Reviews for Emma Habesha Restaurant in Inglewood, CA
Loved the food! Been missing it. Decided to go with Emma Habesha and was not disappointed. We got the veggie combo...amazing.... I recommend the back patio when the weather is nice (which is most of the time in socal) for an eclectic eating experience. Ohwhen we went in to pay the bill (very reasonable), Emma taught us Ethiopian dancing and shared with us other interestingculture. Enjoy! Read more
Great food and the ambiance of the place is really amazing.It is my first time eating Ethiopian food and definitely we will come... back in this place with my classmates.Emma the owner is really kind and she even introduced the food that we are eating. Read more
We had the fish dullet and dereq tibbs. It was very delicious, though watch out for the jalapenos mixed in if you're sensitive... to spiciness. We got a side of lentils which were my favorite. Definitely get the traditional coffee even if you aren't a coffeelover (I normally prefer tea but loved this Ethiopian coffee flavor!). I plan to come back in the future. Read more
I am speechless. First time trying Ethiopian food and I came to the right place! Staff was very friendly. I?m usually not a fan... of lentils, but the red lentils was super delicious!! It?s a must!!! I also got the honey wine and it was very smooth. It?s alsohouse-made which made it even better! It got me feeling very relaxed ?? will be coming back! Read more
Emma was an amazing host and this was one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. She took the time to explain... the menu in detail and asked what kinds of flavors and textures we preferred before giving recommendations. The food came outdelicious and out of the handful of times I've tried Ethiopian cuisine, her cooking tasted the most authentic and was incrediblyflavorful. We also wanted to visit her specifically for an authentic Ethiopian coffee experience and she did not disappoint.Emma really went above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable for us and even went out of her way to teach us about theculture and shared community aspect behind dining with friends and family. After we finished eating, she brought out the coffeebeans in a roasting pan for us to smell. After brewing the coffee, she even joined us to explain the traditions and etiquette ofenjoying coffee as a group, and overall was incredibly welcoming and friendly. It was a wonderful experience learning about adifferent culture and I will definitely be visiting again. Read more
???????? ETHIOPIA Excerpt from Eat the World Los Angeles: Regardless, it is lovely to be back inside places full of hospitality... like Emma Habesha in Inglewood. Things may move a bit too slowly for city folks at times, but settle into the seats and the timeframe and you are bound to be satisfied. The matriarch who does most of the cooking might also come to your table for orderingduring weekday lunches when things are slower. Either way, it is a family affair through and through and it shows.

If you ain?t visit this place, something is definitely wrong with you lol!!! I have nothing but RAVING reviews for this place! ... The restaurant is family owned, black owned, and Mama Emma is VICIOUS in the kitchen. The restaurant is definitely somethingthat surprises you with a small Intimate air-conditioned inside to a full private backyard with plenty of seating and fire pitsfor heat in the chill cool of the night and restrooms are available. The food is absolutely A-1, Top Notch and I cannot begin toexplain the comfort of eating such organic foods with a perfect blend of Ethiopian Spices and Herbs. As you can see in my photoreviews. The portions are great and since I?m vegan, I always eat the same thing every time I come because I can?t get off thisone place, I?m addicted. They have a selection of wine to choose from, but I?d prefer if they enlarge there selection ofwine? but that is the only criticism I have for this place. Emma is definitely cultural, having moved here to the states inhopes of bettering herself and her family, she has been here 12 years and the rest of the family came soon after. They are allgreat people hands down.. such a peaceful and calm and welcoming atmosphere, I?d rate a 10 stars if I could. I had the Veggiedish with rice and as simple as it sounds, she did some magical stuff to this white rice lol. This place is great for datenights, after church meals, or practically anything.. just come. You?ll be greatly satisfied. Read more
Such an amazing restaurant. The food was delicious and the coffee was PHENOMENAL. Not too bitter, very rich, and someone else... said it tastes like dark chocolate - it does! The atmosphere is so calming, especially if you sit outside. The service iswonderful too, the server was very kind and recommended us a few dishes. Will definitely come back again. Parking is also freeand available :) Read more
