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.

In a word, fantastic. I ordered the golden tibs lunch and it was so delicious. The beef cubes were actually quite tender and full of flavor. The sauce they are smothered in has an incredible flavor. The rosemary is not dominant, but definitely noticeable. Just an incredibly balanced flavor. Then you dip it in the seasoning they offer on the side. That stuff has some serious kick. I loved it. It allows for the perfect amount of heat. Also I had a couple bottles of Asmara lager to go with it. It's a solid beer that I would be happy to drink again. Sadly, they did not have the sambusa today. I really wanted to order it, but it was not availbale. All in all though, fantastic place. This was a great decision for lunch and I will definitely be back.

An incredible new updated look, vibe and meal!! Service was amazing, and food was beyond bomb.So delicious fresh and rich in flavour. We got the 3 platters GODEN TIBS is a must have, Gomen be-sega and dorowot (short ribs, collard green and chicken stew) which was plenty for 3 very hungry people . Best of all is the owners, full of joy and charisma. Later we noted that not only did we enjoy the flavors, it felt so nourishing and made us feel good, Plus a bar with beer and liquor There is covered outdoor seating with music not too loud gave authentic Ethiopian feel, The server was friendly and attentive... Definitely coming back. A great special night with my family. Thank you for a wonderful night!!.The Habesha Garden Restaurant truly delivers an authentic and delicious Ethiopian dining experience right here in Columbus, can't wait to come back highly recommend !
