Mudai Ethiopian Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
Highly recommend the chicken sambussa appetizer, lamb stew Beg Alicha Wot, and okra Bamia Tips! Good atmosphere.
Im rating Mudai 5 stars because multiple people I know really love the food here! Service is really good, ambiance seems geared towards an Ethiopian crowd which speaks to the authenticity of the place.
Got the veggie combo my husband got the chicken. It was all really good, the yellow lentil dish was a little hard, but flavors were great and they werent oily. My husband said the chicken wasnt very spicy like it said. Would eat here again. Parking was a little hard. Service was really nice.
I tried Ethiopian food for the first time, the food was good and delicious. It might have been my taste but I did not like it. Nothing to take away from the restaurant of there servers, they did a good job of making and handling the food. Service and atmosphere was excellent, were extremely polite.
We had 3 women share 2 of the vegetarian combo dishes and one person had a chicken with turmeric and ginger. The vegetarian combo came with 4 dishes and salad. Two of the dishes were unbelievably delicious and with very different spices!! ...
Loved the vegetarian combo and mushroom main course we had here. Delicious food, excellent customer service, and lovely environment! Our waitress was amazing and helpful. Kids loved the food too and devoured it all! ...
Chicken tibs with injera. Lightly spiced using turmeric, ginger and onions. Nice dining room and friendly service.
Traditional and authentic Ethiopian food! Ordered the meat platter with another beef stew dish, all served on the pancake whose sourtaste I especially loved! Delicious and satisfying! Will come again!
