Hagere Ethiopian Restaurant

We dined today at this Ethiopian restaurant and had an exceptional experience. From the moment we entered, the warm and inviting atmosphere made me feel right at home. The staff was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout our visit. We ordered two different fish dishes, including one vegetarian and one beef dish! The highlight of our meal was the vegetarian combo we ordered. The flavors were simply amazing! Each dish was bursting with authentic Ethiopian spices and cooked to perfection. The variety of dishes in the combo allowed us to sample a wide range of flavors and textures, and I was thoroughly impressed with the freshness and quality of the ingredients. Not only was the food outstanding, but the presentation was also beautiful. Each plate was carefully arranged, showcasing the vibrant colors and enticing aromas. It truly added to the overall dining experience.

I just tried Ethiopian food for the first time at Hagere. I tried Yeheb Segeb Tibs(lamb with injera bread). It was spicy but I liked it very much. Couldn't eat all in one sitting so had for dinner later. Highly recommend Hagere if you've never had Ethiopian food and want to try it.

It's been a long time since I had Ethiopian food so I thought I would try this place out. It's in a strip mall where the parking up front says there is a 30 min limit and to park in the back for extended time. The back has a lot of parking but then you have to walk all the way around to get back to the front to go to the restaurant. There was one server so the service was on the slow side. It took a while to get the food and a while to wait to flag down the server to get the check. There are a few tables and a few booths. I know you are supposed to eat with your hands but I asked for a fork anyways and got a plastic fork. I got the vegetarian platter and the food was great. The bread has the sour tang. I love the variety of getting a platter. The food is definitely 5 stars, though I'm not a good judge of how authentic the food actually is but it tastes good. I got the mango juice which was also good (served in a styrofoam cup). Come for the food and be prepared to wait.

The food was absolutely amazing. It's been a long time since I had Ethiopian food. I just remember liking it. This just was everything I'd hoped for and better. I wish I'd received some instructions on how to eat the food, but I just dug in with my hands. It took a long long time to get the food which wasn't optimal but it was well. Well worth the wait. Everyone told me this is the best place and I have nothing to compare to since it was so long since I went, but I can't imagine it being better

Authentic and delicious Ethiopian meal with various dishes. The lamb was especially amazing. Very generous portion too, can easily be 3 meals. Highly recommend.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Sioux Falls! The service was top-notch—so warm and welcoming. The food was fresh, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. If you’ve never tried Ethiopian food before, this is the perfect place to start. Highly recommend the combo platter—it gives you a little taste of everything. I’ll definitely be coming back!
