Best Ethiopian Food, Wonderful Service!
My experience at this restaurant was exceptional. I had the best Ethiopian food I've ever tasted. The owners and servers were incredibly nice, providing good service and being very thoughtful throughout my meal. The atmosphere was also rated highly.

Cafe Ibex: Flavorful Food, Great Vibe!
My experience at Cafe Ibex was fantastic! I highly recommend ordering the lamb meat combo and veggie combo for a party of 4; it's about $13 each before tip and offers the most delicious mix of diverse flavors and ingredients. The servings are hearty, allowing your party to eat like kings on a budget. I was surprised by the flavorful vegetarian food and impeccably marinated meats. The restaurant has a great vibe, is open late, and sometimes the staff even dances! It's a real vibe for real. Just a heads-up, you might want to ask them to make it spicier as they might hold back on the heat.

Accommodating staff for a large group
We loved the food and service. We’re a big group with a bunch of noisy and energetic kids, and the staff were really accommodating.

Incredible Ethiopian Experience!
My wife and I have tried Ethiopian food before, and it was great, but the atmosphere here was incredible. They did everything possible to make this a legendary meal from every angle. The smells, the sights, the vibe, and service were all fantastic. The food was the best meal in months, period. We enjoyed roasted coffee in a frying pan right in front of us, and they were burning the most aromatic resin or incense, which was just fantastic all around. We would give it 6 stars if we could! Thanks for a great lunch, Ibex Cafe!

Delicious Ethiopian Combo Platter!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I stopped in for dinner with a friend and we were amazed by the food. Between the two of us, we couldn't finish our very reasonably priced ($25) combo platter. The food was amazing, and the beef combo platter had unique and delicious flavors I haven't encountered at other Ethiopian restaurants. I'm already getting hungry thinking about how good it was! The included veggies were also delicious, making me confident that a veggie platter would be equally delightful. One platter was definitely enough for two people 😅. Parking was easy, and we were delighted by our conversations with the staff. I can't wait to go back, but we'll need to bring more people to try all the combos!

Delicious Food, Accommodating Service
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The food was delicious, and the service was incredibly friendly. We usually opt for the lamb or chicken combo, and the portions are generous, more than enough for two people. What truly stood out was their willingness to accommodate dietary restrictions; they always prepare gluten-free injera for my friend who is gluten intolerant. This attention to detail and the quality of the food made for a very satisfying meal.

Absolutely Delicious Meal!
My experience at the restaurant was absolutely delicious! I ordered the lamb combination and tried to eat it all myself. 😋 The customer service was great, and I highly recommend this place. They also have vegetarian selections with great flavors, and I highly recommend their vegetarian offerings, which include a large vegetarian selection.

Delicious Vegetable Combo and Inspiring Ambiance!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! I got the vegetable combo and it was absolutely delicious! The portion size was generous, enough to share or split into two meals. The owner was kind, providing excellent service. The ambiance was comforting and inspiring, making me want to dance in the party hall!

Excellent Veggie Combo and Service!
My experience at this restaurant was outstanding. I had the Vegetable Combo, which was one of the best I've had in the city. The staff were wonderful, and the service was great. They also have Guinness on tap. I cannot speak highly enough of this place.
