The food was excellent! They even accommodated our group of 30 (I called in advance to make a reservation). I highly recommend checking out this restaurant if you are in town. Some folks in our group were new to Ethiopian food and some had tried it many times before, but everyone commented that the food was flavorful and delicious. We also enjoyed their selection of Ethiopian beers. read more

Dillas has amazing food but the service is very slow. A friend and I ordered an appetizer and a meal it took over an hour to get our food and all of the food came out at the same time. The manager was awfully rude when we told him the food was too spicy his words I quote " your going to waste this food or have me give it to another customer"? Afterwards trying to blame it on the waitress as if it was her fault. Claiming he didn't understand English after saying it over and over he didn't understand what we were saying. read more

Rica and I got delivery 25 minutes ago. We got a vegetarian sampler and Doro Tibs, which is a spicy chicken dish. We liked the vegetables a lot. The chicken had nice flavor, but was slightly dry in parts. We ate very fast and got happy. read more

An excellent authentic Ethiopian restaurant that is frequented by the Minneapolis Ethiopian community, not catered toward hipster foodies. This is the real deal. The waitress didn't even offer us silverware because, of course, you eat Ethiopian food with your hands. The service was excellent and the prices are very reasonable. There are several vegan options. The injera (flatbread made with teff flour) is gluten free. I recommend getting the veggie platter which is vegan. It comes on a large community plate with a bunch of injera. read more

Got this delivered so presentation was not the best, as to be expected. Still the food was good. Had the kinfot and everything was tasty. Plenty of injera which was nice. The sauces were rich. My only complaint is that the food while tasty, could have been cooked more delicately. The egg had a green ring (sign it was cooked too long) and the chicken tasted like it may have been stewed too long. All in all I would definitely return but may order earlier in the day. read more

Injera was too spongy, not enough teff. Veggie combo was average except for the Fesolea (Green beans, carrots, potatoes, onions, and pepper cooked in mild sauce) which I hadn't had elsewhere, sweet surprise! read more

This place is amazing!!! The waitresses were friendly and the food was great-we ordered the veggie combination platter and the three combo platter for two people, with plenty of leftovers. Also, I would highly recommend getting the coffee. The presentation is really cool and the coffee is smooth and flavorful. read more

We are so fortunate to have such delicious Ethiopian food experiences here and this place serves it up great! We shared a combination platter with a nice selection of meat and vegetarian options. The meat was done to perfection and everything was delicious. The owner's family serves, cooks and checks in patrons. Ask about for the coffee ceremony- we'll do that next time! We appreciated when our server brought us a couple other dishes to sample on the house. We'd order both of those next time. read more

I ate here earlier today with my family who is in town visiting. We got the combination plater, that had lamb prepared in two different styles, beef, chicken, and other veggies. It was a hefty portion of food and we all left full and happy. I especially loved the lamb curry, but overall everything was flavorful and delicious. Additionally, the staff is accommodating and very pleasant. Can't wait to return! read more

My friend and I came here on a whim the other night - he'd never had Ethiopian food, so we thought it would be a good first! They're open late (which is fantastic!) and we were seating immediately. We got the meat pastry appetizer (I'm currently forgetting what they're called) and the meat combo dish to share between the two of us. The food was incredible and the owner would swing around every once in a while to check how we were liking everything - service was very good and everyone working there was very kind and earnest. Would definitely go back in the future! read more

The lamb curry was excellent - tender and not fatty. We also shared the beef ribs and a vegetarian combo - more than enough food! Seasoning delicious, attentive service, not pretentious. A good choice for a good price! read more

Excellent food and friendly staff! The vegetarian platter is awesome. It's an incredibly tasty dish, super healthy and a great value. I will be back and plan to make it a date night by attending a concert at the Cedar Cultural Center afterwards. read more

