Ethiopian Diamond Restaurant & Bar

Super GemEdgewater · Ethiopian Community-sourced, unverified
📍 6120 N Broadway, Chicago, IL 60660

Owner Almaz Yigizaw arrived in Edgewater in 1982 as a teenage refugee from Gondar, Ethiopia, and opened Ethiopian Diamond Restaurant & Bar in 1996 using her late grandmother's recipes — spices are still harvested in Gondar by her sister and shipped to Chicago exclusively for the restaurant, making it Chicago's oldest Ethiopian restaurant.
