Best experience having traditional Ethiopian food here everything was delicious. The service was great and I can’t wait to come back again. We got the injera and beef tibs + berber wings, they were to die for!

Simply outstanding food and service. The coffee and teas were excellent. The food was amazing. The deserts were outstanding too. The service was just heartwarming. Great value for your money to! The bean appetizer, chicken drumsticks and beef dishes were to die for. The carrot cake and rum soaked cake were divine!

I found this spot through a fortunate wrong turn. The warm setting keeps prices fair. The food maintains excellent standards. Cooperative, unpretentious, and sincere. I feel fortunate this spot is close by.

What an incredible find! Food was delicious. Portions were huge. Tej (honey wine) was perfect. Ambience was great. And, best of all, Abraham was amazing - friendly and attentive.

Amazing spot in Harlem!
The food here is absolutely incredible—so fresh, flavorful, and made with care. Every dish tastes authentic, and you can really tell the ingredients are high quality. The prices are also very reasonable for the amount of food you get, which makes it one of the best deals in the city.
The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and it truly feels like a hidden gem in Harlem. If you’re looking for authentic Ethiopian/Eritrean cuisine, this is hands down the best spot. Highly recommend to anyone who loves great food and an amazing dining experience!

Polite service, delicious food this was my first time having this dish and it was amazing! I would definitely come again. Just a bit pricey but worth it for a fresh meal that has flavor. Also the honey wine is the best wine I have had!!

Came for lunch and got the zigni with timtimo and green salad. Outstanding. Service was faster than I am accustomed to in an Eritrean restaurant and I really appreciated that! Reasonably priced for how much food you get. I will definitely come back when in NYC. My only complaint is that they had a vegan sampler, but not an omnivore sampler. I like to get one for myself and eat on it for days 🙂 No liquor license yet.

First experience of Eritrean/Ethiopian dishes. Visited at Sunday lunch, and was not crowded. I was able to see fresh baked injera being carried by the owners, and their injera is savory and very tasteful. Ordered tsebhi beghe, timtimo, and alitcha with qemem tea.

Got the quesadilla and a meat + 2 vegan entree combination. You can’t go wrong with any of the dishes, honestly. Hearty, savory stews served with light, tangy injera!! And we got a rum raisin cake with coconut ice cream for dessert, naturally.

The owner is a very welcoming, polite, and hard working guy. He made sure our experience there was nothing short of exceptional. The injera was amazing! They have vegan options, as well. In photo: Beef Tibs, Shiro, and Alitcha
