It was a busy Friday night but they were responsive and friendly. The manager really cares about your experience there. The food is unique and delicious and the platters offer outstanding variety. We’re all restaurant goers and we polled at the end of the meal. We’d all go back, 100%.

We were disappointed all the way around. The service was really slow-even for post COVID. It was our first time to the restaurant and we were wanting some guidance on what to order. We could not hear the waitress very well due to how loud the restaurant was and she wasn’t too interested in assisting us. The drinks were terrible- just have water and safe your money. Food was so so. We’ve had way better Ethiopian food. We won’t be returning.

As I searched for restaurants to try during Chicago Restaurant Week, this was the only restaurant that popped up when searching African cuisine. Although I’ve eaten Ethiopian cuisine before, it has been a while. This was a great experience that reacclimated me to it! Authentic food, pleasing environment, great drinks, and good service. I will be back!

This is worth going to. Im already thinking about going back. The food was great, even the dessert was a treat. I tried all vegan food because of my guest, but I can't wait to try the meat versions. The bread was amazing (slightly sour but in the best way). I didn't love everything, but I enjoyed trying the different things. My favorite were the greens and the peas. The chocolate cheesecake and red thai ice cream was amazing! I would go back just for that.

First time trying Ethiopian food. I followed the Michelin guide's recommendation and ordered their specialties. The waiters were passionate about the food that they served, and I learned from them how to properly eat the wat. The environment was very quiet and welcoming. The value of the entée was insane, I could not finish all of it, unfortunately. Definitely recommended for people curious about the cuisine and definitely a place to bring your friends to!

I haven't been to Demera in years and it is still very good. The cocktails (Minch and Marketo) were excellent with lots of flavor and fresh herbs. I loved the beet, onion and jalepeno salad and Sambusa selection. Entrees (lamb & chicken) were delicious and the peas side and crisp salads were a nice addition. The Nigerian lager is very nice too. And best of all, the service was friendly and efficient. The place was packed as there was a show at Aragon and there was a huge party next to us. The staff didn't miss a beat - and that's saying a lot these days!

I always have delicious food at Demera! Unfortunately the one slight comment I have is that the particular corner the restaurant is situated on has had a lot of issues with aggressive panhandlers and mental ill individuals. During our meal a possibly mentally unstable person ran inside the restaurant, frightening a poor waitress and requiring staff to usher the person out. The individual left and we watched them harassing people across the street waiting for bar entry. This in no way is the restaurant's fault and in fact they responded quickly ensuring their staff and the patrons safety.

We’ve been here many times. This time brought a few newbies. Had a reservation for 8 and was promptly seated. Started with sambusa sampler. Delicious and sauce had a nice kick to it. We always order the chef recommended messob and have never been disappointed. Utensils are not used. A spongy bread type is used to grab the food from the platter. Make sure to go with friends because it’s community eating. Compared to all the Ethiopian restaurants in the area, Demera has the most flavorful dishes. The spices are outstanding. The service is always friendly and attentive. They offer a honey wine which is quite tasty and something to try My friends highly enjoyed. We’ve never been disappointed
