Ethiopian Love (african) - Honolulu

Great food if you're looking for something whole and family. Eat with your hands! It's always fun. The bread is like sourdough.

Ok so this was… good. I really like trying food from different places, and I love African, so I decided to go here. First off the service was weird. Not good, not bad. Just weird. We were the only people in the restaurant but he was paying very little attention to us. The food was very different, but still tasty. The menu isn’t organized good. You can order individual items, or a huge platter. This ended up costing a lot. It also took a long time to come out. The atmosphere was nice, and along with the food, we had a good experience. It’s also good because all their stuff is vegan. They are lucky I like posting high reviews bc i know they are trying :

This was my first time eating Ethiopian food. I didn 't know what to expect and I enjoy trying new ethnic foods. First of all the initial entrance and dinning area seemed a bit small however we were introduced to the outside area and it was beautiful. The greenery and water features were beautiful. Thumbs up all the way. We started off with the appetizers. And it didn 't disappoint. The sambusas were golden brown and delicious. 2 pieces for $7.50. The food here is indeed pricey and the food is served family style. Prices for food range from 19 to 25 dollars. The flavors were unique and unfamiliar though several of the dishes surprised my with it 's flavors. The Ethiopian style iced tea packed a punch so to speak. Kind a like punkin pie drink.

I've never had African food before. Everything tasted great! We had spicy lamb and the Ethiopian Love Sampler. I Love the experience eating without utensils, the bread was perfect. Only prices were more than expected, small kine sticka shock, Africkn dent in our budget.

Small, simple place, better than expected food. A bit of a mom and pop feel, probably seats 30 people. Fairly short menu but something for everyone. I had beef tibs and it was some of the best I’ve had. Good portions, reasonable prices. Service was pretty good. Would return.
