Merkato Ethiopian Restaurant

I almost gave a 4 Star because A lot of the menu seemed the same with small changes in flavor and I felt I needed to order two things to get full. I like everything they sell in their menu. The Trout Fish is also a hit. A1 crispness. Injera, veggies, tomato salad, sambusa, lentil stew were all amazing. Truly authentic feel better than the Atl places we love. Nothing I didn’t like. We were delighted by the flavors and appearance. Water glasses a bit cloudy plastic. The beef ribs at $20 looked a bit small since I was very hungry. I’m glad I ordered the Lentil Stew and Sambusa because I ate it all to get full. Again I was very hungry so u may not need all that but an average man could indeed order two items from here to get full which puts u more like $40. I had a good home feeling here. Only one server. She was doing other business for the job but took care of us easily. I’d definitely come back here and refer others. The days of $10 $15 meals are leaving us. The quality is here which ads to the value

Delicious food and nice decor inside. honey wine vegetable platter and beef tibs

Been coming for over a decade! It's now our family tradition and my oldest child's favorite place to feast. Food is always HOT and FRESH! Prices have increased but that's to be expected over the years especially with California (a different topic). Favorite dishes are fish plate, chicken Tibbs, veggie plate, and kitfo (slightly cooked). Enjoy

Very nice ambient. Food was good. Service was ok. They do serves alcohol. I loved the decorations.

So good!! My wife and I hadn't tried this one yet. So glad we did! The lamb beef and veggie combos served on injira bread were showstoppers! Delicious! The service and atmosphere are warm and friendly. This place is a star in Little Ethiopia.
