I love African food especially Ethiopian food w Injera. This time I came here Sat night. Store name is "SeaTac Cuisine" or " East African foods restaurant " in SeaTac. This restaurant is near the Pancake Chef. The shop is small and the sign is hard to see it but It is located in the row of shops under the Pancake chef. The store is spacious with tables and chairs. My hubby and I went to the counter and ordered the Ethiopian Combination Dish. This menu has full size and half size, and the price is not so different, so I chose the full size and we decided to share it. They brought us a warm sweet ginger tea and two bottles of water while the waiting food. We love this ginger tea. There are only African customers in the store and Muslim people are praying near the place to wash hands. I washed my hands quietly without disturbing them. The staff at the shop are very kind, smiling and good service. Ethiopian combination dish is a homemade teff bread, chicken stew, lentils, spices chiles, lettuce and mix veggies. You can choose meat (chicken, beef, lamb) We ate injera, meat and mix veggies together, chicken was tender, spiced and delicious. We couldn't eat it all and took it home. It was even better the next day when I warmed it up in the microwave and ate it. I want to come to eat...
Read moreI’ve eaten a lot of Ethiopian food, and there’s no shortage of good Ethiopian in Seattle. East African might be some of the best. Although the variety in the combination platter isn’t the biggest (you’ll get a salad, lentils, greens, and your protein of choice), all the food is amazing. The chicken is spicy, the lamb is falling off the bone tender, the lentils are rich, the greens are deep and earthy, and the salad is refreshing and has a nice creamy dressing. The injera is perfectly cooked, just the right amount of sourness and the perfect thickness. Be prepared to be the only non-Ethiopian in the restaurant; most people there are Ethiopian cab drivers and workers at SeaTac. The service is fantastic: I received both tea and water complimentary, and when I asked for extra injera it came quickly and without a charge. For four people to split two combination plates it was $42, which can’t be beat. The bill didn’t even have a line for a tip, which I felt bad about, so I asked to leave an extra tip. This place is the real deal: anything you get here is bound to be good. Next time I’m hungry and have some time to kill near SeaTac, I’m coming and trying one of the sandwiches here too (they seem popular among...
Read moreA great place for injera, Muslim-owned with halal food! Must try!
This place is unmarked like what others have said. It is right next to the grocery store on the corner. There's plenty of parking most times but there is construction going on so you might find a lot of the parking taken by construction workers.
We already knew what we wanted when we came in. I asked for injera and showed them a photo from their Google listing. I've seen some people say there's no menu, but there are photos of the menu posted so you just have to ask.
After we ordered, the wait was not long. I also got a tea with milk. Everything was delicious. The beef suqaar is a bit spicy but it was just the right amount of spice for me. You might want to ask them to add less if you can't handle heat.
Definitely coming back to try the other dishes. I can tell they take pride in their dishes in the quality...
