The 2 lady employees informed us their kitchen was closed and turned to my daughter and said we can't get carry out. Because I am thinking maybe I heard them wrong. But no we couldn't. While we were sitting in the car deciding where we were going next 1 of the employees came outside to the car and said we can get carry out. I politely said no thank you. Apparently some restaurants are doing good business turning away customers while they're still open. I wouldn't go back not even for carry out. F+++

Amazing amazing amazing!…read more This might have been the best Ethiopian food that I have tried. The dishes were rich in flavor and filling. My favorite might have been the green beans and carrots. The chicken curry was a close second. They have good portions and good deals for what you're looking for. The prices aren't too expensive either. The waitress was very helpful in making selections as well. I definitely think everyone should give them a try. It's a wonderful experience. PS, get the raw juice (sweet thing).

The prices are extremely reasonable. The deluxe combo platter came with soup and a drink, and everything was delicious. The spiced tea was warm, comforting, and full of flavor. If you're looking for authentic food, a welcoming environment, and great value, Little Africa is absolutely worth a visit. We'll definitely be back, and next time we're bringing more people with us!

And yes they do accept cards (no longer cash only). the owner (i'm assuming) was sweet and attentive. we can't wait to head back to little africa soon.

We were greeted by a lovely woman who seemed to be running the restaurant solo. This did not stop her, she got our order in, brought tea and coffee, and then our entree in a standard amount of time. The tea was wonderful and hot on a cold February night. My brother and I shared (and for $28 we could not finish it) a sampler. For those not familiar, wash your hands, and use in injera (a thin, spongy bread) to scoop and eat. Every item was warm and flavorful with spices, we were very full by the end. My brother had never had Ethiopian before and he loved it as well. This is a restaurant to check out in Grand Rapids.

This family-owned and operated restaurant has been serving up Ethiopian delicacies for more than 40 years- ideal for vegans and meat lovers alike.

Awesome for vegetarians, since the main platter of all-you-can-eat dishes is fully vegetarian. You can add meat dishes on an a la carte basis, but I have never felt the need. I always have to make sure not to eat any other bigger meals earlier in the day before coming here, because I want to be able to enjoy multiple rounds of food if possible! :) It's also so fun to step into the full experience of eating with your hands. Sometimes the service can be slow. But I have always found the staff to be very kind and courteous. So, if you're in the mindset of having a relaxed dinner experience, then you'll have a great time! The vibes are calm and there's usually relaxing music playing. Side note: they have gift certificates as well!
