I got the shawarma, while the flavor was good the chicken was a little cold when it got to the table. I think maybe they prepared it at the same time as our appetizers and it sat for a little bit. Still good though! I also got a chicken and sausage gumbo which was pretty good, a little salty though.

Food was great and very spicy. Absolutely tasted like authentic Ethiopian food, I'm guessing there was an Ethiopian cook. Price point was exactly what I expect to pay for the quality.

This restaurant was previously located inside an Ethiopian and Mediterranean grocery store. Currently, the same address belongs to two separate but related establishments — a restaurant with indoor seating (booths and tables) and an international grocery store. The restaurant includes one menu for Biryani Bowl (Indian food) and one menu with Ethiopian, Cajun, and Mediterranean options. There are multiple chefs in the kitchen, according to the staff. You can order across all of the menus, which is useful if coming with a group where everyone has different dietary needs and preferences.
The staff are very kind and friendly, and will answer questions about the food as well as redirect people who go to the wrong establishment. I’ve had better Ethiopian food before, but it was definitely fresh and made to order, which I appreciate. I would happily return again if I’m in the area.

Had lunch here yesterday and the food was fantastic. People were friendly, restaurant was clean, great selection of Mediterranean, Cajun and Ethiopian dishes. I can’t describe the smells of all the foods being cooked and served but it’s heavenly for sure. Definitely give it a try for a unique experience. We will be back soon.

Hadn't been there in awhile. It's shrunk in size as part of it is now an Indian restaurant. The Ethiopian part of the menu has also shrunk, and Cajun and Mediterranean options are added. My friend and I stayed with the Ethiopian options. Our portions were huge for lunch, and we both took a good amount home. He enjoyed a fish dish, and I likewise enjoyed a chicken dish. Mine was swimming in a piquant sauce that was hotter than expected, but still tasty. I'll return.
Vegetarian options: Several of the dishes had an all vegetable option.
Parking: The restaurant is in a strip mall with ample parking, including h'capped.
Wheelchair accessibility: No problem.

Would definitely come back when we're in town again! We ordered the 7 veggie plate with injera from the Ethiopian menu and the rice spectaculara from the Cajun menu. Both were so delicious! The chef seemed well familiar with both cuisines. Plus service was quick and with a constant smile.
