Starting from the injera (which is the soft bread) is made out of Tiff which is nutritious grain, since I am Eritrean I know the injera is made out of Tiff 100%, which is gluten free. The stew, especially the Shiro (which is the orange paste) , is so delicious, it's make out of roasted chickpeas and spices. I like to eat more vegetables and grains. The vegetarian combo is my favorite. Knowing injera gives me probiotics, I prefer eating injera more than any other bread.

Totally delicious, clean, home cooked-tasting food. The people working were super nice and I'd love to go back again when I'm in the area. Speaking of the area...it looks a little rough but don't let that deter you. They deserve our business!
