Came in, sat down, server took our order and never came back. We sat there for over an hour while watching others get served who came in after us and then we finally walked out. Used to come here all the time and really loved the food, this time was a waste of time.

We had great food and the waitress was very accommodating with our requests. The meat and veggie combos always suffice.Parking: Parking after 6 PM is free on the street.

My friend and I originally went downtown to another Ethiopian restaurant that was not open despite claiming they were on the website. So we decided to pay for parking and go to this restaurant that also claimed they were open at 11:00 a.m. on their website and on their door, to our surprise this restaurant was also closed. Very disappointing. Change your hours of operation.

Beware the service is less than favorable and it has in fact been shut down by AHS for several reasons. They will say it's not true but it is. I've eaten here 3 times and each time was worse than the last, the first time was good when it first opened but it was downhill from there. I heard they've taken down the other negative reviews. I have no interest in harming any small businesses but the fact is your health is more important than sparing their feelings.

I used to go here until they were shut down by AHS for a cockroach infestation which is disgusting. I always found their service to be very very slow and the big ethiopian tables were never clean.

The food was truly exceptional! I’d recommend any of their meat dishes, they’re very flavorful and the spice level is perfect. They have a limited selection of alcohol, and the servers were a little reluctant/ unaware of bottle prices. The staff were helpful, but they would forget parts of our order, would mess up overall prices and it felt like there was a bit of a language barrier. I’d still recommend this place for its wonderful food though.Vegetarian options: Many many tasty veg options

It was a delightful first Ethiopian food experience. We ordered the meat and vegetable platter and the serving was generous. Tasty and flavourful meat and vegetable dishes that are spicy for my tastebuds. The food server was super helpful, she told us that the food is basically enjoyed with bare hands. Expect the smell of spices will stay in your hands the entire night. Injera (sour flatbread) was a bit sour for me. I love Ethiopian coffee ceremony consisting of freshly made coffee, popcorn and burning of incense which was totally new experience for us. As a first timer, this was a good dining experience.
