Interesting food served by a kind woman. I may have been difficult for her to understand. But I ordered something I'd heard of and had before so I wasn't surprised. I'm glad the new owner is serving food again. I never got any from the previous owner. The bread I used to pick up my beef cubes was good, and so were the beef cubes. They've changed owners and the name is different. NyaaTaa!
Phone number is the same.

This is a bar/nightclub. We were told there is no food available. At least not that night (Tuesday) or the next two. The person there had limited English.

This is not healthy Reastaurant at all. They serve with expired food. Their enjera is kept for days and that is not healthy at all. I ate at this restaurant and end up sick the whole day.The bathrooms are smells like hell. I try to use the restroom and I through up right there.I recommend every one visit this Reastaurant to check their restroom first.

So I stopped in to try their food as I travel a lot. Well I stood there for couple min while no one was in the place. When someone came out I said I would like to place an oder to go. Well so didn't know what I said I asked for menu she said no, ok so I guess they don't serve food or fine by me, place looked horrible probably saved my stomach

My appointment is 21:00 I got loaded 1600 I love this place to come back again. Also Free Cookies box driver
Very flavorful and pretty spicy. We each had a unique dish and all of them were good.
I think the place has changed ownership. It used to be amazing. First, the door says open at ten. We came at 1150 and were told no one would be there to cook for another ten minutes. Got our one menu to share after a lady came in. Ordered traditional Ethiopian coffee, and we ended up with an Americano, possibly? Not the traditional spiced coffee that comes in the jebena. Ordered the meat platter to try which is supposed to have five different things. We ended up with three, only one of them was actually one we ordered. Big differences too. We ended up with what I think was lamb when we didn't order anything with lamb. Not a big deal, but there was literally almost no meat on the bones. Think it maybe tenderized and ended up in the sauce? Maybe, but I didn't see any. To top it off we were charged $30 when the menu price of what we ordered would have been $18. We wouldn't have even known how much we were charged until I checked the bank because no one gave us a receipt or anything. I literally have no idea why we were charged what we were or even what we ate. Ayashas was much better and way more friendly.

We went here because we wanted to try something new and different. The place was awesome!!!! Beautiful set up and wonderful people they were very helpful with the menu and I cant wait to come back here again!!!!!
This place might be my favorite restaurant in town. Delicious food, full of flavor. Cozy atmosphere that seems like a great place for friends to gather. Excellent prices for the portion sizes--my husband and I shared two entrees, and we didn't even come close to finishing them in one meal. We ordered the firfir (left) and the tibs (right), and both were excellent. They can adjust the spice level as you desire, so don't worry about it being too spicy. We also had some delicious coffee while we waited for our food. It's hard to find Ethiopian food in many smaller places, so it's a privilege to have Elilly here in town. Thank you for a great meal! We'll be back.
My go too for drinks
Friendly service. Super helpful if you aren’t familiar with the food.
