Been to E’Njoni Cafe a few times. Their veggie plates are a bit richer in texture than other spots in town, so really good for cold weather nourishment. We celebrated our kiddo’s birthday at E’Njoni last night. The host helped us ring in the cheer with a techno-flavor birthday tune. We had a blast! Will definitely be back.
Great food, and great service. Definitely a good place to go if you're looking for something hearty and healthy.
I got the kikil (goat stew) and a St George to drink. I showed up right as they were opening, but despite interrupting their prep they were very friendly and attentive. The stew was nice, the meat well seasoned and tender. Will definitely be back with my wife to try a larger variety of things next time!
The food was delicious. We ordered medium spicy. I wish we would have gone with hot. Nevertheless it was fantastic. The honey wine was refreshing and delightful. I had an espresso shot as well, which hit the spot. I would highly recommend this place. It's great for intimate conversation and I especially like the social aspect of enjoying sharing your meal, which to me is more personable.
Truly delicious food. Best plate I've had in a while. Bite of the night was the peanut yam soup with the injera. Be sure to order extra sides of their condiment sauces, it's worth it.
Absolutely delicious!! E’Njoni is a beautiful family run restaurant, the ambiance is wonderful and warm! The service was excellent! We loved the flavorful tea and the red lentil was our favorite dip! Highly recommend giving this place a try!

Excellent food, fantastic service, we will definitely be back!
One of the only dine-in Ethiopian restaurants, post-Covid, that we could find. Nice selection of offerings. The two stand-outs, out of the 5 vegetables and 2 meats, were the Kitfo and the yam dish (Siquar dinish). The atmosphere is pleasant, with nice artwork on the walls and music in the background. Three of us finished the platter with the delicious accompaniment of Tej. (honey wine). We'll return!
Such a good experience about the food and the service. This is my first time eating Ethiopian food and the ingero totally matched the spices in the vegetables.
OMG this place was so incredible! Great cocktails but don’t forget to order the tea! 🤯 we got the vegetarian platter for two and it was mind blowing!
One a scale from 1-2 1 being amazing and 2 being super dooper amazing i give this place a 5! Amazingly great simple wonderfully seasoned food served in the traditional style and well worth the price. I will be back!!
I love Ethiopian food. I ordered the veggie combo and an additional side of Injera bread. The food is tasty, but I expected it to be a bit more spicy from the description. Usually, I have a habit of ordering hot water and when I ordered that they served me Lukewarm water. Place seems to be kept cold and it does cool down the food faster.
Absolutely exceptional. I can't believe I've lived in Portland for two years before trying this place. Don't make the same mistake! I just got takeout - I live alone and I just ate my entire meal so fast you'd think someone was trying to take it from me. So much depth of flavor and the perfect amount of spice (just enough to get your nose running). I couldn't write this review fast enough. They are doing an incredible job, don't miss out!
The food is great, excellent choices for vegetarians and vegans. The service left a bit to be desired. The place was practically empty when we went, yet we waited too long for our food. What service we did get was nice and friendly though.
I ordered a vegetarian plate and all five were perfection, as was the injera. The bread was fresh and tender, and all the veggies were well seasoned and distinct. I’ve never had bad Ethiopian food, but this was among the best.
Friendly place to go, great food.
