Oromian - Salt Lake City

Very yummy, but also very slow. But worth it if you have 2

I lived in DC for 17 years and have been to many Ethiopian restaurants and Oromian is easily one of the best I’ve been to ever. Would absolutely recommend! (Definitely try the Kuanta Fir Fir).If you’re going with a large group 6-7+, call ahead a day before to let them know!

Food cleanliness: 4.5/5This is your sign to break out of the mold and try Ethiopian food! We headed over to Oromian Restaurant and it was a such a fun experience! We ordered the Ultimate Platter that had small portions of beef, chicken, cabbage and onions, beets and potatoes, collard greens, and lentils all cooked with Ethiopian spices to perfection! The platter came Budenaa, which is a spongy flatbread that you use as a utensil to pick up the other food.We also ordered a few Sambusa which is very much like a Samosa fried dough triangles with meat!Would love to come back and try other items!My only complaint was that when we used the salt and cayenne shakers, they did not look or feel very clean. There was definitely a layer of oil caked with dust/old food from when others have used it. Other than that, everything else was fine.

The restaurant is beautiful and full of art and the food is delicious. I've had food from the Lalibela region of Ethiopia; there were some new dishes here and slightly different flavors which I enjoyed a lot. The food is also very affordable. I did not take a photo until we had eaten most of the food. Highly recommend!Edit: Maybe it's not the region I'm not an expert in Ethiopian food. Either way it is good.

My husband and I ate here for the first time a couple of months ago as we like trying different ethnic foods and it had good reviews. The service we got was very poor even though we were the only customers there. They were unfriendly and unresponsive. I even had a hard time getting toilet paper for the bathroom. The chicken in my dish was very dry and and the dish was overall quite bland. I could only eat a little bit of it. Should have sent it back. We are definitely not ever coming back here. Extremely disappointing experience in every way.
