Ethiopian Diamond Restaurant

We went on Nov 21st evening to try this place and used Groupon ($70 deal worth $150 for 4). Here is a narration of our nightmare: 1) First they pu... more

They deliver quickly and the food delivers exceptionally well. If you haven't actually eaten at the restaurant (or if you've never had Ethiopian before), this is one of my "you have to try it" foods. more

Always excellent Ethiopian food! Almost always eat at the restaurant, but have ordered Ethiopian "to go" a few times now, and you still get a lot of food and injera. more

Very prompt delivery, nearly 30 minutes earlier than expected! The food was all hot and fresh and very tasty! more

Awesome every time. more

My favorite Ethiopian food in the city, hands down. Usually faster delivery than anticipated, and always good. more

Amazing! I cannot wait to order from there again! more

I've had Ethiopian Diamond's excellent food at the restaurant, and I was pleased to find that the portion sizes you get dining in were carried over to delivery. The food arrived quickly and was still hot when it got here. I got the veggie E3 combo for dinner, and even after I was full I had enough left to eat lunch the next day. more

Love the Diamond. My better half is gluten free (not by choice) and they have the gluten free (black) injera, which is $2 more per piece, but worth it. All of the food at Ethiopian Diamond is delicious...not sure where to start...We are always satisfied with the meat or veggie combos. Not a big fan of the shards of bone that I sometimes find in some dishes, but the reward of the flavor outweighs the risk. Great for vegetarians and omnivores alike. more

The best ethiopian restaurant in Chicago! I travel a lot and have eaten at ethiopian restaurants around the globe and this is the best ethiopian restaurant. There is an ethiopian restaurant in ""little ethiopia"" in Washington DC that comes close to providing the quality and taste of the food but DC has the largest ethipian population and has a ton of ethiopian restaurants. I have tried every ethiopian restaurant in chiago and Evanston and have finally found the best. My husband is not an adventorous eater and it really took him 2 times to love it and recommend it to friends. I will be honest, the sour bread suprises people and it takes coming back knowing what to expect in terms of sharing the food from the same plate, eating with your hands and the taste of the bread. We have now taken a number of our friends to this restaurant and everyone loves it. I recommend going on a Saturday when they have a live band because it just completes the wonderful atmosphere. The people are very friendly. The host is always very helpful, whether it is suggesting a food option or suggesting a place to watch the football game after dinner, he is happy to help. The food is fresh and not greasy, which can be a problem at other places. The bread is freshly made every day and it should be soft and spongy so if you go to other places like the one in evanston and the bread is hard then you know to leave that place and come to the Ethiopian Diamond beacuse it really is a diamond in the rough. The food will fill you up and for a cheap price. I usually order the vegetarian combo (I am not a vegetarian but still love this combo) and my husband will order a spicy beef dish and of course we will share. The beef dish comes in a large portion and then you get about 8 different vegetable side dishes that you can share. It is a perfect combo. I also recommend you enjoy tea at the end of dinner it is fabulous. To end, this is the BEST ethiopian restaurant in chicago, try it! Pros: Great food, great music, great price, friendly staff, parking, reservations accepted, Cons: It is difficult for staff to understand you sometimes more

I love Ethiopian Diamond. When I go to the restaurant, I always leave totally satisfied (if not fit to burst). But delivery...portions are totally not worth the price you pay. more

Best place to be!!! really loved the food there. hte decor is awesome. goes with the food and the restaurant cuisine. wish it wasnt that expensive and i could go there daily. The service is also ok. more

Went here for lunch on a Friday, and it didn't disappoint. I ordered Doro Watt (chicken) and my girlfriend had a delicious spinach entree. The injera is delicious, as is their tea. I wanted to try their much-ballyhooed coffee too, but I had already my caffeine fix for the day. Ethiopian Diamond's staff is very personable, friendly, and helpful. The portions are a little small for the prices charged, but the quality of the food is very high. Recommended. Pros: Food, service, general enjoyment Cons: Portions are just a little small for the prices charged more
