- Casual spot serving traditional utensil-free Ethiopian cuisine, including vegetarian options.
This family-owned gem brings authentic Ethiopian heritage to Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood with meticulously crafted dishes that showcase traditional spice and flavor—from the perfectly sour injera to standout specialties like Asa be-Shiro and Siga Wot. The inviting atmosphere, anchored by warm lighting and attentive service, makes it equally suited for lingering date nights or celebratory family gatherings, while the newly remodeled space and rooftop patio overlooking the city add a contemporary Chicago touch to time-honored culinary traditions.
Reviewers consistently praise Tesfa's combination platters—particularly the vegetarian and meat dishes served with injera—highlighting generous portions, well-balanced spices, and fresh ingredients like the Asa be-Shiro (tilapia), sambusas, and lamb stew. The restaurant's atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff, in-house Tej (honey wine), and Ethiopian coffee receive repeated mention, with several guests noting the welcoming family vibe and recently expanded location. While a few reviewers note the kitchen prioritizes freshness over speed, most view this as worthwhile given the quality of the food and service.
