    5+++++++ Injera & Beyond blew me away...OMG!!! This was of…read morethe best 2026 dining experiences!!! Injera is great place to experience authentic Ethiopian cuisine. When you walk into the restaurant you are met with this warm and welcoming spirit. You literally feel like you are transported to a tropical rain forest - so much greenery and blossomed laden tree. Zuni, my server, led me to a table with a window view. Initially, she recommended the traditional Ethiopian meal (Doro Wot - National food of Ethiopia - slow cooked chicken leg stew with onions, berber, spices and clarified butter and boiled egg.) I thought that sounded good. The owner Mahelet greeted me so sweetly and warmly to welcomed me to the restaurant (she had greeting like an aunt or grandmother). She recommended a sampler plate of lamb (one of my favs), chicken and beef (not a huge beef eater). This meal reminded me of Nigerian meals where you eat with your hands. Injera means bread. However, don't think of traditional sourdough or wheat bread. Injera has a unique texture - how to describe it - it's very porous with a spongy feel, soft with mellow taste (super unique.) It was served as a plate charger with stews placed on top of it and a side order of injera was also served. I absolutely loved it!!! It was like nothing I have ever eaten before. For those that may not know, Injera is traditionally made from teff flour, an ancient, naturally gluten‑free grain native to Ethiopia (contains probiotics), mixed with water and fermented for several days. This fermentation gives injera its flavor and airy texture. Mahelet said the "Beyond" in their restaurant's name stood for unity, togetherness and beyond the bread. Did you know chicken was the national meat of Ethiopia? I did not either until today. All the meats were tender, which is kind of unusual since beef can me on the rubbery side sometimes. All the meats were fork cutting tender. The food was the standout. The stewed meats were served family-style on traditional injera, the spongy, tangy flatbread. The flavors were rich and well-spiced. The stews were hearty, aromatic, and appeared to be made with love. Portions are generous, enough for 2+ people, making it easy to share and sample a variety of dishes at one time. Excellent food...great learnings...new dining experiences!!!

    I went to Taste of Ethiopia on a Friday and was honestly surprised it wasn't busy at all. I got…read moreseated right away, which was a great start. We started with the sambusas, one beef and one spinach, and both were really good. They came with this tomato sauce that tied everything together perfectly and added a nice extra flavor. For the main, we got the lamb tibbs and the doro wot, and both dishes were packed with flavor. The lamb was super tender, and the chicken in the doro wot was just as tender and flavorful. The sauce with the doro wot stood out, especially with the injera, which was fresh and really tasty. Overall, it was a great meal with amazing service, and I'd definitely come back.

The Sambusa was like a egg roll but lighter and crunchier. It was loaded with ingredients...quite substantial. Really enjoyed this appetizer... A Taste of Ethiopia has a buffet Wed-Fri, which would be an opportunity to experiment with many more dishes. I have made a note to come back during one of their buffets. Winney one of the owners was nice and cordial. The restaurant was quite busy. There was a steady flow of customers. You could hear a low hum from the conversations taking place. It appears to be a neighborhood favorite.

    I've been to ATX Food twice now, which usually doesn't happen before I post a review, but I kept…read morethinking about it and wanted to go back. This trailer is just in front of the Trek bike shop on South Lamar, not out on the street, so it took me a second to find it. It's a great little setup with big covered picnic tables and plenty of space to hang out. Trek also lets you use their bathroom, which is actually really convenient, just head inside and all the way to the back. The food here feels genuinely nourishing. It's vegan and very vegetable forward in a way that doesn't feel preachy, just fresh and intentional. The tacos are especially unique. The tortillas are made from spelt and garbanzo flour, and they remind me a bit of the tangy, pancake-like bread you get with Ethiopian food. It gives the tacos this unexpected flavor and texture that works surprisingly well. The toppings tasted fresh every time, and the tempeh has a smoky flavor, so if you're into that, you'll be happy. I didn't realize at first how customizable the menu is, but you can add all kinds of toppings and extras. They also do full coffee service plus a big smoothie lineup. The smoothies come with sea moss, which I wasn't familiar with before, but they're clearly big believers in it as a nutritional boost. Service was friendly both times. Once they even brought my food out to me! Either way, they were kind and attentive. You can also ask for water even though they don't have self-serve jugs out. If you're looking for food that tastes good and actually leaves you feeling lighter and energized afterward, this spot is worth it. I'm glad I went back a second time.
