This little restaurant in the heart of Neukölln had been on my want-to-go list for a while but didn’t really live up to my expectations. Despite an early reservation we had a really crumpled back-to-back table and there were quite a lot of people considering COVID. They do have nice seating outside but not really for me in a rainy autumn night. The menu has both meat and veggie/vegan options but it’s quite confusing to navigate. Thankfully the staff is happy to help. The antipasti was ok, I love lentils, but I somehow expected it to be crunchy and the sauce that came with it wasn’t great. The food platters for two look very beautiful, but if you’d don’t feel mixing up meat and veggies they serve a single portion that doesn’t do it justice. My veggie combination included different lentils, salad and pickled red beets. Ok but nothing special. The chicken beef option looked good but I cannot vouch for the taste. All in all I think I’ve been at better Ethiopian places in Berlin.

I recently dined at the restaurant, and the overall experience was average. The food was decent, but it didn't leave a lasting impression. Unfortunately, the portions were not substantial for two people and it felt like we received more bread than actual food. This left me feeling a bit unsatisfied with the overall meal. Another disappointing aspect was the restaurant's payment policy. They did not accept card payments, which was inconvenient for me as I prefer using cards for transactions. Additionally, I found the staff to be somewhat rude, which added to the overall underwhelming experience. While I believe it's worth giving this restaurant a try once to experience Ethiopian cuisine in shillerkitz, I can't say that I was thoroughly impressed. There are certainly areas where they can improve, definitely.

The food was tasty and I like the spiciness of the sauce. The service on the other hand is questionable. We weren’t informed that there was a limited time that we could enjoy our dinner. The bill was given to us right after the staff cleared our plates and we were not even half way through our drinks that we just ordered. The waitress just said that there were people waiting outside and she needed us to give up the table. I understand that the restaurant is small and they try to accommodate everyone but this is not the way to do it! You’re going to lose customers because of your greediness of trying to get people in and out as fast as possible. I don’t know if I would return. The food was good but does it worth being treated badly?

The food was great. There's absolutely nothing to complain about it. Also, the interior was beautiful. However, the service was awful. We had a reservation for two persons, and there were other guests who arrived approx around the same time. However, one of the staff members came twice to our table. She asked whether we were done, which wasn't obviously the case. The second time, she requested us to pay and leave because guests were waiting. It was just our table to which she came. This was my second time at Lalibela. After this disappointing experience, I assume it was my last time there. It was very disrespectful. If you don't have that much space, you probably shouldn't offer that many slots to book a reservation online.

I passed by this restaurant quite a few times watching all the giant dishes the customers being served, they looked really good. I finally had the chance to finally try it and I had really high expectations for this place. The restaurant is very small on the inside, but the interior is cute and the waitress was friendly. I ordered the mixed beef/chicken plate, it wasn't very cheap. The plate size I got was disappointing, a thick tomato sauce with some beef bits which was tasty, and just one chicken drumstick and an egg. I was still hungry after I finished and was expecting something else. I don't believe I will be coming back, but I don't regret it
