We had a party of seven of all ages including one toddler, celebrating my birthday. We knew little about Ethiopian food and our table was a bit chaotic. Our server was fantastic. He was very gracious and so enthusiastic about giving us a great experience at Erta Ale. We ordered Sambusa to start and then shared family-style the Erta Ale Special along with one additional Kitfo entree and one kid's meal. The Erta Ale Special provided everyone a great introduction to many of the menu's offerings. We enjoyed all of it and there was still plenty to take home. The meal ended with a complimentary piece of Tiramisu, a lit candle on a tall candlestick, and Happy Birthday played over the sound system. A wonderful dining experience and birthday celebration.

Erta Ale Ethiopian Restaurant was amazing. The service was great. They took the time to make sure we understood the spice level and what was in each dish. The food was even better. Perfect level of spice. The amount of food for the price also was great. We both took home left overs. I highly recommend it.

Great food! The best Ethiopian that I've had in the Twin Cities. And a spectacular deal. The service was very good and the server was extremely friendly, helpful, and the food was timely. My only complaint is that we had to wait quite a bit to be helped. The help was very good but just wanted to comment on timeliness.

Food was great. Staff was great. Music was a little loud, though. Overall, it’s a great place.

Everything was great except for the music. Weirdly unemotional covers of random hits from all the 70’s on. Play Ethiopian music!
