Delicious food, friendly staff, great coffee!

My favorite dish has always been the spicy red lentils. They make it great here. They are full of a variety of spices, so it's not just chili pepper spicy.

We are here as a group. This place is great for groups, they have pants of cozy booths.

Nicest people.
Warm, tasty and healthy food. Great vegetarian options. Lentil Samosas were good. Injera bread served is good sufficient qty.
-Ater Kik & Meser Wot are good spicy options. Rarely the lentils are uncooked.
-Foslia: String beans in it are flavourful and perfectly cooked.
They've expanded the place in 3 folds. It was 1 room earlier and now they've expanded the place.

This is our favorite restaurant in Phoenix. The food is spicy and the injera bread is amazing! Service can be a bit slow, but it's worth the wait. We eat here every time we visit Phoenix - we'll can't wait to come back. If you're looking for a healthy food option and like spicy food, this is a must try!
