Reviews

We went to Meda Ethiopian Restaurant and it was by far one of the best dining experiences we’ve had. The food was incredible! The kuanta firfir was packed with flavor, and the boksega cake was absolutely amazing. A huge shoutout to our waiter Melat, she truly rocked! Super friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Oh! Melat also suggested for my son to try the burger and it was fire!!! Totally would go again! Thank you Melat and keep up the great work! Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for authentic Ethiopian food and great service. We’ll definitely be back!

Delicious! We had the vegetarian platter + steak tips + tuna (raw mince with seasoning). Hanna took great care of us. She makes amazing coffee! Can’t wait to make it back on our next trip to the area.

We chose Meda to cater our baby’s baptism party and everything was perfect. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. The service was friendly, professional, and made the whole day easy and stress free. Meda helped make a very special day even better. Highly recommend.
