The Hudade special combo was so delicious and satisfying. All the different items went so well together, with the veggies cooked to the perfect texture. This is the best I've had at any Ethiopian restaurant. Ordering take out was pretty easy, but the restaurant is welcoming and warm -- looks great for dine in. Will definitely be back.

This place is great. The food is delicious and the staff is very kind and helpful. They have gluten free injera (flat bread). They also have high chairs for babies/kids. The pumpkin was my favorite dish.Dietary restrictions: Vegan and gluten free optionsKid-friendliness: Kid friendly

One of the best vegan options I have ever been introduced to! Excellent coffee service and juice/beverage selections. Unique flavours and vibe. If you have never tried Ethiopian food- this is a great place to start.

The sambusas were the best I’ve ever had, and the next time I visit, I’m probably ordering three. The pastry was golden, flaky, crunchy, and so so flavorful. They were a huge hit with everyone at the table.Our hudade was great too, but the sambusas will absolutely be what we come back for.

we tried the buffet today. not bad, but not great either. i felt like they were either too spicy or too tasteless. the vegan buffet was $24/person. not worth it at all. with that price, one could get so much better food.

Amazing food each time! I got the vegetarian combo, gluten free teff injera (x3), a flax drink, and mango cake. Injera is a comfort food for me, and the different veggie wot and stewed vegetables were so deliciously seasoned. I love this spot!!!*back again 10months later, tried the millenium combo, shay latte, and suff! Everything was so good!! The shay latte was such a lovely, spiced, hot drink on a cold day. Im so happy they have the gluten free teff injera. The vegan baklava was delicious as well and enjoyed by the people who weren’t gluten-free ☺️Vegetarian options: Its all vegan!

What an awesome experience! :) I yelped for a vegan restaurant around LA because my friends are vegan and this popped out. I have tasted Mexican and American vegan cuisines all the time, but I never tasted an Ethiopian vegan before live alone an Ethiopian cuisine. So I checked both bucket list for my pallet :) The customer service is top notched and really helpful for first time customers. The ambiance is authentic as it can be.. so many decorations that symbolize Ethiopian culture.. what a treat! The food was great! I love their Barley Agave water called Tela. Omg that is really refreshing.. I really want a tub of that to chug.. it is that damn goood! The taste is sparkling and light flavor makes it a suited drink for the Summer. I ordered their feast combo, which our server suggested for us to order for 1 person. The combo have 9 menu dip items that complimented by their sourdough pita like bread called injera. They don't add utensils in their cuisine, which makes it better because you don't need a stinking fork to eat these delicious meal.. it will just get in the way.. experiencing these sort of food is an absolute treat! Overall, definitely coming back here again :)

My last in a Ethiopian restaurant was before Pandemic. Finally, my husband, a friend and I went out to dinner this delicious food. We tried the vegan place once I saw in Guy Fieri program. The food was amazing! And so fulfilling that I didn't have lunch today. Rsrsrs. We asked a combo for 3, $60. The service is very nice, but they were so busy, took a little time to serve us. That is fine. The ambiance is really nice, There is a part with a traditional tables. I was missing this type of food.
