Food is very good. There isn't much atmosphere, but you come here for the food, not the atmosphere. Have eaten here several times and there seems to be only one or two working both front and back of house. That's fine. What I did not like is the server adding an auto gratuity for 4 adults and a child. That's. It a large party. I have no problem with the gratuity amount, and would have tipped a similar amount. But I'm against the auto gratuity. I wont be back for this reason. But I also dont go to places that do surcharges.
Love the outdoor seating, service is super helpful, and food is delicious! One of our go to dinner spots in San Diego which keeps bringing me back year after year. the beef, lamb and chicken plates are awesome, and surprisingly enough one of my favorite dishes is the lentil side! try a glass of the honey wine to go with it too!

The food here is amazing. If you are looking for authentic Ethiopian food and a unique dining experience, this is the place.
Offering an intimate dim lit atmosphere you can sit indoors or outside.
I came here with my mom, who is vegan, and there were plenty of items on the menu for her and they were all delicious! I look forward to dining there again!

Service was ok, they forgot about us. However, if I could bathe in the berbere sauce I would. The dishes are large and generous, and have a good variety for vegan options.

Disappointing! I went to this restaurant a while ago and liked it so I took my family from Germany there. I shouldn’t have, it ws emberassing. The waiter was the rudest person I ve met.. we went there to eat vegan and he tried to convince 2 people to take a meat version. After I said we re eating all vegan, instead of minding his business he replied very arrogant and sassy not even being asked that ‘people like their meat’ ok bro its not your dinner table who asked you?! If you have a complex with vegan food dont sort this out at your work place. He also wanted everybody to take 1 plate as he recommended from 1 plate/dish two people cant get full.. as we ate there before I know for a fact thats not true and ordered 3 dishes for 7 people. He was clearly upset and when our food came he brought us one small ridiculous plate to share for everyone(?!) and 3 small side plates. We obv complaint and he become sassy and impolite telling us this is the only thing we ordered (for 65$ haha) and he can bring us napkins because they dont have plates. Wow this was a joke, when I pointed out after a while all dishes that were missing he emberassingly was like ‘hmm I dont know where they are I am gonna ask’ and never came back. I bet he was ashamed after this attitude as then the chef came and apologized on behalf of him as they messed something up with the order. They forgot a whole plate and send us something we have not ordered. The food was cold afterwards but we still ate it. Btw we also got all the side poates then and we had leftover food. It was an unpleasant experience and def the last time we come here to eat. What a pitty as the vegan food tastes good but there is plenty other restaurant around. Train your waiter properly or get a new one, this experience was unbelievable.

Updating my review. The chef must have changed because all the dishes we got were a major improvement from our last visit.
Worth giving a try again if you were disappointed like us before.

I recommend any person who visits San Diego to come try this restaurant. The staff is always kind, the food is delicious and it is a rare cultural experience that you can get close to home or vacation home.
I've been more than once, and have tried many items on the menu. I've enjoyed everything and so have the friends I ate with.
