Really pleasant little space in Temescal. Not the most complete veggie combo I’ve had, but great value and very tasty. Service was awesome. Full bar. They weren’t sure how to make a lemon drop, so they gave it to us gratis. Will definitely return.

It is one of my favorite restaurants, with amazing service. Sossuna goes above and beyond to satisfy the customers' needs by checking constantly. Thank you, Sossuna, from me and my invited guest.Parking: There is nothing to add.

Ordered beef chicken combo. Gave my credit card to young lady behind bar.She disappeared and returned with my card and receipts to sign.I left to fill up truck with fuel and returned to pick up the food which was so-so.This is the only business I physically handed my card to and on this very day fraudulent charges started appearing on my credit card. The first being a "Foreign Transaction Fee" of $4.59.

Ordered take out. Handed young female behind bar my card to pay. She disappeared and came back with my receipt to sign. I left to fill up the truck with fuel and returned to pick up.I got the chicken beef combo.Food was so-so.I was very disturbed however to learn that my credit card info had been stolen from this young female at this restaurant. This was the only business I handed my card to and on this very day unauthorized charges started coming through.The first was a "Foreign Transaction Fee" of $4.59

We came by for dinner and got some recommendation for non-spicy food. The service was excellent and the food came fast. The food was not spicy but it did lack something although it is not bad by any means. It may be our fault for asking non-spicy so next time will have to try the regular spiced food.

We are blessed with a lot of delicious Ethiopian food options in this neighborhood but this one is my favorite. I recommend the veggie combo platter.Vegetarian options: Veggie combo platter

First time trying Ethiopian and I had a great time! Not only was the service quick and friendly, the food came piping hot and was absolutely delicious. Couldn’t ask for anything better :)

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I have been to several Ethiopian restaurants and this is by far, my favorite. The restaurant isn't packed which is really nice. Prices are great too.

I love Ethiopian food and this place doesn't disappoint, complete within chill vibes and friendly hosts. Veggie Combo (my half).
