Tabor Ethiopian Restaurant

Guys try this place the best food in town

First time having Ethiopian food and it was really good.

March 2024 update: I have changed my review back to 5-stars after 2 years of a decline in flavor and quantity. The food flavors are amazing again (don't let the new chef leave). But the carryout quantity given is inconsistent -- twice they gave me a lot and 3 times they didn't. The price has gone up at least 20% in 4 years. Parking on the street is Pay-to-Park at a kiosk with coins or card at $1.25 an hour on the same block or cheaper if you go 1 block up; May 2022 Update: Despite seeing the recent negative review about a small carryout portion size, I decided to roll the dice. Unfortunately, she was right. The carryout portion is 1/3- 1/2 less food than 2021. Because their menu prices were already increased 15%+ in 2021, it would be too much to increase them again, so I assume the carryout portion size has now been decreased dramatically instead. I doubt I'll be going back. So sad how both restaurants and consumers are affected by price increases; March 2022 Update: The chef has clearly changed in the past few months, unfortunately. It's not as good as it was before. The greens and beets are now milled down to a fine pulp, whereas before they were chunky, and recognizable, which was visually and texturally more appealing. Most importantly, the flavors have changed (spice wise) and are not as good. Bring back the old chef! Interior design wise, the renovations look great; 2020-21 review: We get carryout from here monthly now during the pandemic. The vegetarian sampler options are really satisfying with so many flavors. Sometimes they have everything listed on the menu and other times they are out of collard greens or beets. Call ahead to make sure they are open before stopping by. This is the best Ethiopian we have found in Baltimore. You can pay by cash or credit card. Despite the area being a bit sketchy, we have never had any issues.

The food was excellent and the drinks are delicious.

1. After nearly an hour after ordering food, we still had not received our food, which is weird since most Ethiopian dishes are not made to order given the length of time needed to cook it. 2. Service otherwise was not terrible it just was not good. 3. The food was good if you have never had experiences with Ethiopian food; however, if you have had Ethiopian food it is merely satisfactory. 4. Price not expensive but also for the amount of food not a value. This was the first time we have ever been able to finish a dinner sampler. 5. Atmosphere, we didnt feel welcome. Overall, we were not impressed.

Wasn't my best visit. The food needs needs to be more consistent...

The minute I smelled the frankincense burning I knew it was the real deal. The beautiful Ethiopian music and lovely Server were a delight. The best Ethiopian Restaurant in Baltimore. Coming from DC where we have great restaurants I am so happy to find this AWESOME PLACE.
