Lalibela was the only Ethiopian restaurant in the Mid-Hudson Region.

"At Lalibela you’ll find dishes for meat lovers, vegetarians and vegans! Our menu embodies the full richness of slowly cooked meats, veggies, onions, fresh ginger, garlic, chilies and clarified butter with a distinctive variety of unique spices such as berbere and mitmita to create savory sautés and a delightful dining experience," Lalibela states on its website

In June 2020, the owner announced a new five-year lease was signed adding the inside of the eatery and menu were being renovated.

Hudson Valley diners looking for Ethiopian food will now have to travel to New York City of Montclair, NJ to get a taste of Ethiopia, according to Google Maps.
