AMAZING!!! Took a stop here during a long road trip and it was absolutely delicious. The warmest and friendliest environment, incredible service, and the food was beyond. Five of us shared the meat combo platter and the veggie combo platter and it was the perfect amount of food for our hungry bellies. Everything we ate was cooked to perfection and soooo flavorful. We shared a pot of the best Ethiopian coffee i've ever had and a lovely lady from the kitchen brought out the beans she was roasting for our pot so we could smell it before brewing. After our meal and coffee she also brought us a complimentary banana pudding for stopping in on our travels and asked us to come back anytime we're in...
What a great experience here! The food was yummy and the service was excellent. Gluten-free options are available. The place is clean, staff is friendly. The place is welcoming and the food is yummy… please note, Ethiopian food is consumed with your hands. There are utensils available if needed. Parking is on street and difficult. We were lucky to find a spot close by. The area can be kind of sketchy at times, and while we were there, several police were on foot and on the hunt for an individual. if you can overlook the other issues, it’s worth a trip. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options and gluten-free options Dietary restrictions: Has vegetarian options available Parking: Metere...
Walia is our go to when we have guests. Has never failed to impress! The staff is lovely, sweet, and helpful. Food is beautiful, truly. Everything is flavorful and distinct. We always get the vegetarian for two, all of the veggie options are incredible. Recommend adding the seitan tibs. The injera stays flowing. BYOB sweetens the deal. Finally, an amazing finale is topping your meal off with an Ethiopian coffee. Can’t recommend this place enough.
I've been to Walia many times over the last 10 years and it's pretty consistent and delicious each time. It is honestly my fav Ethiopian restaurant in the NJ NYC area that I know of. The food is always amazing the service is great. Highly recommend the misir watt, the cabbage and potato the string beans the pumpkin curry and the collard greens. We mostly get the veg combo for two and eat it for a few days. Can't go wrong going here!

I had a very poor experience with Walia. I put an order through Uber Eats and they called me and gave me many different reasons for why my food wasn’t going to come. First they said they were out of the food, then they said their Uber app wasn’t working, then they said the Uber driver’s card wasn’t working. After 15 min of getting nowhere they told me to call and complain to Uber for their own machine not working. Frustrating
Walia is a delightful find! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with authentic decor that sets the stage for a great meal. The food is outstanding, especially the injera and doro wat, and the vegetarian options are equally impressive. The service is friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. Whether you're new to Ethiopian cuisine or a fan, Walia is a must-visit. Highly recommended!
Best Ethiopian food I've had since spending time in the country.. almost 20yrs ago. And I have it often. So glad I found this place. It's hard with all these online reviews because so many reviews are positive it's hard to know what's the real deal. Well, this is it. Amazing flavor, food cooked to order, lovely people. Will be going back for sure. So happy to have found it!
The food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. There are plenty of high chairs for kids and the atmosphere is very relaxed.
