What User likes about Habesha:
I was alone but overdid it with a platter for two. Everything was super, and I finished the whole thing. Strangely I was the only diner but I thoroughly enjoyed the quiet meal. The stews were perfect and very satisfying. Service was quick and the food came hot. As good as ever and I'll be back soon View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Habesha:
After reading all of the glowing reviews I expected a superior experience. It was not. Yes it was authentic and The food is good, but not close to being spiced the way one would expect. The beef and lamb were both tender but in identical sauces spiced mildly. The lentils were delicious. Service is very slow so give yourself lots of time. View all feedback.

Fantastic meal, with great staff. A unique and interesting experience, the Meade wine is a very nice complement to the meal.
