Catering for our gluten-free dieters. Lemat Ethiopian Restaurant and Café is the place to enjoy delicious food, warm-hearted hospitality in the ambience of early home of civilizations. Lemat is named after a hand-woven Ethiopian basket for injera, a large sourdough flatbread (heaven for gluten free dieters). Our vegetable, vegan and meat dishes are served in the form of wot, a thick stew, or tibs, a sautee of a grilled meat along with vegetables, served over injera. To commemorate that the origin of coffee is firmly rooted to Ethiopia’s history, Lemat also serves patrons with traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony. The displays in the restaurant are additional attraction on their own and tell the story of Ethiopia which many historians believe is the cradle of mankind.
