Really good vegetarian combo. Probably the best shiro we've ever had! And they ship the injera bread in daily from Ethiopia. Nice selection of Ethiopian drinks too. Great spot!

Some of the most delicious food I’ve ever had. This is my first time eating Ethiopian food and I can’t recommend it enough! The flavors are amazing and I loved getting the beef and veggie combo so that I could try a little bit of everything! The servers were very nice and welcoming as well. Definitely give this place a try!

Came here with my girlfriend for dinner and we couldn't have been more satisfied. The beef tibs platter was delicious, varied and savory with a good mix of vegetables. Injera bread was perfect. Staff were friendly and responsive. Came here on a foodie friend's recommendation and I too would recommend!
