We just got back from Aida's- a wonderful small Ethiopian restaurant in Bayonne. Having just moved to the surrounding area, I was craving Ethiopian food but didn't feel like going into the city to get it. The owner is wonderful and dotes over you while giving you your space. We really enjoyed the food as well. It does take a while for the food to be ready so if you are starving, call ahead-they do have a website.

Aida's Ethiopian Cafe is a cozy little place that serves up 100% authentic, traditional, delightful Ethiopian dishes. Serving both meat and vegetarian dishes. The food is very earthy and has wonderful textures and aromas. The portions are generous while the prices are very reasonable. Keep in mind it is BYOB (I recommend a Spanish Rioja or Tampernillo, red or white). In keeping with Ethiopian style the meal is a shared experience that allows everyone to sample and taste the wide range of flavors Ethiopian food has to offer. My wife and I are locals and visit nearly once a month and we are never let down by the quality of the food! If you love food adventures Aida's is a must try! Pros: Delightful food, Warm friendly cozy, BYOB a pro to me Cons: Decor is a bit sparse, BYOB a con to some

Aida's is a wonderful restaurant with extremely friendly service and dee-licious food (that is fresh and not pre-cooked). Service can sometimes be slow because the owner is also the cook, the waitress, the hostess, and the cashier, but it is well worth the wait. She takes care of you and makes you feel at home there - showing you the right way to eat Ethiopian food, customizing your order, making conversation, and ensuring that you enjoy your dining experience. It is definitely what Bayonne needed. Check it out! Pros: Delicious food, Friendly service, Intimate setting Cons: Sometimes slow
