Kokeb Restaurant - Winnipeg, Manitoba

I’ve been here twice for takeout. The man who took my order (the owner, I assume) was very friendly. The food has been excellent. I’ve now ordered 4 veggie combos and a total of eight veggie samosas. The combos had generous portions and each item was delicious and distinct. I ... had veggie samosas filled with lentils. They were also delicious and spicy. Everything was fresh. I highly recommend you give them a go. Read more

I forgot my wallet and the owner graciously gave me my order and trusted me to return and pay the following day. I'll never forget that act of kindness and display of faith in humanity. Best samosas in town by the way!

Food was amazing. I've been at lunch and at dinner and both times it was good food. Service at lunch is super fast. Service was relaxed at dinner and no one else seemed bothered by it. The patrons at tables around me seemed like it was ... normal to hang out for long periods of time at this restaurant. Read more

My first time having Ethopian food and first time at Kokeb! Delicious and flavourful dishes to be eaten with their fluffy and delicate injera bread! So filling and satisfying. Their beef samosas were packed with beef and fried to perfection. Do yourself a favour and try the stuffed jalepeno with onion ... and tomato. It is so fresh and crunchy! Such great contrasts in flavours— packed with veggies and vegetarian dishes. Truly fell in love with Ethopian cuisine here. Parking is limited! Read more

*edit* Went into the restaurant to try the food. The food is better than delivery and looks of course way more appealing. I was impressed with their flavors on the delivery, and they continue to deliver in the dining room. The person serving us was just as nice as the person who ... was on the phone as both were very helpful. The pricing can't be beat. 2 combos including meat for under $22 before tax. Many other restaurants have it closer to $26. I give this a 5 with some stipulation. The food flavor and value is 5. The jalapeno sauce on the side really makes the food. If you can't have that then the food can depend. I wasn't a fan of the salad which is just salad with Italian dressing. The server was super friendly as well. It's an ok space and parking can be a pain. There were some issues with the bathroom but I figure that will be fixed in the future. --------------------------------------------------- This is a delivery review. We ordered the kokeb combo that serves 2, plus an extra order of lamb. With orders over $20 it's free delivery with skip. You have to give a minimum 10% tip to driver. The odd thing was you couldn't choose a percentage. Just in 5% increments. (10, 15, 20) It was generous amount of food. We had spoken to someone from the restaurant before actually ordering as we had a question. The combo comes with choice of lamb, beef or chicken (you choose 2). You can also choose chicken breast or chicken thighs if you want chicken. There is also another option for deep fried meat?? We had minor issues with communications. After getting our food I do regret not following his advice. Trust the guy as he knows what most of his clients actually like. I thought I wanted something then realized my mistake after. We received 2 boxes of injera. I think it's because we had 2 orders of food? My one complaint was they hard packed everything into the first box. It would have been nice if items were spaced out a touch more and the meal given in 2 boxes instead of over lapping. Another thing the man on the phone seemed to be suggesting was for us to go in to eat. The food we received was very tasty, just not visually as appealing. I think had we been in the restaurant I might have loved it instead of just liking it. However, next time I would be encouraged to go. The injera came with a green sauce that was like a chili salsa. I really liked that. Read more
