some of the best food in the city. i have been to kokeb on several occassions and i have to say, it is amazing. for those who have never tried ethiopian food, it's completely unique (for example, you use copious amounts of a form of fermented bread as both your plate and your utensil). service is friendly, and very laid-back... depending on your preference this can be either a good thing or bad thing.

i have recommended kokeb to many people; the food is delicious, homemade, genuine cooking and the prices are beyond reasonable. their lunch buffet is dirt cheap. kokeb is not only the best ethiopian food in the city, but also some of the best food in winnipeg period. highly, highly recommended.

first time at kokeb. very tasty food in large quantities at a great price. everything we had was excellent: the vegetarian platter, the vegetarian samosas, the eritrean beer and coffee. i'll be back for all of them. the server came to offer more lentil stew when he noticed we had finished eating that item on our shared platter. there were left overs when we were done. you won't leave hungry - even without dessert.

eating with the our hands, not something we do often, was made easier for use, as the instructions were under glass on the table.

quiet, clean, comfortable atmoshpere. friendly, efficient service. well worth one or more visits.

what have i been missing?!?!. our first shot at ethiopian food turned into one of the best food experiences of my life!

this unassuming little place just blew my mind!

three of us shared a large combo platter, which is made up of a half-dozen or more of their menu items, and each one is simply amazing! i have no idea what the items were, other than lentils, chicken, etc.....but the spices! the flavors were simply out of this world!

i loved the 'eating with your fingers' approach, and the large, shared platter of food. it made the meal so personal and friendly.

it's a family run place, and everyone we spoke with were great!

this is my new favorite place!

tasty, cheap and fast. food is great here - flavourful, fast and cheap. communication with staff can be difficult at times but the staff make every attempt understand and accommodate you. this definitely give the "other ethiopian restaurant" in the city a run for its money.

what an experience. we have lived in the area for years and always walked passed this place. it really is a hidden gem. open very late & with amazing food, portions & prices. loved the vegetarian platter & samosas. wasn't sure what food was supposed to be served hot or cold, but everything was delicious as it was.

very impressed. my sister and i went to kokeb today for the first time... it was also our first time trying ethiopian food! we were waited on promptly and our food was served very quickly. the waiter asked us if we were first timers or not, and showed us how to properly eat our food (cha cha and doro wot). the portions were very big and we struggled to eat half of our food. it was delicious and the flavours were amazing. the waiter even gave us a small vegetarian option (at no charge) to try so that we could become more familiar with this type of cuisine. the value was amazing, as each plate was under $10. we were very impressed by the service we received and how delicious the food was! if i didn't have leftovers, i'd be back again tomorrow!

best ethiopian restaurant in winnipeg.. the food is similar in quality to massawa's but the service is much quicker and the portions are larger. expect a 15 minute wait here rather than a 2 hour wait like at massawa's. it's dirt cheap to boot. the first time i came here i split one of their platters with someone; it was spicy and delicious and gave you a good variety of food. i'm not sure if between the two of us we were even able to finish it all and yet the bill came up to less than $20. their ethiopian coffee is also excellent and i would recommend trying it as well. so take my advice, give massawa a pass and come here instead.

is it slloowwww?. kokeb sounds like a good option, especially for someone who has always endured the insanely slow service and essentially torturous experience that is trying to get a meal from the massawa.
my questions are: how does the food at kokeb compare with massawa, and, most importantly-does your food arrive before you pass out from hunger?

yummy stuff. i can't judge much for the atmosphere of kokeb as i have only ordered takeout but what i can talk about is the food and it is indeed great.

i've walked by this restaurant a great many times while doing my daily errands and always took a whiff of the amazing smells that came out of there until i couldn't take it anymore and decided to order. it wasn't my usual food fare before but i'm glad i took the risk.

so far i haven't gotten further than ordering the kokeb bayaynetu as it is so yummy that it prevents me from trying anything else. this restaurant is definitely worth a visit. great prices and great food
