Ghenet Brooklyn

The food was so good! We had three people and got the combination. We tried all the stews, the lentils, butternut squash, and other stuff. The spices were ethereal and we didn’t find a thing we disliked even though we tried 9 of the dishes! Also, I think that all of the vegetarian options were also vegan. We got a table right away without a reservation on a Friday evening. Service was attentive and the atmosphere festive as we ate in a little porch-like enclosure off the main dining area. Would definitely recommend highly!

I absolutely love this restaurant and Ethiopian food. I used to order from here multiple times. My review has nothing to do with the food (excellent) or the service (few times I have eaten at the restaurant it's been wonderful). It's to do with delivery. Their prices are much higher on DoorDash and when you get a combo you only get two sides vs four. When you order directly (which I am more than happy to do), it's a much better option. However, their site almost never works when processing payments, which is extremely frustrating. I would love to continue ordering delivery from here frequently, but hope they update their site!

This was my first time ever at an Ethiopian restaurant so the entire experience was foreign to me. The service was speedy and polite which I appreciated, but the explanation of how things worked at an Ethiopian dinner wasn’t as good. I really enjoyed the meats (got lamb and chicken) but the sauce weren’t my favorite (just my personal taste tho). My only real complain is the bread the serve it on gets extremely soggy quickly making it difficult to eat. Overall a cool spot but didn’t blow my mind

This was just the delicious flavorful and semi-healthy meal I needed. Got the vegetarian plate for two and your get to choose 8 veggies since it offers 4 per person. Favorites were the collard greens, split pea, mushroom, cabbage and potatoes, and the spicy bean. In addition we got the doro tibbs chicken stew, but that turned out to be too much food for two. Everything was SO GOOD. Be careful eating everything with all the injera, you’ll fill up quickly, and there are no utensils by default.

Very very good! I'm visiting Brooklyn from Houston for the weekend seeing a friend. She brought me here for dinner, and I'm glad she did! Food was super good! She had the Ghenet combination plate, and I had the kitfo. The kitfo was ao damn good! Price was fair enough for the amount of food and quality of the flavor. Restaurant was clean. Staff was friendly. I'd say for sure give it a try if you're in the area! Definitely recommend!

The place is not that big but when it gets busy the service can be a bit slow. The prices are very reasonable. All of the stews were delicious with a lot of flavor. The spicy bean dish was excellent and the butternut squash was very good. I would not recommend the lentil dish (misir wett) and the cabbage dish (atkilt wett). Overall authentic food and nice atmosphere.
