    Very tasty and lots of vegetarian options. Service was kind, and while the food does take some time to make, it's so fresh and flavourful. We will be coming back!

    Had the veggie delight for 1 as well as a chicken and beef dish.

    Intricate flavors and spices made this thoroughly enjoyable.

    Next I'll get the veggie delight for 2 and only one meat dish.

    WOW! Injera is perfect! I usually order 1 veggie, 1 beef and chicken combo. Fresh food, friendly down-to-earth people, I'm so glad I found a good Ethiopian place in the IE instead of having to drive all the way to LA.
    A bit pricey but it's the only one out here.This isn't a burger and fries meal for $6.99. This is authentic Ethiopian food so pay up!

    Truly a GEM and the only Ethiopian restaurant in the Inland Empire!

    I found this place on accident one day and immediately took a mental note of it. It is so nice being able to enjoy Ethiopian food and not having to drive all the way to Little Ethiopia in LA.

    The best part is that the food at Ayda is just as delicious as the restaurants in LA. I ordered the vegetarian platter for two, with a side of stew. My brother ordered a non-vegetarian platter with a side of beef. He is less inclined to enjoy Ethiopian food than I, yet loved everything. My platter was really delicious. We cleaned the whole thing, in fact. There is also an option for a vegan platter as well.

    Truthfully the only way I think this restaurant could improve is in the wait time for the food to arrive. It look around 40 minutes for the food to arrive the first time we went but it came out much quicker the second time. Regardless, a small price to pay!

    This is my second experience having Ethiopian cuisine. My first was in San Diego and I have to say this is like the fast food version of that place, taste wise. It was not terrible but also was nothing to write home about. It didn't leave me excited to come back or to try more. I didn't even finish the leftovers. I tried the Vegetarian Delight and Doro Wot (Spicy Chicken). They just weren't appealing to me. The price doesn't match the quality. I would just skip out on this one. I was also given a cup of water that took me back to hot summer days when we would play outside in the water and drink from the hose because that's exactly what it tasted like. Anyone who has ever drank from the hose will know the taste I'm talking about. If you decide to eat here do yourself a favor and pass on the water.
