A great spot for a quick and easy meal and nice quiet place for a date. Use your hands to eat - it’s all a good time.
The food is delicious and the service friendly but not overbearing.

I absolutely love this place. I stop by every few years with my husband for a date. It’s a bit far from where we live, but the 30 minute drive is ALWAYS worth it. The staff here is so kind and always helpful!!

I cannot recommend this AUTHENTIC restaurant enough!!

Meski (the owner) is a joy to talk to, as well as all of the other employees here. Their passion and love for food is clear in the quality of the dishes. As a person with siblings from Ethiopia, it is extremely important for me to have an experience that truly shows the love, taste, and passion in food. And our family concurs… this place ROCKS!!

Clean, quick, and filled with heavenly...
