Within hours, I was violently throwing up and experiencing the kind of explosive diarrhea that makes you reconsider every decision you've made since birth. It's now Saturday morning and my digestive system is STILL dealing with the aftermath. Normally I'd hesitate to blame a restaurant because sometimes your stomach just chooses violence. Except my coworker ate here too and ALSO got sick, so that feels like a pretty important piece of evidence. If I'm going to spend two days fighting for my life in the bathroom, I at least want the meal that got me there to have been incredible. It was not.

I called to let them know. They were very apologetic. Unfortunately I was 35 minutes away from the location. Too far to drive back. My son lives near the restaurant so the fellow said he could go in anytime to get any salad he wanted. My son went there today and he said they were so nice to him, even giving him a free Blondie for dessert. We're very impressed with how they handled the mistake. We'll definitely go back.

To be honest, this location has been a little hit or miss for me when it comes to food quality. I've had salmon that needed to be sent back, and a few bowls that just didn't seem quite right. Overall, it's still very good, and the staff are always friendly and helpful. The seating is great, both inside and out. The outdoor area has a nice cooling mist and a fun, festive atmosphere, with lots of restaurants nearby. The Wi-Fi is fast, but this isn't really a study spot, so I wouldn't plan on camping out to get work done here. Even with the occasional hiccup, I still keep coming back because I love it!

The atmosphere felt too minimal and basic, and the food was bland overall. Unfortunately, I also didn't feel well after eating here, which made it hard to overlook the rest. This was the only meal I had Saturday and I spent all of Saturday and Sunday vomiting. I had to cancel plans and the pain was absolutely unbearable. If I'm going to get food poisoning Id prefer to be poisoned with great tasting food. Won't be back.

This was an interesting experience. Scramble is one of those sterile breakfast places that Arizona…read morejust loves. Stainless steel tables, basic menus etc. I was greeted by a very sweet and nice server... but she didn't introduce herself... she just wiggled her fingers at me in some sort of a wave then proceeded to lean down and look at the screen of my phone and compliment the picture on it..... ok?! Thanks girl. This is weird. Don't look at my phone. I'm a server, I've been in the service industry for 22 years. There's a line between 'friendly' and ' we're friends' and our server leaned towards the latter. She was also dressed in a mid drift shirt which her belly and belly button ring were exposed and at the table I caught her twiddling her long dangling belly button ring in nervousness multiple times. That's super gross We both order our food and the real confusing thing about this place is, in the middle of the restaurant there seems to be a self serve 'bar' kind of thing filled with jelly and hot sauces etc.. My friend needed a jelly and a butter for her toast so I just walked up and grabbed it. Within seconds some girl approached me and asked me what I was doing. I apologized and told her I assumed this was self serve because it LOOKS self serve. She told me it wasn't, I told her what I needed and I sat down. Confusing layout. I had ordered a matcha drink and it was good. I finished it. The server came by and asked if I liked it because she had made it herself and I said yes! And she goes 'wait? You don't like it? What's wrong with it? And then proceeded to explained how she changes the way she makes it so the matcha doesn't sink to the bottom. I drank it.,, it was good. I don't need a play by play. This is unprofessional as an interaction. I was uncomfortable. Ok girl. I just told you it was good. We're fine. Thank you. The food was FINE. You can tell the omelettes were made in some sort of mold and not on a grill by a person by hand, so seeing as empty as the restaurant was I was confused why it took so long to get 2 basic omelettes. My order was missing my hash browns but whatever. The food was good. I could have made this at home. In all honesty the service and the professionalism of the staff needs to be reevaluated. Touching a belly button ring next to my head while I'm ordering food is actually insane. I wouldn't return... but only because of the odd service. The basic food was good I guess.

We met some good friends here to catch up and the food was just as good as the last time.

The highlight of the visit is the traditional seating arrangement. Eating from a low wooden table while seated on the floor creates a unique, authentic, and highly enjoyable atmosphere. My friend and I thoroughly appreciated this distinctive setup. The food itself is outstanding and reasonably priced. The portion sizes are quite large, featuring a generous plate of flavorful rice serving as the base for perfectly prepared proteins. Both our chicken and lamb orders were cooked to perfection--tender, juicy, and well-seasoned. For first-time visitors, it is important to note the service model: you must place your order directly at the counter upon arrival. Table service is not provided, so do not wait to be seated before ordering. Additionally, logistically speaking, parking is convenient. If the main lot out front happens to be full, they have an additional dedicated parking lot located directly behind the restaurant building. I recommend this establishment for anyone looking for Mandi, great value, and an unique dining experience.

As my uncle said, if the place has wood paneling on the walls it's probably great. I had the country fried steak and I love that they give you the option to sub toast for biscuits at no extra charge! Food was delicious, filling, and a very generous portion! If it matters, I ordered a chocolate milk and they don't skimp on the chocolate. The place was absolutely packed so the noise was a bit to navigate around, a little hard to have a conversation in, but otherwise it felt very homey. Wait staff were very attentive and kind!

I understand nostalgic reasons for going to a restaurant that is past it's time. This seems like…read moreone of those. We have a former work place group that tries new breakfast places every so often. We tried Harlows and were amazed to find dinner prices for breakfast. Charging $20 for Huevos Rancheros (no meat), $21 for a very average chorizo egg plate and $20 for a very average hamburger is charging uptown prices for a very old cramped place of business. Lucky that someone at the table found a flyer for "early bird" specials that we ordered from. One egg, one bacon and potatoes for $8.50. One in our part had pancakes. We felt we had escaped without breakig the bank but still hungry. Apologies to all you long time Tempe residents who know the owner and have been going there for ages, but I don't and won't.

I love traveling to Africa and have visited a number of times. I haven't made it over to Ethiopia yet. Café Lalibela serves authentic Ethiopian cuisine with recipes that have been passed down through generation. The family that owns this place are passionate about sharing their culture. One of the family members came out and greeted our table. She shared a little bit about the history of Café Lalibela and how they made their way to Tempe. The staff also described the food that we were about to eat as they brought it out. We ordered a couple of platters and enjoyed eating it communally. The menu consists of Ethiopian favorites like Doro Wat, Tibs, Kitfo and a variety of vegan and gluten-free dishes. I am a big lentil fan and love that lentils are a big part of Ethiopian cuisine. I had the Lalibela Deluxe platter in front of me most of the evening and enjoyed the flavors and spices of each of the items. Ethiopian food is so vibrant and colorful. If you have never tried, they do not use silverware to pick up their food. Food is eaten with Injera - a spongy pancake-like flatbread that you use to scoop up your food. Café Lalibela has beautiful African décor all around the restaurant. They have a small shop in the front that sells gifts, food items, tea and coffee. I ended up buying a bag of coffee beans to take home.

Flavor was alright, I guess not too sure what to have expected. One of the meats that were given to us, which happened to be my favorite, there was literally maybe three pieces to it, then the rest had a bit more. Ended up just letting my friend eat the whole thing since there wasn't as much protein as we thought there was going to be. The meal was suppose to feed two I believe. The appetizer we got was probably the best thing we ordered in my opinion.
