We stopped in by accident on a Friday night. The food is incredible. The cook really understands herbs and spices and is making everything from scratch. Not being familiar with Ethiopian food, we randomly ordered samosas, lamb tips, beets and lentils. Each dish was a mouthful of delight. The beets were my favorite and my friend who does not like beets loved this. Not at all convenient to my house, I will gladly drive for this food and sweet little restaurant.
delicious sambusas! best coffee!
We came as a group of 12, ordering a variety of dishes. Besides the very friendly staff, the food was wonderfully presented, and, despite some never having tried Ethiopian fare before, it was all very good. For those not daring to eat using the interactive strip, they will provide our customary utensils...but we recommend the interactive which they make there.
