Delish Ethiopian was great. The food was super good, the service was attentive, and everyone there seemed genuinely nice. We ordered the Delish Special, and it was the perfect amount of food for two adults and two kids -- good portions and a great way to try a little bit of everything. We'll definitely be back! read more

Delish is exactly that, Delicious! This was a delivery order so I didn't get to experience the ambiance of the restaurant or customer service but the food was great and makes me want to dine in! I got the veggie combo to be able to taste all their veggie dishes! And it was a perfect variety. They were all tasty. My top three favorites were the Miser Wat, Ater Alicha Wot, and Shiro Wat! Also the best injera I've ever had. The flavor was well balanced and the texture was perfect! read more

Delish has the best food I've ever had. The combo platter for two is exceptional and includes a variety of dishes that the restaurant offers. All the food is prepared fresh. Additionally, the coffee is of the highest quality. The service is excellent and everyone is very polite. The cafe interior is charming and while the seating is limited, there's bar seating for walk-ins. read more

It was my first time trying Ethiopian cusine and loved my experience at Delish. The person who helped us was very sweet and helped us understand the menu better too. They have enough seating but the place can get busy, so plan accordingly. We tried the Vegetarian platter and oh, it was so yumm. Absolutely loved it. The ambiance is great too.

We did a quick fly-by with the kids for an early dinner on a Sunday. We're no strangers to Ethiopian cuisine but haven't had it for a long time up here in the PNW. Service was top notch, first class. And wonderful, beautiful smiles all around. Such a great vibe and layout. Wish this was available closer to home in the Eastside! read more

Stopped by for dinner with friends on a Friday night. The place wasnt busy and we had a reservation so we were seated and greeted. We ordered their veggie combo and doro wot. This portion was plenty for 2 ppl but it was expensive. We also tried the ethiopian beer which was nice. Service was great. Ambience not so much but food was nice but nothing out of the world. I really liked their doro wot but the rest of the veggie combo was good food but nothing amazing for me. I did feel the place was expensive though. A good place to try Ethiopian food if in the area. read more

Second Visit (8/17/25) We drove up from Portland specifically for dinner after an exceptional first visit back in March during our conference. We were craving the Assa Dullet, and the food was every bit as delicious as we remembered, absolutely worth the trip. Unfortunately, the service this time was a letdown. We had a 4pm reservation for three under Nikky Barr. On arrival, I was told twice there was no RSVP under my name. Only after I insisted and pulled up my confirmation did the staff acknowledge they found it, for 8/17, the correct date. This interaction felt unnecessary and off-putting, especially after a long drive. The Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony also disappointed. The staff approached us from behind without warning, carrying a skillet that was smoking with freshly roasted beans, and said nothing until we asked. Throughout dinner, we were rushed through the coffee instead of being invited to savor it. It felt unwelcoming, and neither staff member ever introduced themselves. The receipt showed "Amy" as cashier. Since Amy is the owner and also the head chef, we know for certain we did not interact with her during this visit. By contrast, our March server was warm, attentive, and truly elevated our experience. Service makes or breaks a meal, and I hope the front-of-house staff here get support on how to create the same welcoming environment consistently. The food remains fantastic, but the service on 8/17 left us disappointed and wishing it had matched the kitchen's excellence. read more

First of all, if I could give 10 stars I would... just wow! This is the cutest little restaurant, so clean and authentic deco, and the kindest people! It is family run and purely authentic cuisine. We got the Veggie rolls to start (omg so good) and then shared the Delish Combo which was heaven on earth. The best 2 items to share with a guest, or two. Bill for 2 of us (and we were STUFFED) and couldn't eat it all, was $65. Loads of food, flavor and the kindest service you can find. Small place, go before 6pm or make reservations. I wish we had one in Gig Harbor! Go - You will LOVE it!!! read more

