Shebelle Ethiopian Restaurant and Cafe

Delicious food with incredible taste and variety. Certainly a hidden gem of Moonee Ponds.

We visited with a group of friends and were provided a Traditionally prepared array of mouth watering dishes, after some savoury dips with wafer bread as an entree.

The hosts are extremely professional and friendly, providing every care to please.

Most of the dishes are vegetarian but you can order some meat dishes.

I came here with all small group the other day, and it was all of our first times trying Ethiopian food... We all loved it! There were plenty of vegetarian options for my partner and I, and we opted for the chickpea vegetable dish and the pumpkin dish. They were both absolutely delicious and we have more than enough for leftovers the next day. The owner is also super friendly and great to chat to. We will definitely be returning and recommending to people!

Had a great (super filling!!) shared set of dishes with some friends and at an amazing price, couldn't not tip!! Was my first introduction to Ethiopian cuisine and I'll definitely be back. Loved the music and the decor and of course the delicious food!!

Really delicious wholesome food. Will be back!

Beautiful food! Great portion size! Super friendly dude in the kitchen! Personal favourite is the eggplant dish!

Such good food, all dished are delicious can't go wrong. Great value as well. Friendly family. Get down there and get a feed you won't regret it.

Fantastic tasty food, had the major platter to share, veggies and meat were just great. Staff super friendly. Highly recommend!!

This place definitely has 5 stars I've been here a number of times. As for those cheap Groupon people go in there and actually try the food its not expensive either giving this place a bad review because of that is just poor and nasty!

One if the excellent restaurant visited in Melbourne...run by a family...very friendly explained each and every items..how they prepare n recommend really awesome food (had vegetarian food) . Went twice , one with 11 people n 2nd time with 6 people

This is a hidden gem. Great traditional North African food. Don't be put off by it being on the other side of the railway from Puckle Street. It's worth finding and trying. Enjoy.

Food fantastic, coffee excellent, service really familial.

Really friendly family run business. All the food is amazing at a great price. The fish tibs dish is my favourite.

First experience EXCELLENT. Had the fish tibs and lamb meatballs with couscous, the flavours were incredible. Fantastic food
