Over charged, be careful.I ordered veggie combo listed price online was $9.99, listed price in store was $14.50 but was charged $17.99 I asked why they said tax (but I was still actually taxed too) I also ordered two orders of sombosa listed price $2.99 for 3 or $.99 each- I was charged $2.99 each. When I tried to get them to fix they acting like they couldn’t understand the discrepancy. The veggie combo ?? but the sombosa was good

Hi guys, this place is closed. Don’t even think to go there or to order by online website anything because it’s already closed. I wait to open from 6 PM until 730 and I continue waiting until 930. No one is opening the door and the place is closed.

Now I've been to this place several times before, being that it's only 5 mins up the street from me. The food has been decent but last Saturday I made the same mistake of ordering from the website only to find out that they are closed for renovations. Extremely frustrating. I also want my money back!

I placed an order through their site a few weeks ago for a to go order. I paid and they accepted my card. I drive to the restaurant and when I get there it was completely closed. They’re website and google maps advertised the restaurant as being open all day. I got there around 6:30 pm — hours before they were supposed to close. I call over and over and it went straight to voicemail. I finally left a message and haven’t heard anything for weeks. Some strange man cleaning outside stated that they were in vacation or something and that they were remodeling the place. Not sure how accurate this was but I’m not about that. I want my money back and after reading the reviews, I should’ve thought twice before ordering…Vegetarian options: I wouldn’t know, I never got my food…Parking: Parking was behind the restaurant in some scrap-yard looking settings

I don't even feel comfortable giving this place one star, I highly do not recommend. I'm disgusted by the cleanliness of this restaurant, there was a cat walking around getting up on people's laps etc, I love the cat, very sweet, but not okay in a restaurant where food is being served. I went to wash my hands in the bathroom and there was a USED tampon along the back of the faucet handles! Then the service along with it was awful. We sat down and waited ten minutes before someone even came to us. She took our order and then it took an hour before we were served our "appetizer". We were never served our iced teas until our entree came out. The food was terribly spicy, and I'm a girl who loves buffalo wings! I'm all for spicy food hence why we tried it, but the service was horrible, cleanliness don't even get me started again. I was terrified to eat here especially being pregnant. My uncle I dined with is elderly. We are highly susceptible to food borne illnesses as well and I was terrified, ended up paying after she refused the first time to give us the bill and left. Definitely will never return.

This is a little hole in the wall type of place. But the food is delicious.

The worst dining place I’ve ever seen. It doesn’t represent the Ethiopian cuisine test. Don’t play with your money.

Waited for some one to come out the kitchen to take my order, I could see them from the front bar and I had just tried to enter from the wrong door and been redirected so she should have known I would be coming in the streetside door..anyways sat on bar stool and watched the two women in the kitchen talking to eachother and ignore me as minutes ticked away. Several men were seated in the dining room/bar area. I felt like I had wandered into a strangers living room and invisible ? Finally I called the resturant that I was in to get thier attention and a woman came out the kitchen to answer the phone by the counter. I hung up my phone and told her it was me calling and I wanted to order somem food. Go figure they didnt have the beef samosas advertised. By now I dont want their food anyways. It did smell like the were cooking something good back there but the lack of hospitality is making this a no for me

Absolutely not! Do not waste your money! The food tastes so old and I just smells like it was touched by someone who was not clean!

Terrible! Terrible! Terrible! I ordered lamb with Rice and enjera. They gave 95% lamb fat and 5% meat. The rice was very dry and the enjera tasted like a dry piece of tortilla. It also took them an hour to cook this mess. I am a Foodie that goes around to find the best spot from Phoenix to Sun City. I will not recommend this place and will never go back again! By the way they charged me $20 for the bad food!

We have been to other Ethiopian restaurants and have had better food. The injera was dry and absorbed much of the liquid in the food so it fell apart. We will not come back to this particular restaurant.

Definitely not a go-to place for dinner. The batter has turned sour yet they served the food and was not edible.Please do not serve food like this and spoil the Ethiopian traditional name.Would give 0 stars but no other option, so 1 star.
