Ethiopian Diamond Restaurant

Wow, the food here is amazing! I stumbled on this restaurant a few months ago, and I was blown away. It's all so good, but try the shimbra assa, a fried chick pea cake in a really tasty spicy red sauce. This is a specialty of the restaurant and very very delicious. I love the way the injera is cooked here, it's a little thinner than at Ras Dashen. An excellent choice! Pros: The red lentils here are so good! Cons: Are there any? I just wish it were closer to my apartment! more

The food was delicious, the service great, and the prices were very reasonable. Our water glasses were filled constantly and we didn't feel rushed at all while we enjoyed a fantastic meal. We left stuffed and happy. We were really glad to have stumbled upon this place and can't wait to go back! \r Pros: delicious food, great service, good portion size more

The veggie platter is the best choice - even if you are a meat-eater. Service is so-so, but the food makes it worthwhile. Never seems crowded too. more

My boyfriend and I [vegetarians] -longtime regulars to this gem, in our neighborhood. Even having our own designated table and exchange holiday cards with the employees. We always take our out-of-town guests here -veg. and meat eaters alike- and they soon become converts -praising our choice. The food is full of flavor, texture and served in a timely matter. A suggestion to newbies -Choose one of their ""Taste of Ethiopia"" platters -If there are two of you, order the ""Taste of Ethiopia for 1,"" vs. 2 -The Taste for 2 is perfect for 3 or 4 people. The employees are the best, warm/friendly and accommodating people. [Who are happy to explain the various dishes, for any newbies.] The atmosphere is spacious and comfortable. Another added bonus -Regardless of how busy -You can dine leisurely and won't feel rushed. Beware though, once you try Diamonds -You will start to crave it. more

Diamond's has excellent food, especially for vegetarians, great service, and authentic Ethiopian decor. The traditional food is fun to eat with our fingers using injera, the wheat bread. Friends love the chicken and beef tibs. I love all the vegetarian selelctions, from greens and spicy lentils to cabbage with carrots and lightly seasoned potatoes. Pros: Inexpensive, Value, Fun to Eat more
