We entered the restaurant by accident, so we ordered a small amount of nuts (about a handful) and 4 small pieces of bread so we wouldn't leave empty-handed. The bread cost 1.99 and the nuts were 2.99. I paid a total of 12.02. I don't recommend going here because the food is overpriced and he took advantage of me because he told me that he doesn't sell bread.

The half size veggie combo was delicious and the perfect size for just me!! Everything was flavorful and the injera was perfectly spongey. I will be coming back to get my Ethiopian food from here!

Amazing food, well priced. I ate here in person the first time and have doordashed from here many times since. I always get the vegetarian combo (IMO better than the one with meat). A little intimidating for a first timer for ethiopian food since it’s hard to tell what everything is, but just get one of the combos and you’ll have a great time!

Amazing food, culture, atmosphere!!!! MUST TRY
The most perfect meal I have had in a LONG time. The food was fresh and delicious, and they were able to kindly accommodate my friend who has celiac disease. The service was very hospitable and the coffee was amazing. 10/10.

Wonderfully friendly and welcoming, the owner took the time to share the history and cultural background behind the food, which made the experience feel far more personal and memorable. He even offered complimentary samples of Ethiopian coffee and baklava, a thoughtful gesture that perfectly reflected the warmth and hospitality Ethiopia is known for.
As someone trying Ethiopian food for the first time, it was an ideal introduction to both the cuisine and the culture. The dishes were rich, aromatic (although toooo aromatic for this reviewer), with layers of spices and flavors that felt unique. The slightly sour injera paired beautifully with the savory crispy beef and the vegetarian platters, creating a dining experience that was communal and flavorful. Overall, it felt less like simply eating at a restaurant and more like being welcomed into someone’s home.

Delicious. Definitely one of the top Ethiopian spots for injera I've ever had. I only gave this four stars because some spots in St. Paul Minnesota and in Oakland California had even more stellar food. Some of the food I wish had more depth to it, but it was still better than most places!
