Somali Style Steak
Princess K.

I got Somali style stake and rice Omgg it's so good I had to go back and it's not that pricy. I paid $35 for two plates and the food last for two days because the plate was so full.

Beef zuqaar, with rice
Michelle L.

Since this place hasnt been reviewed recently, let me just clear things up and say that the menu is pretty much unchanged from the photos on Yelp, though the prices might have increased by a dollar or so on some items. We got: - beef tibis sandwich - beef zuqaar (with rice) - red split peas (with enjera) All were delicious!! This is the best Ethiopian food I have eaten in the Atlanta metro area to date. And gosh, really affordable prices: only $26ish dollars for all of the above! Safety notes: you can order ahead via phone, and all staff were masked.

Chicken Zuqaar (Chop-Chop Chicken) 10/10  well seasoned, very flavorful.

food tasted great. very flavorful. service was also excellent. very friendly and inviting staff.

Guava juice, comes with food

This is my third time coming to Madina. This is the right place to go of you are looking for a great Ethiopian food. The service was slow last time that it took me more than hour to get food, but its took them only 7 minutes to bring the food! The food comes with complementary guava juice and the food portion is huge. Every time I go, I see many people chatting in Swahili while drinking coffee, that how you know that the food is authentic!

Wonderful food and great friendly service. This was my first visit here and will certainly visit again when I am in Atlanta. I had the zuqaar with rice and chapati and it was really good!

I highly recommend you to try this Somalian restaurant. The food is very outstanding an impressive plus the customer service is wonderful. They make you feel very welcome and at home. Their prices are very very reasonable as well. Although the place is very simple and humble but the food is amazing

It's also a large space so great for groups. I love the salmon tibs with Shiro. The salmon tastes fresh and the dish has great flavor. I also enjoy the collard greens side. It comes with enough injera where I don't need to order more. Parking: shared private lot.

I took my parents here earlier this year, and they loved it so much they've been back at least five…read moretimes since. In fact, my mom even requested it for Mother's Day. That's usually a pretty good sign. I've only had Ethiopian food at two other restaurants around the Metro Atlanta area, and honestly, neither one was particularly memorable. This place is a completely different story. Every time we visit, the experience is consistent, no matter how busy they are. The decor is inviting, the service is always friendly and attentive, and the restaurant is consistently clean and well-maintained. My wife and I usually share the Tibs Platter with ribeye, lamb, and filet. The meat is always incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. We also order the Miser (spicy lentils), Atir (split peas), and plenty of injera. The combination of flavors and textures is amazing, and every bite complements the next. One of the things I appreciate most is how approachable they make Ethiopian cuisine for first-time visitors. If you've never had Ethiopian food before, this is a great place to start. The staff is helpful, the food is flavorful without being overwhelming, and the experience is unlike anything you'll find at a typical restaurant. If you're ever in the Atlanta area and want to try Ethiopian food, this place will not disappoint. Even if you're a little hesitant about eating with your hands, don't let that stop you. After a few bites, you'll understand why so many people keep coming back.

I have been wanting to try Ethiopian food for a few years now ever since my wife brought gave me…read moresome leftovers over 4 years ago. Today we finally went, and the experience exceeded expectations! The food was excellent and the staff were helpful and answered my questions about the food and helped me and my wife decide what to get. The combo platter is a great option for trying out several different meats and veggies and it does not break the bank. There was plenty of food for 2. The building was nicely appointed and the convenient hand washing station made the experience of eating primarily with your hands much less messy than one might think. As a person who is not very good with spicy heat, there were still so many foods that I could eat without my face melting. The dry spice mix and the dipping sauces were too spicy for me, but it did not matter, as the food had plenty of seasoning and flavor packed into it already. I can't wait to go back and try some of their other offerings!

