Tiru Ethiopian Restaurant

Tiru was absolutely delicious. Our server was polite and informative. The only thing the restaurant was missing was Ethiopian music but I hardly noticed since we went with a group and talked anyway! It was clean, including the bathroom! I will return!

This place had been on my list of places for a while now. A friend and I shared the Tiru special and key wot was my favorite part. Everything was delicious for sure and I recommend getting the special to be able to try more things. Next time, I’ll get just the key wot because I liked it SO MUCH.

The vibe was quiet and chill which I love and the waitress was so kind and helpful. Cannot wait to go back!

New Food Friday! What an excellent place to explore. We asked the staff, "What would you recommend?" She recommended for the size of our party 1 vegan & 1 meat platter. With a party of 4, we [words cannot express] our enjoyment of the cuisine. The menu is very, very much gluten-free, friendly. The atmosphere was inviting and warm. Will definitely come back for more, label us impressed.

Food was excellent. Service was great. The tea is delicious and so was the coffee. You can book a private coffee ceremony. We were a big group (13) and they accommodated us without any problem. This a family owned restaurant with amazing food. Worth the detour.

Best Ethiopian food I’ve ever had! Super tasty and made with lots of love! Only thing is the heat could of been turned up a notch or two…

Fantastic food with a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The staff is friendly; the food is flavorful and exotic - but not spicy if you're afraid of that. I ordered the meat lovers platter to try a bit of everything and it did not disappoint. The chicken (doro wot) and the beef tibs were excellent.

It is a quiet and cozy restaurant with a homey feel. The food is amazing. There are so many layers of flavors and truly something for everyone. The prices are super affordable too!

It was my first time having Ethiopian food and i will definitely be coming back. The food was great and it was a good quality for the price. To the people here complaining about the food taking a long time, just go to McDonald’s up the street next time where you belong. When we were there, it was just one person taking orders and cooking and she had hustle.

Great place to eat in Lincoln. We ordered the Tiru special which had a great variety of Ethiopian foods, all of which were delicious and perfect for two people. Make sure you start with hot tea and the lentil soup. The bill for two of us was $33, making this a great bargain. Give this place a try.

This is one of our favorite dinner spots in Lincoln! The food is incredible everytime. We usually have the lamb dish, the vegan combo, and the sambusa for an appetizer. So full of flavor and Cleary made with love. One of the greatest joys of eating here is the teff injera bread that comes with everything, we crave it!

I love Tiru so much! It is such a treat to have the delicious vegan platter. They are so kind and truly never disappoint! One of my top favorite restaurants of all time.

How can food this delicious be this economical??!? SO GOOD!
4 of us got the vegan plate and the meats plate to share, so good. The enjara is mild and yummy. Also, the hot tea was very nicely spiced. Totally coming back here!
Does take just a little time to cook, but we didn't mind the wait at all.

Amazing food. Sweet family owned. We will be regulars!

If you’re questioning if you should visit this restaurant; stop, just get in your car and drive here. We are from out of town and waited 40 minutes for the restaurant to open because we wanted to try it before we left town and it was worth every second of waiting. My partner and I each ordered the vegan combo platter and shared an order of sambusas. The food is the most incredible food I’ve ever eaten in my entire life. I don’t know if I’ve ever eaten so much. The ambiance and owner made me feel like I was in someones home eating at meal at their table. It was clean, cute, and inviting. I can’t wait until we are in Lincoln again so we can visit this restaurant.

Authentic Ethiopian food in Lincoln, NE. Nice find while traveling through. They made it too my wife's and my very different spice levels. Flavorful spice was perfect.

Unique and delicious. Welcoming to new visitors.

Great selection of Ethiopian foods. Get the vegan sampler and a meat dish. Share with a friend. You won't regret it. Super tasty and worth every penny.

Really good Ethiopian food for a reasonable price. The vegan platter was enough for two meals and was only $12.99! The depth of flavor of each dish was incredible. Some of the best Ethiopian food I have ever had.

Only downside, which I saw mentioned in another review, is the injera isn't super sour. My preference is for really sour injera, but their's was still delicious and so perfectly spongey. Will be back whenever I'm in town!

Food is amazing!!! Kind service! Nice quiet place to eat! If you dine in, don't be in a hurry as it takes a little while. BUT worth the wait!! They will help you find less spicy and more spicy entrees, just ask!! Pictured is my favorite, Lamb Tibs.

I would recommend this place to all my friends and family. This is my favorite place to eat. The taste is out of this world. You must try this place if you have not. Tiru is 100 out of 5 stars.
