Almaz Cafe brings Ethiopian cuisine to Center City West Philadelphia, with a sister location in Norristown. The chef behind the kitchen has spent 20 years cooking professionally before landing here, and the restaurant sources its ingredients from local farmers markets rather than settling for whatever's easiest to move in bulk.
The space has built a reputation as a neighborhood find — regulars describe a cozy, intimate room and a staff that treats every table like they've been coming for years. Portions run generous, and the kitchen has clearly built a following on consistency as much as flavor.
Almaz Cafe is set up for both dine-in and takeout, with meals packaged to travel well for anyone eating at home.
