I love this restaurant SO much. Every single time, everything is delicious. The portions are incredible and so worth it (the best value for the cost that I’ve found in the area). I love the deluxe veggie combo and the sambusas so much! It’s also one of the only things my body can tolerate right now (due to health issues) while still being extremely nutritious AND delicious. Thank you so much for your amazing food!

Always delicious and quick. In addition to the imported injera, they make theirs in house so it's very fresh. Very nice staff. Parking is usually pretty easy or if you're taking out there's some space in the middle of the street where people park and put on their blinkers.
