Welcome to Altus, a culinary haven where the essence of Ethiopian flavors meets the mastery of Altu Tadesse, our celebrated owner, founder, and flavor virtuoso. Altu’s journey with food began in the vibrant landscapes of Ethiopia, where she transformed simple ingredients like lima beans and cabbage into extraordinary delights through her loving and intuitive preparation.
A Symphony of Flavors and Traditions
Embark on a gastronomic journey like no other at Altu’s, where the rich tapestry of Ethiopian cuisine unfolds through every dish. Our food is celebrated for its diversity and depth, characterized by thick, stew-like dishes that can be savored as vegetarian or meat, mild or spicy, catering to every palate. The spongy, traditional flatbread, Injera, are both your utensil and a delightful part of your meal, used to scoop up the vibrant stews in a tactile dining ritual that dates back centuries.
An Ethiopian Cuisine to Remember
Yet, no matter how you choose to experience it, one thing remains constant – our commitment to quality ingredients, tasty meals, and no compromises. Dive into the authentic flavors of Ethiopia at Altus and let your taste buds dance to the rhythm of Altu’s culinary compositions, where every meal is a celebration of culture, tradition, and the art of good eating.

What our guests are saying
This is one of my favorite restaurants in Lansing. The food is so delicious and the staff is exceptional! Every visit to Michigan absolutely must include a dinner at Altu’s, two if I am lucky!

Arminda F.
Had dinner or lunch several times. The food is good. For people like spicy, i recommend spicy beef stew, chicken leg and chickpeas. Service is good, But sometimes, it serves a bit slow.
Wenjing R.
Great food, great portions, kind staff. They don't have much wait staff, so it can take a while to get menus or be served drinks or food.
Laurel T.
