Mahi's Ethiopian Kitchen is a bright and artful little gem of a place that delighted our senses from the moment we smelled the incredible aromas of food luring us around the corner and into this neat alleyway cafe. With smells that good we knew we were in for a real adventure, and Mahi's cooking truly does amaze! New to the Ethiopian food experience, and with so many vegetarian options on the menu, we decided to try the vegetarian sampler platters. Choose your samples from a variety of dishes available that day, and Mahi will serve them up on a large platter of Teff bread, which is the perfect pallette for tearing into and sampling everything with. So much flavor and wonderful spices! Loved it!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

The only Ethiopian restaurant in Columbia making it the best Ethiopian restaurant in Columbia. Seriously, the chef and owner, Mahi, truly cares to produce amazing Ethiopian food and she does remember you along with what you like to eat and how spicy. The food here is always delicious and the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. The inside of the restaurant is small with only about 6 - 7 tables. The service is always on point and most importantly the food is amazing, I’ve never been disappointed.

It was so exciting to go somewhere with so many vegetarian options! It was also my first time trying Ethiopian food and it was so delicious and nutritious. I got the vegetarian platter and got to try a sample of 5 of the vegetarian dishes. My taste buds were very happy.
