We had lunch here today as recommended by our daughter. It was perfect for us. Lots of vegetarian options with great flavors. We ate the lentil-stuffed sambusa too fast to take a picture. We shared the vegetarian combo with buticha (chickpea dip). We also enjoyed their Ethiopian beer and honey wine.

We've been going here for awhile, just ate here tonight and the food is consistently good. We usually get the banatu, special kitfo and doro tibs (not that spicy so my youngest kid likes it). Just wish they had an extra sink to wash your hands. We appreciate the good service & food and look forward to coming back again.

Kid-friendliness: Can be too spicy, doro tibs is not bad

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, big doors and ground level.

Our favorite Ethiopian food in the area. Terrific Vegetarian combo plate. We always get the one with mushrooms wot and buticha. Both are outstanding. Ample portions too. There is indoor seating as well as a pleasant patio.

Vegetarian options: There are several vegetarian options that are also vegan.

This is one of my favorite Ethiopian restaurants in the Bay Area. From everything I’ve ordered in the past few years, I’ve never been disappointed. They have amazing service, tasteful food and reasonable prices. I highly recommend stopping by. The restaurant also has outdoor seating which makes the atmosphere beautiful.

The food was way off tonight, completely different than usual. I won't be ordering from here again. Bad enough that we're throwing it out. Yeah.
