I LOVE Altu and her Delicious food. She's one of the best people on the planet. One of the highlights of traveling to Michigan. I dream about her food. High quality food made with love. more

My husband and I have lived, on and off, in the Lansing area for 30+ years - interspersed with stints in AZ, TN, FL, DC, CO, etc. Today was my first time at Altu's and my husband's second.

Never having tried ethiopian food before, I took my parents (because they are always game for something different.) The staff was wonderful - even brought my dad silverwear because he's partially paralized and gave him a special cup to use to help him. The food was amazing, spicy but not mouth-burning. Will definitely go back. more

We had a great experience here. My husband and I shared the veggie/meat feast with lamb, spicy chicken, spicy lentils, yellow peas, and collard greens. ($29 and it included drinks.) Everything was delicious. The girls had the chicken stew, which they really enjoyed. They didn't care for the spongy bread so next time we will order rice for their meal. more

Honestly, I haven't been to the restaurant, but I always get their food when they are at local festivals. Love the food! more
