“Went for the restaurant week menu, couldn’t have been happier! Highly recommend to anyone who might feel a bit intimidated by Ethiopian cuisine. My server Feven was sweet and helpful. She made my whole experience very pleasant and I can’t wait to go back!”
“Excellent experience. It was first time trying Ethiopian food and it certainly won’t be the last!”
“Be open minded and come try this place. Such a cool experience!!! I had lentils, mushrooms, chicken and lamb and the bread was a lil sour all the flavors hit the right spot. Delicious !!!! Had the lemon coconut cake so good!!! Also it’s so cute to see the art they have hung up with ppl eating on round tables etc. Great experience!!!!”
“This was my first time trying ethiopian food and I had high hopes but this place met all my expectations! Food and service were both top tier.”
“It may be one of the most authentic Ethiopian cuisine experiences in town. The injera has the iconic sourness, and no silverware was provided to encourage eating with the hands. Everything tasted great, except for the tiramisu, which, ironically, lacked the coffee flavor because the ladyfingers seemed to be left undipped.”
“This was my first time ever trying Ethiopian food so I told the waiter you know what just hook it up tell me what I should order bring me that and he did just that this food was when I tell you so delectable tasteful like the energy even in the food was amazing. Everything tasted amazing. The flavors were great. I’m already thinking about when I can go back thank God. It lived down the road. If you haven’t tried this place please do it. Also I’ll say I just felt a very genuine welcoming too when I walked through the door everyone was smiling and very greeting. So happy I found this place.”
“Demera is a perfect spot. Rich flavor, lots of different meat and veggies to choose from and great service. Uptown reigns as an incredible food neighborhood”
