A beautiful authentic experience of Ethiopian cuisine and culture. The food is amazing! Yamila is welcoming and goes the extra mile to make you feel at home.
Be ready to eat with your hands (no cutlery) and open up to a whole new world.

This place is absolutely fantastic. The service is so kind. If you love Ethiopian food, you will not be disappointed. The serving sizes are big, if you see a big price, that's because you will be feeding alot of people. Ask about serving sizes of you aren't sure, the staff are happy to talk to you. When we came here with our family it was my first restaurant experience out of the hospital and it was so warm and inviting.
If you love meat usually and are disappointed by the amount of veggies on the menu, trust me, these veggies pack so much flavor you will not be missing the meat and this is coming

The decor was inviting and service by Jemila was very friendly. Every bite was delicious! We loved using the injera to scoop up food with our fingers; it's a great bonding experience. So much work and care goes into the preparation of their Ethopian food. Coffee was serve postmeal with a burning incense and was a perfect end to our meal.
P.S. Bete is a peanut free restaurant and the injera has no gluten. Washrooms are downstairs and not accessible for people using mobility devices.

It was my first time trying Ethiopian food and it was a great experience! A very quaint place, seeming run by 1-2 employees. Service was quick and our waitress was kind.
The coffee was very decadent and rich. We found out that they roast and grind the beans in-house!
I would definitely come by again and support this local gem :)

Ordered some food to take away. Food was tasty and I did not get sick. Took away two stars because the place was grungy - from the door handle to the door frame to the counter where you picked up the food and paid for it. Took away one star for how the food was packed - Njera and rest of the dish all packed in one aluminum container, rather than keeping it separate, making the Njera all soaked.

Tried this place because reviews were good. We were not disappointed! Server was the owner and what a lovely lady. We ordered some beef, lamb and veggie dishes. We cleaned up! It was so tasty. I will definitely come here again! I highly recommended this restaurant. Must try.

I just moved downtown and after a morning of unpacking I was starving - so I decided to treat myself to lunch. Turns out Bete Africa wasn't far away, and I love Ethiopian food, so easy choice.

Late lunch time on a Thursday was super quiet, I was the only one in the restaurant till nearly the end of my meal, but they were open and super friendly. I ordered the shiro wot with beef, which came with some of the best injera I have ever had. Thick and spongy and unbelievably fresh - wow. I complimented it and was told they make it fresh on site, which I can definitely believe.

The shiro wot was

Delicious food, friendly service and fresh roasted-at-your-table coffee. I will go back!
(Please note that this restaurant is not wheelchair accessible. There is one step up at the front door into a narrow entrance. The bathroom is down a flight of stairs.)