This was without question one of the best meals I've ever had. The service was excellent and all of the staff were so warm and welcoming. It's a vegan's paradise! Can't wait to go back with the kids next time. The tofu tibs, cabbage, green beans, and yellow split peas were my favorites but it was all delicious....and we have leftovers for days.

Vegan food is here!!! NO soy, dairy, or gluten!…read more Since becoming a meatless, soy free, dairy free, and gluten free person for health reasons, I've been really careful of where to dine out. I do a lot of research before heading to a restaurant. A lot of vegan restaurants serve mock meats (soy) and have bread (gluten). I had Ethiopian food many years ago at Desta and enjoyed it. However, I wasn't sure what the injera bread was made from so doing a Google search lead me to the recipe. It is made of teff gain, which is gluten free!! Win-win for me! It is one of the smallest grains too! Three days of the week - Saturday, Wednesday, & Friday - Gursha has a vegetarian buffet. It will be a mix of 6 items from their vegetarian entrees. I let them choose 6 items for me. The following is from their website Shiro Watt - Split pea or check pea flour cooked with red onions, oil or butter, red pepper (berebere), garlic and Spice. Gomen - Fresh collard greens cooked and seasoned with oil onion, ginger, garlic, herbs and spice. Misir Watt - A stew made from organic split red lentils cooked with onion, oil spiced red pepper, flavored with ginger, garlic, and cardamom. Atiklett - Cabbage mixed with chunks of potatoes and carrot cooked with onion, flavored with ginger, garlic, and turmeric. Yekik Watt - Seasoned yellow split peas slowly cooked with oil, onion, ginger, turmeric and garlic. Fosolia - Fresh green beans and carrots cooked with oil, onions, fresh garlic, jalapeno, ginger, and salt. Mushroom with potato - Fresh sliced mushroom and potato cooked with onions, oil, fresh garlic, ginger, herbs, salt and spices. Dinich Wott - Chunks of potatoes cooked with onions, garlic seasoned in tomato and red pepper sauce and salt. Key sir (beetroot) salad - key sir mixed with carrot, potato, onion, lemon juice, oil, and jalapeno. My plate consisted of Gomen, Fosolia, Dinich Wott, Key Sir, Shiro Watt, Atiklett. They were all plated on top of injera. I also received two additional injera on the side. I loved everything I got. If you don't like beets then you won't like the Key Sir. My favorite is the Shiro Watt. It was so flavorable and delicious. I could taste the spices. It was soooo much food that I wasn't able to finish!! I ate only 2/3 of it. I was asked if I wanted more injera or even more food. I just couldn't! Oh yeah, when I asked for water, I got a bottle of water from the fridge. That was fine with me. Lunch was only $10.99 for the veggie buffet. It's been almost 5 hours since I've eaten. I can tell you I did not eat breakfast (thank goodness), and I'm still stuff!!! 124/2017

I had gone down (by Uber) to Atlanta Vintage Books for the afternoon to lounge in their chairs and…read moreread books, soak up the culture and enjoy their resident cats. I had not eaten before I left and after several hours there, I was HUNGRY. Because I had taken Uber, I asked the lady at the counter where was the closest restaurant within walking distance. She directed me across the street - just a hop skip and a jump from the bookstore. to Jebena Bistro. Never having eaten Ethiopian food, I decided to give it a try. As "Noelle" to the right, said, it's a little "hole in the wall". From the outside, it's nothing to write home about. But as soon as I walked in, I knew I was going to enjoy it. First of all, the lady that waited on me was so kind and welcoming. I asked her for her recommendations and she suggested several things. I ended up choosing the vegetable platter. When she brought it out, she explained to me that they eat with their hands. There was no silverware. She showed me the bread that they use to soak up the food with. It was made of a sponge-like substance and was rolled up. The platter was SO good. I quickly filled up and had to get a "to go" box which was filled with food. The amount of food I received for price I paid was ample. It easily made me a second meal at home. This wasn't a fancy place. But the food was very tasty and I will go back in the future.
