Off the beaten paths of the Park & Highland, this little place is not to be missed!
Quick attention was paid when we let staff know that broken glass was on the walk outside...it was gone before we were even ready to place our order!
My husband raved about the tenderness of the goat meat, hanid, served with vegetables and Basmati rice. I had tibs with cabbage and lentils - incredible heat that sneaks up and stays!
We’ll be back for more soon!

I was a little hesitant as I pulled up tot he restaurant. The a bit off the beaten track and not in the best of neighborhoods. I used to eating at the normal Beale street joints so this was an adventure for me. It was not disappointing. The charming lady who took my order suggested a dish for me. It was the first item on

This is a great spot for a cozy Sunday breakfast. Ethiopian breakfast dishes are amazing and the food at Derae is all home cooked and so flavorful. The fuul is delicious, a breakfast dish made with beans and served with warm baked bread. The hot tea is spiced and sweet. You can’t beat the quality or price at any other breakfast spot in town. Service is attentive and friendly.

Amazing Ethiopian food. The staff was extremely friendly and personable. Some of the most tender goat I've ever had.

Always friendly and the food is amazing. It's my favorite Ethiopian restaurant. They have changed their online order options; some items are no longer available after a certain time now.

I live around the corner from this place and love smelling it's aromas on the weekends. I've only tried the samosas (sambusa), and they are AMAZING. I think they're $1 each, and come in a couple different flavours (potato or beef) The owner is very friendly and always wants to please. Highly recommend!

I don't understand how it got anything other than a 4 or 5/5. It's clean (even the bathrooms) friendly hard working owner who is the waiter. He will make recommendations based on what you're looking for if you ask him to. Clean meat, he will take out bones from dishes if you ask him to (basically they try to make it so that you have a positive experience) we went to order 1 dish, ended up getting 3 because it was so good (ps it's zabiha meat, the expensive kind, but the prices aren't bad considering the large amount of quantity you get)

The food was flavorful. I had the veggie combination. Wish they had more varieties of vegetables on the platter. All in all the experience and food was awesome. I will definitely come back.

Very delicious food. Not sure what to expect going into it, since I have never had Ethiopian food. It was a great variety of vegetables and meat. Most everything is around $12 for an entree. Small, quaint place. Very kind staff. It defines a hole-in-the-wall style place. Very clean clean too. A definite try if you are looking for a mix up in your normal routine of places to eat. Great if you love spices and if you do not. They will turn down the heat (flavor) if you ask. Again, fantastic. 5/5 on food for sure.

Owner was super nice and the food was on point. The atmosphere is not the best but who's eating off the floor anyways. Would go again 👍
