Kokeb Restaurant

I crave this place every so often. When I left Winnipeg for two years, this was my go to when I return to Winnipeg, I can’t find another Ethiopian restaurant so far that taste better than this. I usually do take out here but still prefers eating in because of the big plate. The combo platter that serves two is the best bang for you buck. It could feed up to 3 people!

*edit*Went into the restaurant to try the food. The food is better than delivery and looks of course way more appealing.I was impressed with their flavors on the delivery, and they continue to deliver in the dining room. The person serving us was just as nice as the person who was on the phone as both were very helpful.The pricing can't be beat. 2 combos including meat for under $22 before tax. Many other restaurants have it closer to $26.I give this a 5 with some stipulation. The food flavor and value is 5. The jalapeno sauce on the side really makes the food. If you can't have that then the food can depend. I wasn't a fan of the salad which is just salad with Italian dressing. The server was super friendly as well. It's an ok space and parking can be a pain. There were some issues with the bathroom but I figure that will be fixed in the future.---------------------------------------------------This is a delivery review.We ordered the kokeb combo that serves 2, plus an extra order of lamb.With orders over $20 it's free delivery with skip. You have to give a minimum 10% tip to driver. The odd thing was you couldn't choose a percentage. Just in 5% increments. (10, 15, 20)It was generous amount of food.We had spoken to someone from the restaurant before actually ordering as we had a question.The combo comes with choice of lamb, beef or chicken (you choose 2). You can also choose chicken breast or chicken thighs if you want chicken. There is also another option for deep fried meat?? We had minor issues with communications. After getting our food I do regret not following his advice. Trust the guy as he knows what most of his clients actually like. I thought I wanted something then realized my mistake after.We received 2 boxes of injera. I think it's because we had 2 orders of food?My one complaint was they hard packed everything into the first box. It would have been nice if items were spaced out a touch more and the meal given in 2 boxes instead of over lapping.Another thing the man on the phone seemed to be suggesting was for us to go in to eat. The food we received was very tasty, just not visually as appealing. I think had we been in the restaurant I might have loved it instead of just liking it.However, next time I would be encouraged to go.The injera came with a green sauce that was like a chili salsa. I really liked that.

Food was amazing. I've been at lunch and at dinner and both times it was good food. Service at lunch is super fast. Service was relaxed at dinner and no one else seemed bothered by it. The patrons at tables around me seemed like it was normal to hang out for long periods of time at this restaurant.

The food was amazing and as a vegan I appreciated the veg + lentil options.The server was excellent he went above and beyond to make us feel welcome!!!

Really really great experience. I got takeout and it was just such a nice and kind experience.My food was super super tasty.Absolutely zero complaints I rly hope this places stays, its a great place to eat near me :)

My favorite :). Best portions, best flavors and the hot sauce they make is delicious. They never fail me. I usually order through skip.

My first time having Ethopian food and first time at Kokeb!Delicious and flavourful dishes to be eaten with their fluffy and delicate injera bread! So filling and satisfying. Their beef samosas were packed with beef and fried to perfection. Do yourself a favour and try the stuffed jalepeno with onion and tomato. It is so fresh and crunchy! Such great contrasts in flavours— packed with veggies and vegetarian dishes. Truly fell in love with Ethopian cuisine here. Parking is limited!

The owner/chef was super friendly and made sure we all had an enjoyable time! The food was super good and reasonably priced. Portions were HUGE. Aesthetics are a bit rough but honestly still worth the visit!

Best dining experience I've ever had. Delicious authentic food.

Casual Ethiopian eatery with art on the walls, traditional fare & fixed-price all-you-can-eat lunch.I am very foodie. I love to eat and cook. The food gives us energy. Without food, there is no life. There are so many dishes available in today’s world some like Indian foods like Biryani, Dosa, Pav Bhaji, Pani Puri etc whereas some like western foods like Pizza, Burger, Noodles etc. Among the number of food, Pizza is my favourite food because it tastes and smells fabulous.No matter how much I have eaten, I never fail to make myself feel hungry when I have my favourite pizzas in front of me. Flavours are felt exploding in my mouth when I take the 1st bite of my pizza. My love for my pizzas is eternal and nobody on this earth could ever take this from me until I die
