Black Garlic masterfully fuses Ethiopian and Caribbean flavors into an unforgettable dining experience, with exceptional service and thoughtfully curated dishes like Shekla Tibs, Shrimp Tibs with red lentils, and perfectly steamed jerk bao buns. The inviting atmosphere, impeccable presentation, and warm staff—particularly celebrated server Terri—create a welcoming space where bold spices and cultural heritage shine on every plate.
Reviewers consistently praise the restaurant's blend of Ethiopian and Caribbean cuisine, with specific dishes like jerk chicken bao, braised short ribs, mussels, crab cakes, and mac and cheese receiving repeated mentions for their seasoning and execution. Service stands out as a major strength, with multiple guests highlighting server Terri/Teri for being warm, knowledgeable, and attentive, while the unique decor and welcoming atmosphere are noted as inviting features. While most reviewers express enthusiasm across visits, a couple mention the menu's higher price point relative to portions and note one instance where a server seemed less knowledgeable about dishes.
