Rolled up to this restaurant with 9 folks from the west coast and asked for them to bring us the foods they like best (minus seafood). Oh boy was this a delicious meal. Honestly, I'm not from DC but this by far was the best Ethiopian food I've eaten. Everything was delicious and we all stuffed ourselves way too much. Thanks for the great meal!
Great Costumer service and Fresh food with wonderful staff member
Okay, so bizarringly enough, this place got two Michelins from 2023 and 2025. The staff here made me wonder. Like they were genuinely lost or confused, the food however is definitely Michelin though. Just saying.
