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

A group of 5 went there this past weekend, completely forgetting to reserve a table on a busy Friday night. After driving around and around for parking, we were lucky at getting a table after waiting only 6-8 minutes! We read the reviews before arriving, and I must say we don't believe everything we read. The restuarant was great... the food was amazing.... and the service was terrific. (Am I making the point yet?) The server/manager recommend all of our entrees (which we all thought was weird and funny), but we trusted his judgement and loved every bite of our meals. We tried some appetizer, some samples of their desert, and the green mint tea was awesome. Best of all, the bill was SO cheap! We tipped very generously because everything was perfect. I highly recommend taking a date there, or a group of friends. Did I mentioned they sat us quickly after sitting 2 parties of 18-20 people each! I felt like they went the extra mile and they deserve to be noticed.
Pros: BYOB, FOOD, PRICE
Cons: hmm... tight squeeze between tables

I've been here a few times for hookah, and I will definitely be back. I recommend making reservations for a room, because the ambience is part of the experience. Lounge on silk pillows and enjoy a dimly-lit and tastefully-decorated room reminiscent of an opium den, sans opium. The service here was great, even when I had a problem. My order of hummus was disappointing (I'm not sure what they did, but it didn't taste like any other hummus I've ever had), and when I brough this to the attention of our server, she graciously exchanged it for an order of Baba Ganouhj.
The shisha has been strong and flavorful every time—I love the chocolate mint.
Pros: flavorful shisha, good service, nice ambience, comfortable
Cons: you have to pay $3 for water

This was my first time having Ethiopian and I really loved it! While being the only patrons we received excellent service and delicious food. I would highly recommend it for newcomers to Ethiopian or the seasoned ones (as my fiance has had it and claims Queen of Sheba is a high caliber). There was nothing daunting about the meal and it was a great price! Bring people in here as this is a restaurant that deserves to stay around. It's the only Ethiopian I know of in Chicago.
Pros: First-time w/ Ethiopian was delicious - BYOB - Great prices!
Cons: We were the only patrons

This tasty hidden gem is a must eat place. Not fancy - just really cozy and casual. But the food is flavorful, fresh, and like eating at a ethnic home kitchen. I love the Moroccan eggplant. Cafe ole is better than starbucks! GREAT VEGITARIAN spot. Features a home made soup EVERYDAY. Family owned and run. Super loving welcome to all who dine. Call first as they observe holidays and are closed 1 day a week. Always have seating never had to wait!! Oh and SUPER CHEAP PRICES!!!!
Pros: delish
Cons: NONE
