Chose this as a last minute decision an hour before they closed. Our server was so sweet and helpful in recommending what to order. We got the veggie combo and Beef Kwa-yat, and it was delicious. Perfect for sharing and if you have never tried Ethiopian food before definitely try the veggie combo. 10/10 would come back

While taking a short trip to New Orleans we decided to eat here twice because the food was that good. We even brought some leftovers all the way back to TN. We’re still dreaming about it, and wish we could get it delivered.

The food was absolutely delicious. Full of flavor in every bite and they are absolutely generous with portions. Great service and seating outside was very spacious, clean, and no bugs. Will definitely be back!

The food is SO GOOD! Lamb tibs and goden tibs were absolutely amazing, really flavorful and juicy. Customer service was top-notch—very very kind and generous, even gave us an extra serving of food we wanted without us having to ask. Extra injera comes at no cost. Absolutely recommend!!

Update... I can't believe I'm actually doing this after all these years, but I have to take away my five-star review and drop it to a four star. Service is incredibly questionable every time I come in. The price changes every single time. I usually order one of two things every week. Each time I come in, there is a different server other than my friend samson. They must not be able to keep people around because it's always someone new and they never fully understand what should be on the plate. So something always comes out missing. When I ask for it, it often pops up later on as an additional charge. My meal tonight was almost $30. I don't think it has ever been that much before. Now there's an additional charge for using a credit card. I like going here and I have been a patron for years, but when stuff like this consistently happens it makes me reconsider.

Here was my original review.

One of my favorite restaurants in new orleans! I can't believe I haven't left a review for them already and I'm almost at 200,000 views. Stumbled across this place years ago checking out restaurants on Magazine street. I've been a regular ever since. I'm even friends with one of the guys up there, sampson. He and his family run the place. I think I've had every single item on the menu at this point and they are all amazing. Kitfo is life! If you aren't into eating that much meat, there are so many vegetable options. The Shiro is hands down the best in my opinion, but all of the vegetable options are great. I even enjoyed the fish. It's a small restaurant talked behind a stand that sells soup and other goodies. It's a very simple and quaint environment, but don't let that fool you. The food is incredible. The service is always great. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. I'm getting hungry thinking about eating there now. Ethiopian food is so simple yet so Savory and flavorful. Swing by one day and see for yourself.
