Yordanos Ethiopian Restaurant — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Wow wow wow. So my friend and I wanted to go on a food adventure and we chose this amazing place. The first thing that you take in is the atmosphere... peaceful, calming and inviting. Not knowing anything about Ethiopian food, I was wide-eyed and ready for anything. It was far too difficult to pick anything to order with no clue as to what things might be to our taste. So we went with the Mahberawi, an amazing platter with six different items, two very spicy dishes, and 4 other flavorful dishes. Along with the platter came a bowl of what looked to be a thin bread but more spongy. I was familiar wnough with ethiopian food from a prior visit that one takes a piece of the injera and scoops up a mouthful portion and enjoy.

... is tomato, spices with onions and ground beef with a tanky flavor. It was very mild and quite tasty.

.... is a bit like carne asada mixed with onion and seasoning which was very satisfying.

... omg the beef with collard greens was amazing. Flavorful and mildly seasoned paired well with the bread.

Yebeg Alicha... the bread, injera, was soaked with beef and seasoning with a tangy flavir.

Kitfo ... was ground steak tartar which will make you spice lovers extremely happy.

... an even spicier chicken and vegetable dish with hard boiled egg.

This dish was a wonderful way to sample such an awesome variety of foods and flavors. If you have never eaten Ethiopian food, this is a wonderful place to wet your tastebuds.

The best part is that I can't wait to come back and try the vegetarian tray!! ...

As habesha I really don't want to write some bad experience here,but i really don't know or understand why they disrespectful us and my comment might help for some people like us. I visited almost all ethiopian restaurant in Los Angeles and their food is very nice and the people there is beautiful,respectful,friendly like it is or our culture. It was our first visit to have dinner in yordanos restaurant, but i have never ever seen like this nasty, and disrespectful restaurant. when we enter to the restaurant no one takecare of us to sit. Then we went to the kitchen window one lady came she ask us if we want sit. Then we sat. Long wait to get menu. Long wait to take the order. After that, we were waiting our order, but it was so late. I don't know why and the lady didn't even come back to tell as why the food was late. She didn't even offer us gluss of water and napkin. After long wait she throw us the food and never come back. The food was good and we want add Engera, but no one gave us . We stopped eating our food. We want to pay for our order no one take it . Finally, I ask for help and they call the same lady. I paid our order and we went...

Disappointed! We were looking forward to coming back here. Food was fine, that was not the main problem. However, the honey wine tasted nothing like honey, but, rather like apple cider vinegar. I’ve had honey wine many times, even from this place some months back. We brought this to the attention of the waitress and she just laughed it off. Then, I literally heard her tell the guy at the counter (maybe a boss) that we said it tasted like vinegar. She proceeded to ask him if she should charge it (wasn’t talking low enough). He apparently said yes because it was on the tab. Mind you, we didn’t drink them, the glasses were still full! We paid, and left. But will NEVER return. I don’t even want to know what happens behind the scenes. Its giving five-second-rule vibes in the kitchen. Treat your customers with respect and they will be loyal customers for life. That was so rude. They should’ve tasted the wine themselves, to see how disgusting it was. A customer should not have to ask for it to be taken off the tab. We’ll continue to take the...
