    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.

    This review is about the service only…read more I used to come here at least once a month and the last 2-3 times the service has really irritated me. This last visit this past weekend, the lady completely forgot our friend's order and it took forever to come out. My fiance and I ordered 2 entrees and we got 3 rolls of injera total. They charge for extra injera. Not only that, the server comes and asks if we want water. I said yes and she just walks away. Then she comes and interrupts us to check us out when we were clearly still eating and talking. Come on. The food is good but it's bordering annoying and frustrating experience. I tipped the server 18% because she was staring at the screen but honestly, she should've gotten way less. I'm irritated just writing this.

    I've always wanted to try Ethiopian food, and I was finally able to try it at Aster's! Aster's is…read morein a small building off the highway and has enough parking. When I got there, it was completely empty. I was surprised that it wasn't packed more! Service was incredibly good. There was only one person working in the restaurant when we went but he answered all our questions. He even gave us some dessert for free when we finished our meal! I went during the lunch buffet, so I was able to try as much as I wanted. I didn't realize how vegetarian friendly Ethiopian food is! I liked everything, but I LOVED the spicy lentils. Especially with the injera? Oh my god YUM! Everything about this restaurant was a 10/10. More people should come visit this independent restaurant, there's food for everyone!

    Great spot for Ethiopian food! I've been there 3 times already and have brought different friends…read moreto try it too. The last time I visited, the prices had gone up slightly, but still super affordable (around $15) especially for all the food you're able to get during their lunch buffet. In terms of location, it's located right off I-35 so pretty convenient. Decent amount of parking available. You can choose to sit indoors or outdoors but I would recommend sitting outdoors since there's more space. In terms of service, it's all self-serve so more of a choose your adventure setup. There's a bunch of different options (veggie, meat, etc.) you can fill your plate with! The mix of flavors/variety makes for a delicious, filling meal. I particularly enjoy their injera, doro wott (chicken), begg wott (lamb stew), and any of their lentil dishes. Sometimes there'll be dessert too (such as pound cake). Highly recommend if you're looking to try some Ethiopian food in Austin! It's a reliable spot, and the lunch buffet is an especially great deal.
