I really enjoy live music and this place has it going on! Wednesday through Saturday the music ranges from classic Jazz to R&B which makes for a nice setting if you're on a date or just out with friends. The service is fair. There is just one server who waits on all tables but once you place your order, things are brought out fast. The food is okay, After going there twice and trying two traditional Ethiopian dishes, I realize that I just don't like Ethiopian food. There is a lot of love and passion that goes into their food, but it's just not for me. I will be back for the music though!

Live Jazz Eritrean & Ethiopian food I've been wanting to try this place & finally did on Friday night. Was not crowded at all which was odd to me as it's a great local spot! The live Jazz was great!! And the food was pretty good. Jazz Cafe Hummus - yummy Lamb Tibs - tender and flavorful Zil Zil - not as tender Injera Bread - good Collard Greens - good Salad - good Red Lentils - great spice Travel_lifestyle_chow Wished this place was more poppin but would def come back.

I've been coming here for over a year now, it's such a quick date night for those hectic weeks. Great live music Pretty good food & good vibes only ! The fries here are so good, you can tell they are freshly made and not frozen. They're thinly cut and cooked to order. Not to mention the seasoning, 10/10.

This by far was one of the best evening I've had! My wife set up a birthday dinner with three of the best things, friends, Ethiopian food, and Jazz. The owner was so accommodating and frequently asked if we needed anything and if we were enjoying ourselves, the service rivaled Michelin star restaurants we've dined at. The food was amazing! 5 star I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant to anyone wanting to celebrate with friends or just a romantic date night. You can't go wrong!!!

If you want to hear great music and dine Ethiopian this is it! They have American food too! Beat collard greens, veggie combo yummm! Not to be missed ..... ALULA plays incredible Ethiopian, Reggie, world music first and third Wed of the month. You will not be disappointed!

I was in the area and had this in my collection to try and it did NOT disappoint. My friend who is a vegetarian mentioned that Ethiopian food was vegan friendly and the options were plenty. We ordered chicken wings and fries - AMAZING. The Veggie Platter was soooo SEASONED, I can't get the red lentils out of my mind with the spice. Also ordered the lamb - OH MY GOODNESS, SOOOOO TENDER!!! Like it was just tooooo good, can't wait to order that again with the chicken. The injera was so fluffy. The side of Mac and cheese was good, typical Mac and cheese. Industry Cafe & Jazz is super cute and the food was DELICIOUS. Our server Sweet was GREAT. The owner Aron stopped by our table and assure we were good. The jazz was superb. It was a great way to have Sunday dinner. This was my first time having Ethiopian food. Parking could be sketchy but we did find parking on that Sunday and it was metered. I am not sure how it would be when there's jazz on the Saturday nights which they said was packed and a great time to come enjoy. Can't wait to stop by again for greatness.

What a lovely start to a rockin' Saturday night! I can't believe it took me so long to have a visit to Industry cafe + Jazz! Arrived here at around 7:30pm on Saturday and the ambiance was so relaxed and cozy. Maybe it was a special night, but many of the patrons seemed to know one another which contributed to the comfortable vibe. As for the food, I only had some french fries and a few glasses of wine, so I can't speak much of it. The fries were good and for 4 bucks, was a pretty good deal for snacking on. Such a great start to my Saturday night! I know that Industry Cafe does a weekly Wednesday night jazz jam, so I will definitely find myself here for some middle of the week Jazz.

I really enjoy coming here! My favorite order is the beef tibs with a salad and cabbage. It always hits the spot. One thing that sticks out and keeps me coming back is the service and the ambiance. The staff/family that run this restaurant treat their customers like friends, with warmth. There's also frequent live music and poetry nights. I always see different types of people here. Even though it's street parking (in Culver City, yikes!), I usually don't have trouble finding a spot.

A friend recommended this spot for great Ethiopian/Eritrean food and it did not disappoint! We ordered the vegetable plate and the chicken tibs to share - the tibs come with a choice of 1 veggie and a salad, we chose the collard greens. They offered to combine it all on one plate for us which was convenient, and gave us extra injera on the side. We also tried the sambusas (lentil filled samosa-like appetizer), which I enjoyed. Total per person was around $23 before tip ($19-20 per plate split between two people + $3 sambusa). For the amount of food we got I felt the value was great compared to similar spots!!! The food tasted very good as well - I loved the chicken tibs - flavorful and perfectly cooked - and the vegetables (red lentil, yellow lentil, cabbage/carrot, collards, salad) were all delicious additions to make the meal enjoyable!! Was also pleasantly surprised how FAST the food came out!! We placed our order and I kid you not it came out in under 5 minutes. Our waitress was very kind. There's a ton of indoor (and some outdoor) seating. Street parking only. Bathrooms on-site (& clean unlike old reviews I read). And live jazz music!!! Suggestions for improvement: 1) The music is way too loud. Loved the live jazz band but the speaker needed to be turned down a lot because we were yelling to each other the entire meal. 2) Only 1 waiter, so on a busy night it took a while for us to get our water refilled and get the check. Also appreciated the owner/chef coming out to check in with us and see how the meal is! A nice personal touch and he welcomed us to the restaurant and to the family! Overall will definitely recommend to friends for great food and fun atmosphere!!!
