1st timers. Athea, our host, was very pleasant and helpful. We ordered a lamb and chicken dish to share. We started with sambusa for appetizers. Very tasty hot pockets with beef and a dipping sauce. Chicken was fall of the bone delicious. Lamb was sliced nuggets that were cooked perfect. Our meals were served on a tray with their equivalent of a thin sponge like bread that is actually your eating utensil. You just tear this bread and pinch the food with your fingers to eat....

This was a 45 minute ride and worth it 100%. We had the BEST waitress, Athena help us navigate the menu and selections. The food was WONDERFUL and the wine and beer were terrific. We opted to skip appetizers since we thought we might fill up too much. It was a great decision since the portions are generous. This was my third Ethiopian meal -once in Europe and one in Philadelphia. This was just delicious and did not disappoint. We worth the trip...Plan to return for those appetizers...

Truly a gem - we saw plenty of regulars and it's clearly deserved. The owner is a sweetheart and kindly boxed our leftovers and explained the best way to reheat them for us. Both the food and honey wine were delicious. They have gluten free injera and even gave us a card to call a day in advance next time so they can be sure to have some available for us. Couldn't recommend this restaurant enough.
