Amazing food, cozy vibes, and the waitress was so sweet and welcoming!! Will absolutely be coming back to try more things and bringing friends. We ordered the mesob special combo for 2 and it was impossible to decide what we liked best!

Food is very tasty. There was some misunderstanding regarding what we thought we ordered vs what was served to us. We just pointed at the picture thinking it corresponded to the description below it. It turned out it was another dish altogether and we ended up paying more. Not a deal breaker though since the food was yummy.
Place was clean and cozy.

Alright, this place absolutely rocks! The staff was so friendly and the food was absolutely fantastic! This was my first time trying Ethiopian food and boy did I chose the right place. The staff helped me pick out the best options for a first timer and it didn’t disappoint! I highly recommend this restaurant and I will certainly be coming back!

Amazing food and service! We over-ordered so we could have leftovers, and the staff was very attentive and checked multiple times to make sure they couldn't get us something else we liked more. But we said no every time because we loved all the food! We just wanted to have some for later. I will definitely be back next time I'm in Minneapolis.

I enjoyed the tibs but there were a bit more dry than im used to. However the flavor was good. Gonna go in next time and dine in vs. Take out and see if I can order them saucy. The injera was fabulous

We’ve eaten at almost every Ethiopian spot in the twin cities and this place is the best! Aromatic, and well lit, clean and cute. Veggie platter for 2 was perfect. We will be back!

Vegetarian options: Veggie platter for 2 gives you a lil bit of everything and fills you up!

I really like this restaurant's Tegabeno. It's delicious when you eat in. However, when I order online for takeout, they don't have it ready and I had to wait there another 20-30 min to get it. Also, the quantity and taste is very bad. Especially when they have the most expensive Tegabeno compared to other restaurants. I stopped ordering take out for Tegabeno from them because of this.

It may look a little sketch on the outside, but this is a great little spot for some really good Ethiopian fare. My husband and I decided to do a meat and veg 2-person meal - perfect amount with good variety. All of the food was really good. The space was quiet, and the service was really good.

Amazing Ethiopian food! I’ve yet to find better in the Twin Cities on quality.

Highly recommend the veggie sampler. It’s huge and could easily be shared. There are tons of vegetarian and vegan options on the menu outside of the sampler as well.

5 stars for the food, the service, not so much. Expect to be here for a while. The restaurant is laidback, and while it’s always appreciated when staff aren’t rushing you out the door, getting the attention of staff here can be tricky. We waited almost an hour for our food to come out, and had a tough time getting water.