Went with a group of six, definitely needed a reservation ahead of time as their seating options are limited. With six people we ordered veggie rolls and two delish combo platters and still had leftovers. The food was yummy with lots of different flavors. I would recommend coming here with a group larger than two people unless you prefer lots of leftovers! The service was a bit slower but the space is small and its easy to walk over and ask for something if you need it. Will definitely go again and I would love to try the coffee ceremony next! read more

LOVE Delish. Ethiopian is a staple food in Seattle and this is really one of the best places to dine at. Delish and his family were so stinkin sweet to us. His two daughters were kind and gave me and my friend big hugs. Delish's wife cooks everything to perfection and we really couldn't get enough. Our server was extremely attentive and matched our energy to a T! Making amazing food and cultivating a cozy atmosphere in the Columbia City / Seattle community is no easy feat. Can't wait to be back more often and try everything possible on the menu. read more

Although the place it's small but it's filled with Ethiopian culture and very cozy environment. The Delish Combo was delicious but the portion of veggies are definitely more than meat. I find the taste super delicious if you mix and match all the food in the combo. For meat lovers, I'd suggest to get a meat combo with an appetizer of the veggie rolls. There's 4 different type of veggies rolled in Injera. I don't know what the sauce they used but it's phenomenal. Because they're a small establishment, all of the tables were filled and we were put in a very small round table. Since table is small, we have 3 people so we don't have much room to put a lot of food. It's an area great for coffee tasting. Here's what I ordered 1) Delish Combo (veggie combo plus meat combo) ~~~Meat - kaye wot, alicha wot, kitfo, gomen, and Ethiopian cheese. ~~~Veggies - Miser, Shiro, Ater, Fasolia, Gomen, Cabbage, Key siir, Azefa, Sufe fitfit, Tomato Salad. 2) Veggie Rolls (6pcs) Mix of yemeser wot, kik alecha, shiro, gomen rolled in Injera. 3) Ethiopian Honey Wine read more

The Seattle area is super fortunate to have a wealth of Ethiopian cuisine available. Amongst them, Delish is a very well-regarded establishment. We arrived on a Sunday night 6:30pm; the charming, modest place was packed. Note to self: make a reservation! We scored a couple of seats at the bar, which in hindsight, is better seating. The normal tables are low-ish vs the seats, meaning we would be bending over to eat; our backs would have been angry with us at the end of the meal. The normal tables are also modest round shapes, which would make fitting two combo platters to be challenging. Note to self: request bar seating! Our wait staff was super friendly with a fantastic smile. We studied the menu, even though we knew we are ordering the combos. The Food: Delish Special Veggie Combo, $28.20 - 5 Stars Menu: Miser, shiro, ater, Fasolia, Gommen, Cabbage, key siir, Azefa, tomato salad I end up ordering the veggie combo at pretty much any Ethiopian restaurant. The seasonings are amazing, the variety is wonderful, and every item goes so well with the injera roll (spongy bread). The colors on the planter is so wonderful! The Delish version didn't disappoint, nor did I finish my food. I ordered extra injera rolls to bring home and eat with the leftovers. Enough for two meals. Yum! Meat Combo, $33.80 - 4.5 Stars Menu: Portion of kay wot, alicha wot, kitfo, gomen, tibs, and Ethiopian cheese With meats and cheeses instead of veggies, this is hubby's standard order. Again, wonderfully seasoned in a great variety. Full disclosure that he always complains about chewy bits here and there. I always remind him not every cut of meat is tenderloin. He also didn't finish and brought home a light meal size. read more

The meat combo was very delicious! I would come back to try the combo next time! The space is pretty small inside but cozy! The service was okay, the people in there weren't the kindest but weren't mean either! They just kinda stared at us the entire time because the restaurant was empty and was not very welcoming when we walked in . However I would still come back just for the food! :) read more

