Wonderful food and service. Food is extremely flavorful with a great variety in the half meat /half veggie combo. Great portions and a great deal. Lovely host too!

Great neighborhood spot.

Food is amazing. They make everything fresh. They even make their own ingera at 5am every morning! Wow. Everything is super flavorful as you'd expect. All the usual ethiopian dishes (tibbs etc) are delish and they've introduced me to some type of red rice that came with the appetizer that was awesome and also bread that they make for holidays that was freshly baked.
Portions are huge.
I've also come to get some coffee which was great. Gonna try their coffee ceremony next time.

Cozy little restaurant (the storefront looks a little rough but don't let it fool you). I generally enjoy Ethiopian food and this place was no exception. I went solo and they offer a one-person platter (meat or veggie) with I think 6 dishes. Reasonable prices.

I went to this restaurant for lunch while on a school break. Honestly, the food is a lot for few dollars ($25). I thought I was given food for three. The atmosphere is so welcoming: music playing in the background, and happy, smiling, welcoming waiters engaging you in positive conversation. I highly recommend this restaurant.

You should absolutely give this restaurant a try! I love Ethiopian food and this is among the best I’ve ever had. It is made fresh every day by the cook, Esther, who is very friendly. One of the things that I appreciated most about it was that each of the dishes tasted *really* different and were flavorful in their own way. Also, and it’s super affordable and we walked home with enough food left over for another entire meal! Oh, and if you like vegan food the veggie combo is fabulous.

Vegetarian options: Has a great vegan combo platter… you’ll enjoy it!

Dietary restrictions: They have a vegan combo platter.
