About us

A Taste of Tradition

At Gebeta, we believe that food is best enjoyed together. That’s why we serve our authentic Ethiopian dishes on a large, communal platter known as the ‘gebeta,’ traditionally presented on a ‘mesob.’ A soft, spongy bread called injera forms the base, topped with a vibrant array of stews, vegetables, and flavorful sauces.

Sharing is at the very heart of Ethiopian culture, and our dining experience is designed to foster connection and create lasting memories. We invite you to join us and discover the joy of sharing a meal at Gebeta.

    The best Ethiopian restaurant in Edmonton. Honestly, everything we ate was 1000000/10. Worth every penny and worth the try.

    Gebeta Ethiopian Cuisine - Edmonton, Alberta Canada

We had the pleasure of visiting Gebeta on our final day in Edmonton last May before heading out to the airport.

Have you ever been to Edmonton? Would you be surprised to hear that it's QUITE the vegan mecca, there's so many vegan places and foods to enjoy out there.  What's more, it's a very quick visit from Seattle, only a 2 hour flight.  You don't have to fly out of Seatac, you can drive to Vancouver International Airport to save a couple of dollars or for the absolute cheapest and most enjoyable experience, drive to Abbottsford International Airport where you can catch a flight that's super inexpensive (I think our r/t flight was about $150, give or take) and only 1.5 hours.  Getting in/out is a breeze because it's a small airport and the experience  is so relaxing and enjoyable, similar to flying out of Paine Field in Everett, if you've ever had the pleasure.  There's lots to see and do in Edmonton including the largest mall in North America, so large that it includes an amusement park inside the mall. Edmonton doesn't really have a freeway system, which we found odd ..but.. that doesn't hinder traffic at all.  The roads move briskly, taking you where you need to go and in addition, they have light rail out that way as well, which we rode and it was clean, fast and efficient!

So, back to the food!  We knew we had to visit Gebeta thanks to their inclusiveness to vegans by having a separate section on the menu dedicated for vegans (see included video), this in addition to having both salad and appetizer options labeled specifically as vegan!!!  We started with their delicious Azifa Dip (Special zesty dip, made with blended lentils, garlic, onions, jalapenos, dijon mustard and olive oil. (Served with your choice of injera or pita bread)).  This dish had an incredible depth of flavor, a perfect pairing for injera or pita bread!  For the main dish, we chose the Vegan Sampler (Combination of house vegan dishes including, spicy red lentils, yellow split peas, green beans and carrot, beets and potato, shiro, whole lentils and cooked spinach).  You really can't go wrong here, such an incredible variety of smells, flavors and textures and a different combination in each bite, you control the balance ... you have the power :).  I'm a mango fan so I couldn't resist a tall glass of Mango Juice.

If you're a fan of Ethiopian food and visiting Edmonton, or if you've never had Ethiopian and are curious to try, Gebeta needs to be right at the top of your restaurants to visit, the Vegan Sampler alone is easily worth "the price of admission".

    What a stunning place this is!
Last night, I had the pleasure of dining at Gebeta's cousin restaurant and bar with my family and friends.
The atmosphere was vibrant, filled with the rich aromas of authentic dishes that truly reflect our cultural heritage. We enjoyed an array of flavors, but I was particularly captivated by the “lebleb tibs” I chose. The dish was perfectly seasoned, and the spicy kick added an exciting depth to the meal. Each bite was a delightful experience, and the warm, inviting ambiance made our evening even more special. It was a memorable dining experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to explore delicious cultural cuisine!
