I was so happy to find some good Ethiopian food in Chicago. I was not impressed with the ones near Wrigley Field, but this one is great, as a a couple of others in the area. The veggie combo (six entrees) is excellent, particularly the Shimbra Assa (Chick Pea Fish stew.) The entrees that are supposed to be spicy actually are, and are quite flavorful. The injera is good. Highly recommended.
I eat at Ethiopian Diamond about once a week. I love this food. I never get sick of it. My favorites are the red lentils, mild split peas, collard greens, spinach, shim brassa, and cabbage and carrots. Everything on the vegetarian menu is vegan, and it's all delicious. The vegetarian combo is the best deal, but they exclude some of the pricier items from your choice. The staff and owner are extremely friendly and attentive.
