A little about this place
About Lalibela Cuisine Bloorcourt Toronto
Lalibela Restaurant on Bloor Street West has served Ethiopian food in Bloorcourt since the early 1990s and is separate from the Lalibela on the Danforth. The menu covers shareable platters on injera, including a seven-item vegetarian platter, doro wat, kitfo, gored gored, tibs, dulet and lamb cha-cha served sizzling on a skillet, with lentil soup and a traditional coffee service. The room has painted walls and Ethiopian music, with live music on some weekend evenings, and the kitchen stays open until midnight. A bar now operates in the back, and Eritrean beer is served.
