I hadn't been to the new location. It was warm and inviting. Service was great server was willing and able to explain and suggest what was good. I always order Lamb Tibs. I order an appetizer stuffed with jalapeños and lentils. the pocket was delicious but too hot. So I unstuffed the pocket and ate it. I love their Lentils.

The best Ethiopian food in Atlanta!!! The doro wat was phenomenal. We always order ours with extra eggs. I could NOT stop eating it, that's how good it was. You know those dishes that you're sad to see leave your plate because you just want to indulge forever? Yeah, this is one of those. The Bole combination was another winner with the best veggies I've ever tasted. 10s across the board!!

The vegan food, the amazing service from friendly people and the ambience is also nice for many people having two sides to select and enjoy their meals. I always take guests there when I come into town. I've been going there for 7 years now!

Bike is a very spacious and beautiful space to dine. We were greeted with holiday decorations as we walked in and were greeted by the hostess. My friend enjoyed their Lamb Bole Tibs. I had the vegetarian combo which is vegan and plant-based by default. Every part of the dish was delicious. The combo comes with lentil and chickpea stew, cabbage potato and carrot medley, Ethiopian style collard greens, beets, and a green bean and carrot stir fry. The honey wine is always a highlight of my Ethiopian meals. I do have a bit of feedback to add; it is not safe to put plastic straws in extremely hot water which was the case with my to-go spice tea. I recommend give the straws separately for when it cools, though the straws aren't necessary at.

I have wanted to try Ethiopian food for the longest! While visiting we were able to give this place a try! Met up with a friend who suggested this gem and I am so glad he brought us here! We ordered the Taste of Bole sampler so we could taste everything. The platter was more very filling and more than enough for me and two men with leftovers for later. Everything was freshly made to serve and the spices were phenomenal! The injera was better than I expected as well. Service was great and the establishment was beautiful. Definitely keeping this place on my list of places to eat when in Atlanta.

I live about 30miles from this eatery but it remains my favorite Ethiopian restaurant in the ATL. I started eating there when the restaurant was in a smaller building up the street. The new restaurant is beautiful, spacious and bright. The service is just as nice and helps as before. The food remains delicious. My favorite dish is the veggie platter, lamb tibs and the chicken dodo wot (and of course the injera bread). The Ethiopian coffee is a must try, too! If you are looking for deliciously authentic Ethiopian cuisine I would highly recommend BOLE. It's worth the drive!

This was a place I'd had on my list and never got to it. Finally a reason to celebrate & try out a new place - my friend's 50th! We went on a Thursday evening which wasn't busy so no reservation required. We were fortunate enough to get seated in the section where Ethiopian Coffee Ceremonies are done. So traditional with the wood stools and woven baskets! For dinner we went for The Taste of Bole sampler to experience everything and share. To drink - we shared a bottle of honey wine that's made in house. My friends said it was sweet and like nothing they'd had before. The sampler includes a mix of their greatest hits - Kitfo, Doro Wot, Shirro, Veggies, Beef Awaze Tibs and Lamb Tibs. Served with injera and salad. The flavors, spices, different textures and variety are a must have. The location is right of I85 and Virginia Ave. Drive past the chains and hotels to eat at Bole which is across the street from the cemetery. The bar is decorated so nicely, plenty of seating, private rooms and a wrap around outdoor patio. I'm excited to try the rest of their menu! I would have given them a 5-star review but the women's restroom was pretty horrible. A stall was overrun with toilet paper, another had no toilet paper and last one wouldn't refill the tank to flush. No more soap or paper towels so that was disappointing. A easy fix to service the toilets and this place is golden.

Our first time at Bole. We met my second cousin who just was in town for 6 hour layover. He had never had Ethiopian so it was decided, and no better than to order Bole's Taste of Ethiopia, which was enough for the four of us. We had a couple of ginger beers for spice. Man I just love how filling inerja is and how you can roll all of the dishes into it. When we entered there was a strong scent of incense, which is common in traditional Ethiopian restaurants especially after coffee ceremonies. Host was super friendly.

This was my first time trying Ethiopian food, and I was NOT disappointed! It's a very family-type vibe in there, which is already very comforting. I wish i remembered our server's name but she was lovely. As for my food, for starters I ordered Sambusa and the Chickpea Wot, and for dinner I ordered the Vegetarian Combo (more details in the pics) When I first looked at the plate, I thought, oh maybe I'll have some to take home. After that first bite, I wiped that plate CLEAN. Looking back I don't even know if I was that hungry, I think I was so taken aback by how delicious and rich in flavor everything was. I left feeling so full and happy, there's nothing better than trying something for the first time and it tasting better than you expected, looking forward to going back. Btw: This is right by the airport for anyone traveling to or through ATL.
