Friendly spot to try Ethiopian food for the first time, vegetarian and meat
Eating options.
Best if you want to share your food and enjoy it with someone. Imported beer, they say it’s spicy but it’s really not, they have a hand washing station for before and after sessions
The whole plate was editable.
Wonderful authentic Ethiopian food. Freshly made with love. Great atmosphere. We head a lovely vegan meal, and great coffee.

This place is amazing. The food is stellar. I spent five weeks in Ethiopia and never ate this well. The menu is affordable. The location is great--two blocks from the Med, just west of Carmel Market. I'll be back over and over.

Attracted by the smell.
We were walking by on our way from the beach in the afternoon and there was a magic smell in the air, which lead us to the Balinjera.
So we reserved a table for dinner and it proved an excellent choice. Delicious food and very friendly service made it a great evening.

Best of the best! My first time trying Ethiopian and I left completely obsessed. The service was incredible - super warm and welcoming and very helpful to a first timer as to what to get.
Super fun experience and super yummy food.
Highly recommend Balinjera if you’ve never had or are a big fan of Ethiopian food!
