“We were hunting for Ethiopian food for one of our meals while spending the weekend in Twin Cities. When we stopped the sign was on but door locked as we were the first potential customers of the day...we waited and after about 5 minutes the door opened. We were glad we waited. The place is clean...the service ok...and the food amazing. My wife's lentil dish was the best Ethiopian food I've ever had. My beef dish was very good but hers was the winner! We will definitely recommend this place to others and will come back next time we are in the Cities.“

“We love Tin Cup Plus for its welcoming atmosphere, beautiful decor, and wonderful food from an extensive menu. We are vegetarians, and the veggie sampler is fabulous. We also love the fact that cocktails are available from the gorgeous sparkling, long bar. The booth seating is so comfortable. And we appreciate the easy parking - the lot is right out the front door. Visit this special place soon!“

“Embetito Dnish at Snelling Café

I keep coming back for this.

They call it Embetito Dnish—potato sandwich. Nothing fancy. Just warm sliced potatoes, fresh tomato, romaine, green senstro peppers, olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt, all wrapped in toasted bread.

What makes it hit? The contrast.

The warmth of the potatoes and bread. The cool bite from the romaine and tomato. The salty edge mixed with olive oil. A slight heat from the green pepper. And that twist of lemon—it wakes everything up.

Then there’s the tea. Hot, simple, spiced with Aforki’s touch. You feel it in your chest.

No menu can explain this. You just know when it’s right.“

“we walked in not knowing what kind of restaurant this was because it was the closest one to us and we didn’t know what to expect, but it was great! we’ve never had ethiopian food before and i think they could tell, the guy at the front counter gave us a sambusa to sample which was super super nice of him. we ended up getting fries, and chicken chipati, and a mango arizona tea which cost $27. it was plenty of food for the both of us so it was ~$13.50/person. great service, nice small, quiet dining area and great food! would recommend“

“super fresh, always authentic, and quite frankly my absolute favorite.“

“Had a good experience at this restaurant ! My Mom had never tried Ethiopian Food and it's been a while myself - the owner's son was very helpful in guiding us to decide what was popular and how we could try / share some of the food. They were big portions with a lot of injera bread. Would recommend.“

“Wonderful food and great experience! The service was excellent and the food came beautifully displayed and was delicious 💕. Will definitely be coming back soon for more!“

“Fantastic food. I found this gem on DoorDash and it is hands down my favorite vegan option in the Cities. The food is fresh and delicious!“

“Please have Kosh call me. Or have the owner lady call me. I wanted to discuss stuff. I never left bad review for you guys, ex-gf that impersonated me did. My goal wasn't to risk your license.“

“Just a few doors down from the Turf Club sits a genuine hole- in- the- wall gem. A unique dining experience of food with flavors to expand your pallet. We had the yebeg tibs and veggie sambusa and a just in case order of chicken strips and french fries, which, while delicious, remained largely untouched as the yebeg lamb tibs and veggies entree was the star of the table. A No Forks Allowed shared entree with flavors that dance in your mouth, the bread (is that what it's called?) comes rolled up and the protein sits on top like a carpet. You grab a little piece of bread and scoop it up and make a mess and laugh and eat and EAT. The sauce was a savory, smoky collection of herbs and with a Minnesota Nice kick of spice, if my 70 yo mom could handle it, you can handle it. The umami was out of this world (and helps me to finally be able to define the taste, actually) The veggie sambusa was a perfectly fried pillow of yummy veggies with a salsa for dipping and the chicken strips were fried to perfection with fluffy french fries. The server was fast, friendly, and offered suggestions and answered questions we had about the menu. This restaurant is an invitation to a cultural exhibition of flavor and best of all, our 2 entrees — both large enough to share with at least 3 people) 2 drinks, and 1 app were reasonably priced at under $50.00. If you're going to a show at the Turf Club, come early for parking and dinner at Dilla, you won't be disappointed. It is an excellent addition to University Ave, I am glad they found a home on our little stretch of road and we should welcome them with open arms and empty bellies.“

“Best customer service with quality products. They carry variety of Ethiopian and east African food and spices(now Restaurant is added). Reasonable price and nice location which is closer to down town Minneapolis(Franklin & 23rd Ave south).“
