Lalibela Cafe - Review - Great African restaurant

Lalibela Cafe Restaurant (91 Irving Street, Footscray VIC 3011) is an Ethiopian/African restaurant.


Lalibela interior

Lalibela Cafe Restaurant is fairly intimate which is nice but if you like open space then maybe it's not the place for you.

Lalibela inside


Lalibela Cafe Restaurant is quite nicely decorated.  It's not overly ostentatious but has a nice amount of African decor to make it distinctive and feel a bit unique.  I like restaurants to be different so this is a good thing.


Lalibela African food

African food isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea but if you've never tried you should try at least once if you are a Melbournian.  There is such a mix of cultures in Melbourne that you owe it too yourself to experience Ethiopian or African food at least once in your lifetime.

While I wouldn't have African food all the time, I do like it when I choose to go.  It is something unique and a bit different.  Be prepared to share your food and use your hands.  It's the traditional way and works well with the style of food.

Lalibela African decor

African restaurants often have a suggested menu and I suggest you follow their lead if its your first time.  Ethiopian food isn't too spicy so while it might look hot it generally isn't so most people should be able to handle it.

Lalibela Cafe Restaurant is a welcoming and friendly restaurant.  You feel comfortable here and I believe the food is great.  I highly recommend Lalibela Cafe Restaurant if you've never tried African food before.  This is a nice place.
