Phoenix May Brunch

Brunch is Calling!

Get ready to join Brown Skin Brunchin’ this month at Café Lalibela at 12:00 PM for a memorable brunch experience!

Café Lalibela’s menu is a testament to the depth and diversity of Ethiopian cuisine. Each dish is crafted with care, using time-honored recipes that have been passed down through generations. The menu features a wide range of options, from hearty meat stews like doro wat (spicy chicken stew) and key sega (spicy beef) to flavorful vegan dishes like misir wat (spiced lentil stew), fosolia (green beans and carrots), and gomen (collard greens).

One of the restaurant’s most beloved offerings is its injera—a spongy, slightly tangy flatbread that serves as the foundation of every Ethiopian meal. Café Lalibela offers injera in two forms: one made from a mix of teff, barley, and wheat, and another made from 100% teff, which is gluten-free. This attention to detail ensures that every guest can enjoy an authentic Ethiopian dining experience, regardless of dietary preferences.

The restaurant also offers combination platters, such as the Lalibela Deluxe and Vegan Deluxe for parties of two, and the Lalibela Exclusive and Vegan Exclusive for larger groups. These platters allow guests to sample a variety of dishes, making them perfect for sharing and for those new to Ethiopian cuisine.
