Fassil Restaurant

I have been coming to Fassil for about 10 years now. It was my introduction to the delicious world of Ethiopian cuisine. Since then, I have tried many other Ethiopian restaurants in the lower mainland, but I by far prefer Fassil. It continues to be my go-to place whenever I crave Ethiopian food (which, once you have the cuisine once, becomes a regular occurrence). The owner and staff are super friendly and welcoming, and the prices are beyond reasonable.

In short, I cannot say enough positive things about Fassil. It is probably my favourite restaurant in the city.

Very friendly service and delicious food. I recommend the combination option for two people.

I recently had a fantastic dining experience at Fassil Ethiopian Cuisine, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I stepped into the restaurant, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality by the owner himself, who also happened to be serving and cooking. His genuine kindness and passion for Ethiopian cuisine set the tone for the evening.

One of the highlights of the meal was the injera bread. Not only was it incredibly filling, but I was fascinated to learn about its health benefits. The combination of its unique texture and the various flavors it absorbed from the dishes made it an absolute delight to eat.

Speaking of the dishes, the veggie options such as gomen, misir wat, kik wat, and alicha were expertly prepared. Each had its distinct flavors and showcased the richness of Ethiopian spices and herbs. The balance of flavors and the use of fresh ingredients truly impressed me.

Additionally, I had the opportunity to try the siga key wat beef, and it was a standout dish. The tender beef, simmered in a flavorful blend of spices, was simply divine. The owner's expertise in preparing this traditional dish was evident, and I couldn't have been more pleased with the result.

Overall, my experience at Fassil Ethiopian Cuisine was exceptional. The combination of delectable food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere made it an unforgettable dining experience. I left with a satisfied palate and a desire to return soon. If you're looking to explore the flavors of Ethiopia and be treated to genuine hospitality, I highly recommend visiting Fassil Ethiopian Cuisine.

What a lovely find! Good food, grand service (totally!), and groovy music (that was softly playing). A really fantastic place. Plus the service – memorable:)

Tried the veggie combo and it was very good. Nice portion, delicious moist and fluffy injera, and mildly flavoured assorted veggie stews. Solid Ethiopian meal.

Ate here recently and had a great experience. The food was absolutely delicious. The staff were helpful and super friendly. Definitely looking forward to going back!

Was very excited to try this restaurant, thankfully I phoned before going, and was told over the phone that if I wanted Tibbs, I’d have to phone them 3 days in advance. Disappointed that they wouldn’t have it on the menu already.

Came here about 4 years ago until yesterday.
The taste of the food was great, but you can tell it was microwaved. Nothing felt fresh. Its sad, they used to be very good years ago.

Great flavours, delicious vegetarian and meat options. The owners are very kind and helpful. Reccomendations are the veggie sampler and the lamb.

Absolutely loved this very unassuming restaurant. If you're about vibes. This place gives aunti and uncle vibes. You feel at home. And the food here was such a treat. More filling than I imagined I left satiated, with a takeaway and the price is amazing!

This place gave us food poisoning. Also watched them microwave the food before plating it. They also charge extra if you don't pay them in cash. Go somewhere else.

Great ethiopian food, very friendly staff.
Feels like they are genuinely passionate about their food and work

Got the sharing platter on recommendation from the owner. Delicious, good value, attentive service. Will definitely be coming back.

Very tasty, full of flavor and nice, firm injera. Simple place with sweet service and low prices. Will definitely try again.

Dining room is basic and was quite cold when we were there. Excellent food and the chef came out to check on us. Plenty of injera to scoop up the great stews.

Went here for my sister's birthday.we had a combo platter added a lamb currey. Amazing food, amazing staff, amazing food!

Service was +! Seems to be family run; our first time eating Ethopian food and the staff took care of everything, gave us an amazing and delicious meal, told us the best way to eat it, and all at great value. Would definitely recommend!

Good food but shady business model when it comes to payment methods. The restaurant should have been clear about what type of payment methods they accept when an order is placed over the phone. They shouldn’t have tried to charge us extra because we didn’t make payment using cash/ debit.

Excellent! The food is soooo good. Fassil is a small low key family restaurant where you can find great comfort food. We shared a big platter with many tasting choices. I also had the Gluten-free injera which was amazing!
