We attended the Malcom X 100th Birthday Read a Thon and stopped in for our first experience with Ethiopian cuisine. The setting is unassuming. Everyone inside was speaking another language, perhaps Aharmic? Some were sipping coffee that was served in lovely pottery. We ordered Sambusas, some veggie dishes and a chicken dish. Food is prepared to order so sit back and enjoy the wait. Food arrived hot and was tasty. We loved the chickpea sauce the best and the Samusas. The hot ginger tea was divine. Everyone was super friendly.

Fasika Cafe in Roxbury is a true gem for authentic Ethiopian cuisine, and their tsom firfir is a standout dish that keeps me coming back. Made with pieces of injera soaked in a richly spiced sauce, the dish is completely plant-based but still incredibly hearty and satisfying. It’s well-seasoned with just the right kick—bold, comforting, and deeply flavorful without being overwhelming.
The portion is generous, making it a perfect option for a filling lunch or dinner, especially during fasting seasons or for anyone looking for a meat-free meal that doesn’t skimp on taste. Fasika captures the soul of Ethiopian cooking with warmth and tradition in every bite, and the tsom firfir is a beautiful example of that.

The vegetarian combo was delicious, especially the shiro, gomen, and misir wat. The injera was perfect. We also had the foul (ful) with soft warm bread. Very good!

Review of an Ethiopian Restaurant
I recently had the pleasure of dining at this amazing Ethiopian restaurant, and I must say, the experience was absolutely wonderful! The food was incredibly delicious, full of rich flavors and authentic spices that made every bite enjoyable. The variety of dishes was impressive, and everything was cooked to perfection.
Not only was the food outstanding, but the service was also exceptional. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and very attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The waitresses were especially kind and professional, adding to the warm and inviting atmosphere of the restaurant. And enjoying Ethiopian music 🇪🇹
Overall, this was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had. If you’re looking for delicious Ethiopian food and top-notch service, I highly recommend this place!
Always a gem! Way better than the few other Ethiopian options in Boston/Cambridge.

Good food but slow service and poor communication about when food would be ready. Order took 20 minutes. Lady asked me if I wanted rice, I said yes and she seemed frustrated with my answer. It was odd.
They also have a huge menu but don’t offer it all. My first request was denied because they didn’t have it.
