RESTAURANT REVIEW: Hillman City’s Delish is Delish!

There are lots of Ethiopian and Eritrean restaurants in Southeast Seattle and recently I tried a newish one called Delish in Hillman City. It really lived up to its name.

Delish is located on the southwest corner of Orcas and Rainier Avenue South and, according to the owner, it has been open for less than a year and is the newest Ethiopian restaurant in the US.

Like most local restaurants, they are struggling but the super friendly owners, a husband and wife, are determined to keep it going and are so thankful for the support of the local community.

Delish is a sweet little place that–like most–is primarily doing take-out. They have an extensive menu with lots of veggie and beef entrees and a couple of poultry and fish dishes.

I usually order the vegetarian combo, but decided to try a fish dish this time. I liked the sound of the Assa Goulash, which consisted of cubed tilapia with tomato and green pepper and berbere spices. It was really delicious.

My friend ordered the special veggie combo, which included a portion of all the separate vegetarian dishes: lentils, split peas, beans , carrots, collard greens, cabbage, potatoes and beets in tasty spices.

We both thought we had ordered too much food, but we ate everything as it was so good. I am now calling the Pandemic the Pudgdemic!

Check it out.
