I love this place!!!!. Delicious!!! Insanely awesome! My new fave!! Please go eat and support this new restaurant !!!!
I LOVE Ethopian food and have eaten it in many places. Very happy to see Ibex open in Jax. Clean, friendly staff etc.. Their enjera is a bit different than most places, it is hard to use it to eat with because it falls apart. Their flavors are good but it seems like they are trying too many veggies. (I’ve never had green beans or carrots offered.) It was obvious at the other ethopian restaurants that they simmered/marinated their meats and veggies. It taste like Ibex is merely seasoning their food as they go which doesn’t give the true ethopian flavors time to soak in. I’ve had their beef and chicken which was VERY tough and chewy, again seems like a lack of slow cooking/simmering. I truly hope they can figure this out because they have a great opportunity in Jax. Maybe if they try Nile Ethopian on International Dr in Orlando they will get it before they lose the Jax foodies!
10/10 would recommend.. Husband and I went here for dinner and got the chef’s platter for 2 (the non vegetarian one) and were hugely impressed. Waiter was really nice, explained the dishes to us and answered our questions. Not one thing on the plate (or sides) did I not enjoy. Seriously good, some spicy some not, but all delicious. Husband had to get up and wash his hands so he wasn’t tempted to eat more! Haha. Don’t let the plain outside appearance fool you, and go in! We also got the Hakim stout, an Ethiopian beer, and that was super tasty.
The food was delicious! I’ve been back several times already and can’t wait to make this a regular destination. The people working there are unbelievably friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is casual and relaxing on top of the incredible food they serve. A friend and I split the Chef’s Special Combination which was more than enough food for two people but it was a great way to try the variety of flavors and dishes available. I love that this restaurant is so close to where I live but I wish that more people would find and enjoy it!
Vegetarian Platter For Two. This vegetarian platter can feed two people. And it goes well with Ethiopian spiced tea.24 Sep, 2014Lamb Stew and Cabbage on the Side. This lamb stew is mouthwatering.
This was my first time trying Ethiopian food. I did a lot of research and picked Ibex. This place is very cute, the staff is so friendly and helpful, and the chef is very accomplished and personal. It is a nice smaller size, very clean and gives the feeling of being at home but still maintains important classy touches throughout the restaurant. I was very impressed that the chef came to our table to make sure that we enjoyed our meal. That’s the type of service that even most five star restaurants have forgotten in jacksonville. My boyfriend and I had the vegetarian platter for two, green beans, and tea. Everything was cooked perfect and presented with a more modern flair than a traditional Ethiopian restaurant. Dispute the upscale presentation, the price was shockingly cheap. They also have coffee ceremonies on Sunday which I am excited to go back and learn about.
Wonderful, flavorful addition to the Jacksonville community.. We just had an amazing lunch at Ibex Ethiopian Kitchen!! Our family of 4 shared two large platters— the IBEX Special and the Chef’s Special Combination. Great variety, great flavor. Generous portions. The service was warm, friendly and prompt. We will be back for dinner and some Teje wine!
