This place was good. Don’t expect large portions of meat — when we ordered the chicken meal it was served with a single drumstick. It wasn’t exactly what I had in mind but the flavors and quality of the dish as well as the service was excellent. You might get too full anyway with all of the extra injera you’ll get with your food. For what it’s worth it was a good time. However, I may not visit again just bc of the portion provided from the meat itself.. not a big deal....

Such incredible food, oh my goodness! A true hidden gem in San Diego. Very kind staff, very much family owned and operated kind of vibe. It’s not a place you go for ambiance, it’s one of those super authentic hope in the wall kind of spots. Will definitely be back!!
