Shara Ali here. I’m Ethiopian, I live in Brooklyn, and this is the only Ethiopian restaurant I go to in NY. Makes Bunna Cafe taste like Taco Bell. Fresh Ethiopian injera upon request. 100% Habesha kitchen staff. Come for the wot, stay for the vibes. Fantastic music. Dimly lit; perfect for a date night. Bryan the bartender/server is an absolute gem. Grateful this staple has entered the community in full force. Give my kin some love.

The experience here changed my perspective entirely. Restaurant workers offered acceptable care. Great food, casual and fun ambiance, fantastic service and lots of smiles all around. Each meal I've ordered was tasty. The service level is remarkably high.

Wonderful food, excellent service, shout out to Brian, who patiently helped us with the menu and what we would like. We tried a variety of things, all of which were delicious, good sized portions. The food was seasoned well, but not too hot.
Recommended place to try Ethiopian food. All five of us had a great meal and great time.

The food quality here never disappoints. Their attention to guests is the main reason to visit. Their food selection changes with the seasons. Their food is exceptional. Love, love, love.

I wanted to try something different and Bati did not disappoint! I had the vegan mixed platter with the injera bread and it was delicious. Would come back again in a heartbeat.
Great food, it fills you up quickly for a reasonable price. Taylor was lovely. Great dining experience

First time trying Ethiopian and I really wanted to like it and leave a glowing review, but I can’t.
The service was very warm and inviting and the interior was beautiful, but the food just wasn’t hitting.
I got the 7 Hour Doro Wot, which is the national chicken dish cooked in a spicy onion and Berbere stew, served with a hard-boiled egg. It comes with two sides, and my waitress recommended the Missir Wot, which is stewed split lentils, and Shiro, a saucy chickpea dish.
It all came served on a bed of injera, which is a spongy, sour, pancake-like flatbread, and they gave me a small plate of extra injera on the side. The food looked flavorful, but I was super disappointed once I took a bite of the chicken. I was expecting tender, moist meat, and instead it was hard and dry. The stew wasn’t flavorless, but it also didn’t have much going on. The lentils were okay, and the only thing I really liked was the chickpeas.
On the bright side, it was a pretty filling meal, though that might have been because I had a double smashburger an hour earlier.

Unmatched flavors. Staff that makes you feel like you’re getting a home cooked meal. Cozy and stylish. Playlist that’ll have you Shazamming through your meal. This place is going to be in heavy rotation this summer.
