What People Are Saying About Nyala
The Editor

Citysearch
In Short – Nyala features earthen colors, tribal music and the sharp aroma of garlic, ginger and red pepper. Both novices and eat-with-your-hands pros head to this African dining destination for injera--a tangy, flat crepe-like bread--to scoop up stews like the yebeg yebere wot with red wine-marinated beef, or doro tibs with chicken in an onion and tomato sauce. –

Terrible place stay away
by lazus7 at Citysearch
I was with my family of four on fairfax when we decide to try some ethiopian food, when we entered nyala the place looked nice and clean, we ordered the part platter for 4 people for $45. When we've received the food we were in shock, the plate had enough food to feed maybe 1 person. the food wasn't good and we were really dissapointed. will never go back again, if you are hungry stay away...
- Pros: none
- Cons: not enough food and not that tasty

Yummy!
by moni603 at Citysearch
I really liked the food and the atmosphere at Nyala. We ordered the meat & veggie combo plates and the asa fish dish. The asa fish was my favorite, probably because it was the most spicy. My friend loved the lentils and the cabbage on the veggie plate. The staff was nice but we did have to grab their attention. I don't mind doing that but I know others do. Overall, a great experience and I'll be going back with other friends!
- Pros: Great Food, Great Atmosphere, Cost
- Cons: None

Best Ethiopian in Los Angeles!
by cherryjones at Citysearch
This is my favorite Ethiopian restaurant on Fairfax. The food is deliccious, the prices reasonable, the atmosphere is very nice and the waitstaff friendly. They have large sampler platters for both vegetarians and meat eaters - a real bargain. The honey wine and Tusker beer are a plus.
- Pros: food, price, atmosphere, friendly service
- Cons: parking
