I had never eaten Ethiopian food before. It was an enjoyable experience. A friend and I came here to celebrate her graduation. Employees were so nice and the server was very patient. We ordered the beef and cheese sambussas. Delicious with the sauce they were served with. We shared the Demera Messob for 2: Doro Wot, Ye-beg Wot, Lega Tibs, Dinich Wot(very spicy , Tikle Gomen(omg! , Yatkilt Wat. Honey Wine Sangria and Indaba Sauvignon Blanc, South Africa were both delicious. I’m not into vodka but I’d surely order the sangria myself. We shared their take on Tiramisu which was fantastic! It has their homemade ice cream instead of the custard. I can’t recommend this place enough. It was delicious!!

From the atmosphere to the service to the drinks food, this place deserves more than 5 stars. My sister I were in town from Detroit to celebrate our birthday in Chicago for the weekend. We chose Demera as our dinner spot following a recommendation by someone in our party. We were scheduled for 6pm but called to switch the time to 8pm, as it worked best with plans. The hostess over the phone took care of it with no issues. Once we arrived, we were greeted warmly by the host, and those prese

The food was absolutely phenomenal! This is by far some of the best food my husband and I have ever had in a restaurant. The staff were extremely helpful and service was prompt. If we lived in the area, we would eat here all the time! Highly highly recommend this restaurant and my husband and I look forward to exploring more African cousine after this wonderful experience.
