Amazing vegan options (more than half their menu)

If you haven't visited Edmonton, you should plan a visit! It's a great city with lots to see and do, while they don't have a freeway system - the roads are easy to navigate and efficient. In addition you can easily get all around the city via their light rail.
If you're flying from Seattle, you can fly out of SeaTac (2 hours), or drive to Vancouver Int'l Airport or *best* .. drive to and fly out of Abbotsford Int'l Airport, we found tickets r/t for about $150, flight is only 1.5 hours, and as it's a small airport so the experience is so lovely!

So, to the food! We knew we had to visit Gebeta thanks to their inclusiveness to vegans by having a separate section on the menu dedicated for vegans (see included video), this in addition to having both salad and appetizer options labeled specifically as vegan!!! We started with their delicious Azifa Dip (Special zesty dip, made with blended lentils, garlic, onions, jalapenos, dijon mustard and olive oil. (Served with your choice of injera or pita bread)). This dish had an incredible depth of flavor, a perfect pairing for injera or pita bread! For the main dish, we chose the Vegan Sampler (Combination of house vegan dishes including, spicy red lentils, yellow split peas, green beans and carrot, beets and potato, shiro, whole lentils and cooked spinach). You really can't go wrong here, such an incredible variety of smells, flavors and textures and a different combination in each bite, you control the balance ... you have the power :). I'm a mango fan so I couldn't resist a tall glass of Mango Juice.

If you're a fan of Ethiopian food and visiting Edmonton, or if you've never had Ethiopian and are curious to try, Gebeta needs to be right at the top of your restaurants to visit, the Vegan Sampler alone is easily worth "the price of admission".

Pros: Incredible depth of flavor, Over half their menu is vegan, It's Ethiopian food, need I say more !!!

Omg.

The vegan combo for two, with a variety of curries and veg, served on a giant chickpea pancake, is one of the best and most satisfying meals I’ve had in a very long time - I want every vegan in the world to try it!!

Pros: Huge portions , Incredible flavours , Great vibes