Heard about Delish in the neighborhood and always wanted to try Ethiopian food so we gave it a shot on Friday night for date night. The restaurant is located in Columbia city. Not a very large space but very intimate and homie / welcoming. The team here was so friendly / service was great (gentlemen checked up on our table often just to see how things were and if we needed anything). We had the Ethiopian beer and veggie combo to share plus a spicy chicken dish (Doro wat). The combo platter comes with a variety of items with lots of different flavors. The doro wat is spicy so if you like spicy give it a shot. All of this food came with a type of Ethiopian bread that you wrap the food in to eat. It was an experience for us - tried a new cuisine and enjoyed our evening. Not a large restaurant so would suggest making reservations. read more

I had such a lovely time at Delish Ethiopian Restaurant! We ordered the Delish Beef Combo and honestly, every bite was delicious. The injera was fresh and soft, and all the flavors were well-balanced. I prefer spicier food, so next time I'll definitely ask them to turn up the heat a bit! What made the experience even better was the customer service--our drinks were constantly refilled, they checked on us a few times to make sure everything was good, and brought extra injera without hesitation. Something I deeply appreciate is that even though the owner isn't Muslim, they still offer halal meat. As someone who observes halal, that means a lot--especially since there aren't many halal Ethiopian options around here. The space itself is warm and vibrant, with colorful decor and beautiful African artwork that really sets the vibe. read more

This was some of the best food that I have ever eaten in my life. We got their equivalent of the "everything platter for 2" and it was absolutely delicious. The ambiance was a 3, the service was a 3, and the food was a 12. After having dinner here, we considered going back for lunch the next day even though it was across town before we left because the food was so good. This was a top 3 food experience in my whole life, and I love to eat. Definitely the best Ethiopian food I have ever had. read more

I was impressed by this charming little restaurant. The ambiance is a bit older, cute and welcoming. The service was ok. Nothing too special. The Ethiopian cuisine here though is pretty good.

Tried to get a table at the last minute since our regular fave spot was closed. Couldn't get a reservation so we ordered takeout instead. They had the food ready pretty much at the estimated time, so very minimal wait time. We ordered a veggie combo and with meat combo - both delicious! While picking up the order, I realized why I couldn't get a reservation: the place has a super small location. Nicely arranged and certainly enticing, although a fairly small setup. We really enjoyed our food - 2 combos easily fed 3 people. And we'll plan properly next time and hopefully get a chance to report back soon to see if on-site dining matches our very positive takeout experience. read more

Great food and good portions! I love the veggie combo which will feed 1-2 people. I myself can eat off of it for 2 days. Good flavors... Food and taste remains consistent during each visit!! Great customer service which is also a plus. I recommend reserving a spot if you plan to dine in. The inside is somewhat small, but modern, very clean with a welcoming vibe. My only wish is that they'd open earlier so that I could go during my lunch break as they open at 4pm. I love this place! read more

Delish Ethiopian Cuisine - Combo meat and vegetable. This picture says it all. WELL worth traveling 3 hours - Ethiopian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Excellent! The ambiance and atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and it smelled so good in there! The staff and servers were attentive and friendly, and quick to answer any questions we had as new comers. We started with a glass of the Ethiopian Wine each (which is less of a regional wine, and is made from honey... not quite mead, but in the same vein), and shared an order of the veggie roll appetizer. This was the highlight, I will say that now. Get the veggie roll. Period. The spices that I was expecting showed up in this dish, and while I wish the spices were more present elsewhere, they just weren't. So get the veggie roll. We got a couple of dinner entrees and had them plated together on a large tablecloth of the injera bread. There was also a side helping on the bread, but it was cold. I wasn't expecting it to have been cold, so it brought down the temperature of the lentils and chicken we ordered as the mains. We did not get dessert, but I would probably just order another veggie roll, to be honest. read more

