Huge fan of this place! My favorite restaurant in the world. The restaurant owners are so kind and personable. I love everything here, including the deserts and tea. You must try the Ethiopian coffee. I can say there have not been many days in my life that I am not craving their food.

This place represents everything that's good about a family sharing their culture and food with the world. Do we need more restaurants like this in Orlando? Absolutely.
When you walk in you'll be greeted with the warm scent of exotic spices which immediately sends your brain into, "oh damn, I'll bet this is gonna be good", mode. Mouths watering, we chose the combination meat and vegetable platter. Such a great way to explore many of their dishes on one go. Perfect for 2-3 people.
The chicken samosas appetizer was devoured with its bright red medium-heat dipping sauce (but without thought of a picture), and possibly the best one I've ever eaten. Balance. Undeniably made fresh by someone who loves to please.
You can tell that every dish is made with care and perfectly-seasoned attention to detail. The place is clean, warm, and friendly. This is a restaurant to which you take visiting family and friends.
Pro tip. You'll be served a ramekin of crumbled Ethiopian cheese: ayib. They list it simply as "cottage cheese." Well, it's nothing like cottage cheese as we know it, rather, it's this wonderfully tangy crumbled deliciousness that deserves to be sprinkled on everything as you mop up the goodness with the teff injeera.
The lager-style beer with the unpronouncable name, in the pic, went perfectly with everything.
Will return! Ethiopian Restaurant.

Amazing food we come here every time we visit
This was our first time trying Ethiopian food and it was pretty good. Glad to see vegan options and they tasted good. Service was decent but our server was a little timid. There's a charge to pay with a card vs cash. Prices overall are good. You get a decent amount of food for the price.

Great food, very friendly service by folks who really care about their customers, reasonable prices. Don’t miss the herbal tea, it’s made with cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves, and it’s delicious. The homemade honey wine is a must-try as well. Much more complex and less sweet than what I expected. All the classic dishes are excellent.
