My first experience with Ethiopian food and the entire visit from start to finish was incredible. The food was outstanding, the staff was the perfect mix of professional demeanor, accommodating empathy (first timer), and ever so welcoming. I highly recommend this experience for any and all occasions.

It’s delicious!The staff is super kind and courteous. And the atmoshpere is amazing. You definitely need to visit here and eat a delicious meal and be treated like family.

I wasn't a fan of the food but it was such a nice, romantic and intimate atmosphere with friendly and helpful staff that I'd come back to try a different dish. I was trying something new and out of my comfort zone so if you like Ethiopian food, you will probably love it. I just wasn't a fan of the dish I ordered which should in no way reflect on the restaurant or chefs who were super friendly and even offered a different dish.

Best new restaurant to come to the springs in a long time. The food is an acquired taste but was very good. Service is good and the atmosphere is good. Nothing to complain about. Restrooms are clean too.

Amazing food and lovely owner!The owner is so sweet and accommodating, the food was so so delicious and well portioned and presented. I’ve been to a few Ethiopian restaurants and this has become my favorite. Absolutely loved the food and atmosphere of this place.I would recommend the food platter to share to get a taste of a few things, I loved each dish really nothing I didn’t like, it’s delicious!Also great vegan options, you can have the shared platter vegan or with meat.I visited with my Friends and they all loved it and we’ll definitely come again.Thank you!

I ordered the sambosas and vegetarian combo for take out. Portions are very generous and I loved the variety offered in the combo- 4 different lentils and 3 veggies- collards, cabbage with carrots and beets with potatoes; this will make at least two meals for me. The food is flavorful. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and completely empty for a Tuesday night. I know they opened recently but I hope the word spreads because I want them to succeed!Dietary restrictions: Great for vegetarians and for people who are gluten free.

The rich flavors of Ethiopian cuisine truly shine here. The injera was gluten free perfectly fermented, and the doro wat had a delightful blend of spices. The warm hospitality and cozy ambiance made the dining experience memorable. Can't wait to return for another delicious journey through Ethiopian flavors!"

The restaurant was breathtaking and elegant. Could host large crowds. Our waitress was as sweet as could be. You eat with your hands which was a little different but as they say, "when in Rome..." my problem was with the beef tips. They were very chewy and not tender at all. Would not recommend the beef. For $26 I would expect a better meal. No lunch menu.

Came in for dinner a little bit later on Sunday night, and had an absolutely fantastic experience! Has a modern upscale kind of look, with a very warm, comfortable, inviting feel. Food was fantastic, wife and I got a vegetarian combo and Awaze tibs to try different things. That was more than enough for two people, and every bite was amazing. Service was fantastic, Israel took great care of us, and the manager (didn't get his name) came by to chat a couple times. You can tell there is an emphasis on delivering a great customer experience here. Very highly recommended!!!
