Third and Valley
Ethiopia Meets South Orange
Not many people can say they’ve tried Ethiopian food, and even less towns can say they have an Ethiopian restaurant. However, your new home at Third & Valley is home to not one but two great Ethiopian restaurants, Walia and Lalibela!
11 Village South Plaza
South Orange, New Jersey
(973) 762- 2186
Located just one block from the South Orange train station and just down the road from Third & Valley, Walia is a family-owned restaurant that has become quite popular since opening in 2013. They serve all the traditional favorites such as misr watt and boast a particularly lengthy vegetarian for our leaf-eating residents. Though its cuisine is authentic, Walia has a more trendy-vibe than its close neighbor.
261 Irvington Ave
South Orange, New Jersey
(973) 327 – 4840
Also family-owned and located down the street from Third & Valley, Lalibela has graced South Orange with it’s authentic cuisine since 2007 when husband/wife duo Austine and Meklit wanted to bring their traditional food to the South Orange community. Decorated like a traditional Ethiopian household, you’ll feel like you’re getting a home-cooked meal when dining at Lalibela. As Ethiopian cuisine often is, 2/3rds of the menu is 100% vegetarian.
