Authentic Ethiopian experience, incredibly flavorful food with generous portions. I have eaten here dozens of times, it is a go-to spot for our family. Whether you’re looking to dine in or take out, the food is amazing! The all veggie or veggie/meat sampler platters are the perfect amount for a group of 4.
