AMAZING FOOD!

Tried Ambo for the first time and couldn’t believe what I had been missing! Half the menu is vegan and the portions are massive if you get your own plate. Also, super reasonable pricing as you can easily make 2 meals out of it. I was able to try all 3 kinds of lentils plus one side. I had the potatoes/carrots for me side but have heard the kale is delicious. I’ll definitely be back!

Pros: Portion size , Injera yum!

This is awesome- I didn't know you could try all 3 for a reasonable price... How much was this? Do you just have to ask for them to split a full size order into smaller portions of all 3? Thanks in advance!

It was the same price, $16.50! They gave us the option to try all 3. Guessing it was the same size portion as you’d get with just one of them. You can def just ask next time you go. Love this place!

Excellent Bellingham vegan option

Tried visiting when they were closed for a summer break and was pleasantly surprised to find them open on Labor Day. Added to my surprise with the excellent quality of food! Didn’t expect to find a solid Ethiopian option in Bellingham. The portion was huge and the friendly staff let the three vegan options split on one plate. Could definitely split this for two - and it would be a steal of a deal for a dinner out! Will 100% return

Deserves a 5

We were walking by and drawn to the words Ethiopian Cuisine. Not planning to pick up food, we decided to stop and check out their menu to scour for vegan options. As we were perusing the menu outside a group of 3 walked out and told us it was great. One of them was vegetarian and gave us her thoughts and said they were good at explaining what they offered. We went in and were greeted by the kindest female chef who did indeed explain our options and suggested we try 1/2 orders with two options. We placed our order and waited a few minutes while I then found Ambo on Happy Cow. This has been one of the best spontaneous food decisions we have made. As all other reviews have said, the food is fantastic. Service is great and it is a small “hole in the wall”. We will be back!!!

Pros: Chef owned and operated , Reasonable pricing, Love is in the food

Good food and amazing service

The vegan options were good. (The injera was on the thin side which made using it to scoop up the yummies on the plate a bit difficult)
The service from the wonderful person who took the order was outstanding.

Pros: Great service, Good food, Well priced

Loved it!

Thrilled to have some delicious Ethiopian in the area! There are 3 vegan mains and I was told all sides are vegan except for the cottage cheese.

Ambo is THE BEST for flavorful vegan options

The owner is the sweetest, warm hearted lady. The food is amazing. Order a #2 with a side of kale, a #3 with a side of potato and carrot stew and 2 extra anjera for an amazing platter for 3 people. The new locations atmosphere is clean and inviting. A must visit for vegans in Bellingham. 100 stars!

Pros: Amazingly healthy and tasty options, cheap

Cons: Not available in injectable form
