Emma was an amazing host and this was one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. She took the time to explain the menu in detail and asked what kinds of flavors and textures we preferred before giving recommendations. The food came out delicious and out of the handful of times I've tried Ethiopian cuisine, her cooking tasted the most authentic and was incredibly flavorful. We also wanted to visit her specifically for an authentic Ethiopian coffee experience and she did not disappoint. Emma really went above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable for us and even went out of

I ordered two of the vegan meals and lamb both with injera. They called me and said they did not have lamb ( not a big deal but mark it and say you don't have it). When the food finally came the cabbage was spoiled. Other parts of the lentils absorbed the flavor. I was disappointed. The owner was nice but when you spend over 50.00 dollars, nice doesn't cut cost.

Excerpt from Eat the World Los Angeles:
Regardless, it is lovely to be back inside places full of hospitality like Emma Habesha in Inglewood. Things may move a bit too slowly for city folks at times, but settle into the seats and the time frame and you are bound to be satisfied. The matriarch who does most of the cooking might also come to your table for ordering during weekday lunches when things are slower. Either way, it is a family affair through and through and it shows.

If you ain’t visit this place, something is definitely wrong with you lol!!!
I have nothing but RAVING reviews for this place! The restaurant is family owned, black owned, and Mama Emma is VICIOUS in the kitchen. The restaurant is definitely something that surprises you with a small Intimate air-conditioned inside to a full private backyard with plenty of seating and fire pits for heat in the chill cool of the night and restrooms are available. The food is absolutely A-1, Top Notch and I cannot begin to explain the comfort of eating such organic foods with a perfect blend of Ethiopian Spices

This is a classic hole in the wall restaurant that I will definitely come back to. Had the vegan platter with a fish dish and chicken stew. The meal was quite large and very filling, two people could not finish it! The fish dish said it was spicy but I didn't realize how spicy, luckily the fresh jalapenos are easy to remove if you don't like extremely hot food! Beautiful presentation and all of the vegetables were great but the red and green lentils were my fav. Each of the dishes had a distinct and delightful flavor and of course I had to try and Ethiopian beer which was tasty! I can easily recommend
