What User likes about Walia Ethiopian:
they have a complete section of vegetarian dressing and I asked which were or could be made vegan. I was told that all vegetarian dishes were already vegan! I have the vegetarian sampler for 2 and it was so amazing. that was my first time that I tried Ethiopian food, and I will come back in any case! View all feedback. What Jasmine a doesn't like about Walia Ethiopian:
Okay service but I would have to say the service surpassed the food which is by my rating is on the higher side. We didn’t really enjoy the food as we thought we would, though they were nice people. I just probably wouldn’t return. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30 Food: 1 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 2 View all feedback.

Walia offers a mixed bag of reviews, with some customers praising the excellent service, diverse vegetarian options, and delicious food. However, others were disappointed with the service on delivery platforms and felt that the food did not meet expectations. Despite some mixed feedback, the restaurant's authentic Ethiopian cuisine seems to be a hit among diners, with many recommending it as a must-try spot. The welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, and variety of flavorful dishes make Walia a top choice for those craving a unique dining experience in the NJ NYC area.
