This place was an amazing experience for me! I've never had such an incredible combination of flavors in my mouth. We just ordered everything they suggested and it was all spectacular ? ? I would definitely recommend everyone to try this place at least once in their life!

Vegetarian options: Lots of vegan and vegetarian options available!

My friends and I like to try different cuisines and I had never tried Ethiopian food before. We ordered the sample for the four of us and the servers brought it out pretty quickly.

The bread that came with it was soft and had a crepe-like texture. it was also sour like sourdough is, but it was delicious. The dishes in the sampler were great. I loved all the selections of greens and the lamb and chicken were delicious. The bread made the dishes easily scoopable....