Excellent food. My wife craves the zigni with boiled eggs. Food takes a lil time but it's so tasty. I've already came this place twice. I also tried their burger combo. Tasty fries and burgers . I would recommend this place to anyone . read more

Worst service ever. Took 30 min to get a bean dip appetizer, and then ordered the 5 combo meal which made me sick most of the night. Not good. read more

My whole family went to Dilla's tonight to have dinner. My husband and son and brother-in-law had the combo platters which were outstanding. Too much food to even think about finishing. I had the minced beef with ginger and garlic and it was fabulous. Their service was out of this world and the servers were the nicest they could be. If you have never tried Somalian cuisine I suggest you try it right away at Dilla's read more

Awaze Tibs extra spicy with no salad has become my go to. I always order out and enjoy at home. Very comforting food.

Dilla's is one of my favorite restaurant in the twin City. They have a wonderful staff, that always make you feel welcome. Also the food is so delicious. I always order a Lamb curry, but they all type of Ethiopian food, for vegetarian or for meat eater like myself. Go check that out, and you won't regret!! read more

Have eaten here a number of times, and enjoyed everything. The food is delicious, and it is a really good price. Parking can kind of suck depending on the day you go there, but it hasn't been too much of a problem. I particularly like the eatery because my wife is a vegetarian, and being a meat-eater, it's hard to find a place we can both agree on. Dilla's has really good options for the both of us. read more

Absolutely delicious! I highly recommend the #69 Yetebaberu. Bring your appetite and wear stretchy pants.

We love the staff and the food is always great. The ribs are delicious and always recommend the Mesir Wat.

First time here for our 26th anniversary...great veg food..had the combination plate and the veggie samosas....very nice flavors will definitely be back! read more

I have been to this place a few times. The food is great, the people are friendly and the atmosphere is great. We are vegetarian so we have the veggie platter that gives us a sample of all the different veggie options. The only problem I have is that the injera is filling so I feel stuffed when I'm done. I suppose I could eat less but what fun would that be! :-) We also had the fule for an appetizer which is really tasty. This place also serves wine and beer which is nice. They also have a buffet on Thursday and Sunday which is good if you want to try a number of different items. read more

The food was very delicious (especially the sambusa), and the service was great. Everyone was very kind and gave us tips on how the use the injera to scoop up the entree. The baklava is also quite yummy, but you might need to take it to go since the meals are so large and filling. The decor is simple, but accurate (according to my Ethiopian boyfriend, who joined me and loved the decor and the food). Pricing is the same as most places, but the amount of food and the quality of it is definitely worth what they charge. Try it! read more

I enjoyed the veggie platter. Please ask for organic injera (teff Injera). Great service, great food...what else do you want :)

Most wonderful and delicious food!! The staff is always so friendly and cheerful, and always ready for a good recommendation. Never a bad meal here, coming back again and again :) read more

I wish I went to Dilla's more often. The prices are really good and, I always leave full. I like the food each time. It is a great place for vegetarians like me. The service can be bad at times. Sometimes the waitresses seem disinterested but this isn't a deal breaker. The food is great and so are the prices. The service is good enough. read more

Very good food and a nice atmosphere. The price is reasonable and the parking is also convenient. I highly recommend it.

Delicious. We started with the Fule appetizer and then had the veggie combination. We really didn't care for #58 (Miser Wot- red lentils with berbere sauce) but only because of our taste buds...no fault of their preparation. read more

Terrible customer service!!! I was here on Monday evening with my family and we got served cold Injera. When I mentioned it to the waiter she said Injera are always cold, as if I have never had Ethiopian food. They focus on serving their Caucasian customers more. I'm extremely disappointed. I will never go back there again. read more

