This was my first time to an Ethiopian restaurant. Our server guides us through the menu, provided samples to set our palates and made excellent suggestions for the meal. The Yebeg Derek Tibs with lamb as protein was the star. Beef waa good but not as flavorful as the lamb.Teje (honey wine) was soda-level sweet. Enjoyable. Served in authentic glass. Loved that.
