A good option, it offers authentic Ethiopian cuisine in a welcoming atmosphere. Known for its veggie combo, fish dishes, and traditional coffee ceremony, it’s a must-visit spot. The attached market adds a unique touch, allowing guests to take home Ethiopian spices and goods. Friendly service and good prices.

I came here because insecure is one of my most favorite shows ever, it was on there and I was finally in LA. I’ve never had Ethiopian food but I was up for anything. The food was so amazing and yummy. It had just the right amount of spice for me, and I almost ate everything even though the portion was large - it was just too good to stop. Insecure brought me here but the food would have me coming back.
