Another gem of a restaurant that opened right before Covid. Delicious Ethiopian food, a casual atmosphere, and super friendly service. Thought I’d share. This is Berhane, the sweet owner. Make sure to say hello. You’ll love it. ? — at Ethio Beans.

Excellent food with tons of flavor and a fun dining experience

AMAZING!!! The best Ethiopian food I’ve had since being in Ethiopia. Ethiopia is going through a brutal civil war so please support this restaurant and it’s workers they have families back in Ethiopia. Coffee is amazing! the tej (honey mead or wine) is amazing. The little shop that’s attached is exactly like a little store you’d see in Ethiopia. It brought back so many good memories!!

We got the Ethiopians combo and added goat to it and the food was excellent. We have had Ethiopian food many times before but this was really great and to have it so close in the suburbs and not have to drive to Chicago. One of the reviews suggested getting extra bread so we did that and we had plenty for the whole platter. Got a pound of fresh roasted Ethiopian Yirgichiffe coffee beans to go. They smell amazing. Everything was very reasonably priced for the portions.

So delicious and despite not advertising so, their meat is zabiha! Food and coffee was delicious, I can’t wait to go back.

Fantastic atmosphere, unique dining experience, friendly and casual service, topped off by tasty food that was fun to eat (no silverware, just like in Ethiopia). Highly recommend, it's great for sharing!

I am so glad I found this hidden gem of a restaurant! If you are vegetarian and haven't tried this food yet, you are missing a lot. If you eat meat, lucky you! There are great menu options. It's SOUL food to the max!!

Ethio Beans is an amazing experience. You feel at home with fragrant incense and a kind, welcoming wait staff. The food is absolutely scrumptious. What a blessing.

Such a unique experience. Our first time trying Ethiopian food and the woman working gave us great recommendations. We got the combo platter (a little bit of everything) and the coffee ritual. Everything was wonderful!

Truly friendly service and authentic food. Everything was great, highly recommend stopping in.