When a friend was visiting we decided to try the new Ethiopian place in town--and we loved it! The woman who waited on us was lovely. She was very nice and made recommendations and even gave me an extra scoop of split peas with the veggies I ordered. The food was amazing and the owner came out at the end to see how everything was. Go check it out! read more

ordered in from this place through door dash and it was a complete waste of $23. When the food finally got there it was barely warm. I ordered a chicken dish and there was literally One piece of chicken in the dish. I guess they figured the pieces of lamb bones that somehow ended up in my dish made up for it. And last but certainly not least, halfway through eating I found a long string of hair in my food. NEVER AGAIN Dilla's. read more

Dilla's is the best Ethiopian food I've eaten so far in the Twin Cities. Everything on the vegetarian platter was good and I will definitely be back. A veggie platter with an extra order of Misir Wat was more than enough to feed three people and still have lots of leftovers. read more

$9.99 wonderful Thursday buffet. We were planning to go to Hard Times Cafe when we saw that they only took cash, so in a moment of spontaneity we decided to walk around and find another restaurant. It was my first time at an Ethiopian restaurant and the buffet was a perfect way to sample a variety of delicious dishes. Most of the dishes were also vegetarian. Staff was also extremely friendly and helpful in pointing out vegetarian dishes, as well as keeping the buffet fully stocked. Very satisfied and will be back again !! read more

We eat Ethiopian food all the time. Meat dishes here are quite heavy/oily and still don't really taste that good. Delicious veggie combo, but again it's on the oily side. SERVICE IS INSANELY SLOW. Location isn't in the safest of neighborhoods. Buffet items are not refilled and always end early--you have to get there right when the buffet starts to have fresh food. There are definitely better places to get Ethiopian fare (hint hint: DEMERA on University Ave, St Paul). read more

Hmm, went back here a few weeks ago because I had been bragging about to a friend who loves ethnic food and I was VERY disappointed. Usually the service is wonderful but this was the definitely not the case this time. We had to ask our server for water and menus (she seemed very confused of why we were asking for such items). We then had to again ask her if we could order and she again seemed very unsure of what to do next. We then asked to see a drinks menu and this took her about 10 minutes to bring us even though there were only a few other customers in the place. Once we received that menu, I had a question about a beer and she had absolutely no idea what I was talking about. We finally got our appetizer (Fule) and it was pretty good, the bread has been fresher in past visits though. Once our main dishes came, the real fun began. Each dish came out with at least 5 minutes between each other (there were 3 of us). She gave the wrong dishes to my friend but insisted it was the one he ordered so he proceeded to eat it. After about 10 minutes had passed, another main entree came out and it was in fact the one he had actually ordered (at this point over half of the first dish to be brought out had been ate). This server seemed like a bat in the headlights when we confronted her. I could tell she did not speak nor understand English very well from the start but I am an open minded and global citizen that always gives one the benefit of the doubt. But at this point, the service was just so horrible that I beckoned for one of the servers I normally have (who I know speaks English) to come over to our table and attempt to sort out this whole mess. She immediately saw the problem and the chef/owner came over to apologize. The food was delicious as always but I could not get over the horrible service. In the end, we convinced them to charge half for my friend's mystery dish. I really did not want to write this review because I love small run, ethnic places but this server clearly needs more training or should find a new career. Bottomline is that the food is wonderful but the service leaves a lot to be desired. read more

Yelp reviews did not disappoint. Authentic Ethiopian food in MN. Must try.

Good food and service. I highly recommend this place. The kitfo and tibse will make you go back for more.

Great food. Veggie combo was terrific, as was meat and veggie combo. The service was great. Beer, coffee. Highly recommend. Maybe better than Fasika... read more

Best Ethiopian in the Twin Cities. I've spent months in Ethiopia multiple times and find Dilla's very authentic and great tasting. Tibbs are the best. Buna (coffee) is fantastic. Be sure to go! read more

The customer service was very good ,the dishes were incredibly delicious.Also attended wedding ceremony catering prepared by Dilla restaurant, it was remarkably tasteful buffet that was enjoyed by everybody .I recommend anybody visiting Minneapolis looking for best Ethiopian dishes to visit the place ! read more
