The overall experience with Bole Ethiopian, was by far subpar. I ordered via Uber Eats, but contacted the merchant letting them know I'd be looking to cancel the order. The experience with Uber Eats was another story for another day. However, the restaurant staff at Bole Ethiopian lied and marked my order as completed/customer picked up, but never made my order. My husband did visit the restaurant prior to them making the order, informing the owner that we no longer wished to wait for the order to be prepared as the wait time exceeded what was advertised on Uber Eats. They informed me, that in order to cancel my order I'd need to do it through Uber Eats. Not a problem. Uber provided a run ar...
This was a place I'd had on my list and never got to it. Finally a reason to celebrate try out a new place my friend's 50th! We went on a Thursday evening which wasn't busy so no reservation required. We were fortunate enough to get seated in the section where Ethiopian Coffee Ceremonies are done. So traditional with the wood stools and woven baskets! For dinner we went for The Taste of Bole sampler to experience everything and share. To drink we shared a bottle of honey wine that's made in house. My friends said it was sweet and like nothing they'd had before. The sampler includes a mix of their greatest hits Kitfo, Doro Wot, Shirro, Veggies, Beef Awaze Tibs and Lamb Tibs. Served with injer...
This was our first visit to Bole, where we met my second cousin, who was in town for a brief six-hour layover. Since he had never tried Ethiopian food before, we decided to go all out and ordered Bole's Taste of Ethiopia, which was plenty for the four of us. To add some kick, we enjoyed a couple of ginger beers. I absolutely love how satisfying injera is, and it’s great to be able to scoop up all the different dishes with it. Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted by a strong scent of incense, which is typical in traditional Ethiopian restaurants, especially after coffee ceremonies. The host was exceptionally friendly, making our experience even more enjoyable.
The food and service were exceptional. I was seated promptly upon arrival without any wait, and my meal arrived at just the right time. I ordered the veggie lovers dish, and it was delightful! Everything was great; the atmosphere was pleasant and quiet, making it a nice spot to enjoy good food. There’s also a bar for those interested. Fifi was my server, and this is the second time I've had the pleasure of being served by her. She's a dedicated worker and provides excellent service. Thank you for the wonderful experience; I will definitely be back! Book a table now
I had an absolutely fantastic experience at this restaurant. I really loved the ambiance and the atmosphere—it made the food feel like home. I ordered the Bole plate and enjoyed every bit of it. I just wish there was more meat on the plate. Normally, I'm not a fan of beets, but they were delicious paired with the lamb. I also enjoyed the cabbage and collard greens. The honey wine was a refreshing complement to our meal. I would definitely come back to try more dishes!
I wish I had taken a picture of our platter before we demolished it, but we were more interested in the unique eating experience than the photo opportunity! Food is served on a platter and consumed with Injera, a type of flat bread. (If a tortilla married a pancake and had kids, they would be Injera! No plates or utensils. Everything was delicious!
Today for lunch after the church at 1 o'clock. Usually do to go. But today it wanted to eat. The food was delicious and the waitress was really nice. Ordering was quickly and not too long a waiting for food!! Definitely feel full, good and ready for a nap after eating here!
OMG, everything was absolutely amazing! This was my family's first time trying Ethiopian food, and everything rated a perfect 5/5. The waitress and bartender were superb as well. We'll definitely be back in a few weeks—totally worth the hour drive! Book a table now
I had an amazing experience trying Ethiopian food for the first time, and it was truly delicious. We ordered the sample plate, which was a large combination of meats and vegetables, as well as a dish called Bole Awaze Tibs made with lamb.
The food was disappointing and the service was terrible. This is not authentic Ethiopian cuisine. I enjoy Ethiopian food regularly, and I recommend heading to the Decatur/Memorial Drive area if you're looking for a quality meal.