Delish is delish indeed! My friend made a reservation for a Friday dinner through Resy which is a good call as it was fairly busy otherwise. It is a fairly small and intimate restaurant, but that also meant service is pretty good. We got the Delish combo which has a combination of meat + vegetable combos in one plate, which is good portion for 2 people. The injera here is pretty good, not too sour, so the actual food can be savored in more or less its original form. We also got the assa goulash (cube cut tilapia) and the classic doro wot (chicken) as these were not part of the combo, all of which are very well spiced yet balanced. I particularly really loved the tilapia! By ordering all this, we were able to try a large variety of food. My only complaint was that the food does take a while - about 30+ minutes, but the food quality otherwise is super on point and one of the better Ethiopian restaurants out here. Price is also excellent - sharing everything among 5 people was sufficient food and priced around $20 per person after tax and tip. Not many restaurants of this quality fit in this price range anymore these days. read more

This place deserves it's high reviews and then some. We love eating ethiopiam and have eaten at at least 30 different ethiopian places around the country. This rivals all of them in friendly service and delish-ious food. Often, on a vegetarian combo platter, there is at least one item that is less tasty than the others and that was just not the case here. I can't speak highly enough of our experience. read more

**vegetarian review** This is by far the best Ethiopian food I have had in Seattle area. It's so well priced and soooo damn delicious. I got the veggie combo and the veggie rolls and tomato fitfit. I don't know what to expect from the tomato fitfit and it was soooooooo goooooood. Similarly the combo I thought will be like any other place but no. It's so much nicer. I loved all the lentils and salads and veggies. Highly recommend and definitely planning to go back. read more

This was my first time trying Ethiopian food in a restaurant. I attended a Yelp event here and bought an authentic Ethiopian dark beer while there. I got to meet the owner, Delish, who passionately described his restaurant and the food and staff. With a name like Delish, it is very appropriate his place is also "Delish"!! During the evening, I learned that Delish opened right before COVID hit and they kept their doors open through this difficult time. I learned that Delish's wife, Amy, is the head chef and prepares the food with fresh ingredients daily. I also learned that due to the 13 month Ethiopian calendar, it is 2016 in Ethiopia! Overall, I loved this restaurant. Delish is a delightful man, his staff is friendly, the interior decorations and ambiance is well thought out, and the food is great, read more

The ambiance here is great. Service was kind. Definitely make a reservation because it quickly got packed on a Friday night! We were going to walk in, but made one one hour ahead just in case and got so lucky because the place is small and got booked out! We wanted to try everything and couldn't decide, so got the delish combo. Loved how they served it in an authentic style and had people eat with their hands like how ethiopians would (Utensils are available upon request for those who aren't down to try). The food was flavorful from the veggie options to the meat options. read more

Small and intimate restaurant serving amazing Ethiopian food. Our normal go-to place closed a few months ago after going there for over 30 years, so we decided to venture out to find a new spot for dinner. Bull's eye! We ordered the Toro Tibs (chicken) and the veggie combo. Injera cut in smaller portions and rolled up so you can easily pull apart a small portion and pick up a little chicken with some lentils or other veggies. Delicious! Found our new spot even though it's 25 mins from home. We needed another smaller order of Injera to finish our meal. Service was efficient as well! read more

Delish Ethiopian Cuisine - Toro Tibs and veggie combo - Ethiopian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This was my second visit in a month but this time with the fam. The place was empty when we got there just before 5 pm. By 5:30 pm the place was packed. They did get a couple of take out orders within the hour. The service was slow to begin with. We didn't order anything else to drink besides water as they never asked us which was a miss on their part. We ordered the Veggie Combo and the Delish Combo. Expect a longer than usual wait for the food to arrive. Not sure if they were understaffed in the kitchen as the owner was not around. By far the Veggie Combo is far better than the Delish Combo. There are a few dishes that stand out like the lentil. The meat dishes were ok. The number of injera rolls per combo is definitely less plus the ones that we got were super cold. My experience from my first visit was the exact opposite. I found the spice level of the dish to be a bit underwhelming. But I understand that they are adapting their menu to the populous. I am hoping for a better experience the next time I am in for some seafood. read more
