This was my first time trying Ethiopian cuisine, and it was such a wonderful experience! The food was absolutely delicious, and I’m so glad I gave it a try. There were plenty of vegetarian options to choose from, which I really appreciated. I started with the lentil sambosa appetizer, and it was phenomenal—crispy, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. For my main dish, I ordered the vegetarian combo served on injera bread, and it was both hearty and satisfying. I’d highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to explore Ethiopian flavors.

Also, I highly recommend trying their tea, it was another highlight of my experience.

​We had a great meal at Nafkot Ethiopian Restaurant & Bar. The food was truly the star of the show and tasted fantastic. The service was also very good. However, the atmosphere was a bit underwhelming and the bathrooms could use some attention. Overall, it's a solid choice for a delicious meal, but don't expect a fancy vibe.

Service was very slow, well over an hour and it wasn't even that crowded. Didn't receive any updates about why our food was taking long. I really enjoy Ethiopian food, and I enjoy the experience, and the food at this restaurant was pretty good but very small quantities for the price. Adding an extra chicken leg or something like that wouldn't be hard to do. Adding a combo plate would be great as well, for samples different things.

First time ever eating Ethiopian food and I believe we picked the best place to try it. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful in choosing our food and explain to us when everything was. Definitely a great place for a vegetarian to go.

Friendly service but not knowledgeable about menu. Factories are run down and have areas of clutter. Food is ok Ethiopian.

Loud food took more that an hour. Not prepared by culturally experienced cooks, who don’t speak Amharic or English. Wait staff friendly, but will say anything that they think will keep the customer from leaving. I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Our first time eating Ethiopian cuisine after a long time wanting to try. I took my parents here who were visiting and it was 5 stars fantastic! We ate every single bite. Thank you to Angel who was our waitress and answered our questions from the menu to help us decide and gave us great service!! Highly recommend.
