Demera Restaurant

I had never tried Ethiopian food but wow!! I love it! My daughter in law brought us here. She’s been coming since she was a child. My favorite was the lemony cubes steak. We tried the big platter with 3 meats and 3 veggies. Potatoes were very spicy. Can’t wait to go back.

Went there a day before my birthday. Having lived in a few countries around the world, including Africa, I have to say that I was really looking forward to some authentic cuisine. This place was a major disappointment. Crowded tables really close together. If I want to share my discussions with anyone I would ask them to join in. I don't want to hear others personal problems during my dinner. No table cloth in sight. Most of the restaurant pictures show them? Food-mediocre at best, everything was barely room temperature, nothing stood out in flavor or presentation. Portions were tiny, one of the meat dishes had a cube of meat of about an inch long and wide, and falling apart. The pan baked bread which we ordered in addition to the meal was stale. You could actually see the sides were it was cut caving in. And it was cold and hard. The final straw was my desert, chocolate coconut pie. It came in frozen solid on the inside and the sides of it pouring around the plate, awful. Will not be back, ever. For a total of around $130 for two people I think I can find better places to eat.

First time trying Ethiopian cuisine and would gladly try it again. The restaurant was warm and inviting as was the wait staff. We had the sambussa sampler to start and would recommend everyone start with that. It was a great first step into the new cuisine and it was amazing. The drinks were good, but they didn't have a few we tried to order. Additionally, the QR code for the drink menu also didn't work. Actually, now that I think about it, they need to iron out the dinner menu QR code as well. The important stuff, the food, they have nailed down right though. The experience of eating with your hands and not even having silverware on the table was another fun aspect to the meal. The food was 5/5, just get the easy stuff figured out and this place would be tough to beat.

In Uptown to view murals and stopped by on a Sunday mid afternoon for a meal. Delicious! Service attentive, found solutions for food intolerance. Honey wine is made in house and very good, had the Dora Alicha chicken dish and enjoyed the experience. Entrance, seating and rest areas accessible.
