Ordered a roast beef sandwich and it was very very good. They add chilis which is a very nice touch. HOWEVER after paying for the sandwich, tax and a 15% tip it came out to $14. This price is a little bit too high considering there’s a subway in the same strip mall. My advice is to reduce the price of the sandwich by a dollar or $1.50. I’m afraid that the price is going to be a deterrent to new customers getting your wonderful menu

Business on the front. Party in the back. There is a hidden room in the back for Eritrean men to play pool and hang out. The food is good quality and cooked to perfection by the women behind the window. The Beef Tibs is so fresh and so tasty. Lamb Tibs, Shiro, Tibs Firfir, Kikil, Tsebhi Derho (Doro Wat) are great to order as well and try the taste Eritrea 🇪🇷 The injera bread it’s great too.
