t know what to try then please ask the staff, they wil
Great food. Very flavorful. We had the veggie meat shareable for 2, with spiced beef, mild chicken, yellow split peas, spiced ground peas and Lima beans.
I thought this place was amazing from start to finish. The only thing I'd want more about this restaurant is more sides and more sauces. It's lacking in those. Other than that, I love the culture, ambiance, food and take on authenticity. I ordered chicken off the bone platter. The meat was very tend
My Hubby had the spicy lentils with half rice and half injera. I had the meat and veggie combo with spicy chicken and mild chickpea sauce. The meals are served with salad and cabbage with collard greens and injera. The injera is fermented so it does have a sour flavor and it's quite spongey. The cus
They're busy on a Friday night, and rightfully so! Staff was friendly, ambiance is nice, but the food was great! I had the spicy chicken breast stew, and it had a great kick to it... It's ok to eat with your hands. ;) Definitely coming back. :)
Amazing vegan food! All 8 items on their vegetarian dinner menu are confirmed vegan by the staff. So tasty! We bought takeout for later after our meal because it was so good. I’ve been coming here for 20 years.
My only wish is that their hand soap was fragrance free because the fragrance left on y

Visited here for first time today.
This place was recommended to me by 3 people in my food circles. We came here for a quick lunch visit.
I had the spicy ground beef and peas, spicy beef stew, spicy chicken stew (drumstick), spicy ground peas, rice, and injera.

Altu’s Ethiopian cuisine is by far one of the best hidden gems of Lansing. We have only been here twice, but both times were absolutely incredible. The waiters are so nice and caring, they were very attentive and helpful. The atmosphere is very comfortable and welcoming and very clean! The food is t
This time we chose take out. We ordered inside though, great help while we placed our order. Food was prepared in less time than we were told and it smelled great on our drive home. We live and hour away and make the drive just to eat this food. It is wonderful.
I've never had Ethiopian food before, but my husband rants and raves about it all the time. So last weekend when we were in Lansing, we decided to try it. For those who are unfamiliar like I was, they really don't use utensils. You can request them if you really want to, but I recommend diving in
First time having Ethiopian. Asked the waiter for recommendations and followed them. Food was phenomenal, not a flavor profile I’m used to. Not from here, but this place has motivated me to find Ethiopian places in my city. Eating with just the Injera bread and no utensils was enjoyable. The Sambusa
This is some of the best food I've had, period. The flavors are all wonderful and you can get such a variety of them. My partner and I are starting to go here once a week since our first visit.
Best restaurant in the area that has vegetarian options (as well as meat)! Unique food that you won’t find anywhere else around here, unless you head towards Detroit or Ann Arbor. I always get the vegetarian options. The vegetarian dinner combo is around $14 and you get to choose 4 options from the
Have never tried Ethiopian food, but there's a first for everything! Well worth it if you're an adventurous eater, and even if you aren't. I always love a restaurant with a bigger vegetarian menu than not, and this place didn't disappoint. I highly recommend doing half rice and half bread, because t
It’s always nice to inspire your taste buds with new flavors. At Altu’s I was able to do just that. Ethiopian food is usually hard to come by. But, when you do find a place, like Altu’s (name of the owner) it will really hit the spot with robust flavors and spiciness. I met a friend here and we deci
Service and food is fantastic, with a warm and inviting atmosphere. We had a black tea spiced with cinnamon and clove that was perfectly balanced. Dinner was their cubed chicken breast stew with spicy sauce, along with bread, and collard greens as a side. The jazz music is fine, relaxed with an exot
The last time I had Ethiopian food was 2 years ago at a place in D.C. and I fell in love with the flavors and experience. Today, I made the split decision to order take-out from Altu's and it was possibly the best lunch I have had in years. I'm a foodie but I most often cook for myself, so I do not
