Altu's always feels like a very comfortable and homey place. They don't try to impress you and they don't try to follow American trends in food. They just try to present Ethiopian cooking so it makes sense to Americans. I always feel as if I can take people who have no idea what Ethiopian food is like and they won't be surprised or disgusted or awed. Generally the friends I take to Altu's add the place to their regular haunts. The staff is very flexible, and is willing to communicate about their food in the most simple and direct way. There's no weird free tents of epicureanism or elitism. Whether you're a vegan, or hungry for beef, they have an answer. The food is well prepared, healthy, and fresh. I have no other experience with Ethiopian cooking, so I can't say Altu's is especially genuine or innovative or that it would be considered great by Ethiopian standards. But it's a nice place to have dinner. Inexpensive, clean, friendly, relaxed.

This is one of the best restaurants in East Lansing. The food is impeccable, the staff is courteous and remembers your name and orders, and the atmosphere is unique to the area. If you are only in the area for a day then this has to be the place you stop at, and if you're a local you need to add it to your regular rotation. You won't be disappointed!

My husband and I love Ethiopian food and try to eat it wherever we go. We're so happy that our local Athu's is so good! It stands out in Michigan for sure as our favorite place. I only wish it wasn't so expensive and that it would be open on Sundays. If those things changed, we'd be eating there all the time!

I regularly visit Altu’s and the food just keeps getting better! TONS of vegetarian/vegan options, which I love. Portions are large and the food is very filling! I’ve always had an amazing experience here!
