Outstanding food and even better service. I wish I'd taken pictures of the food, but the kids polished it off before I could blink. The kitchen gladly accommodated our son with special needs who required some additional food preparation.

A very tasty Ethiopian restaurant in a uncomfortable basement space. The vegetarian dishes here are amazing. I thought the chicken was dry. The ingera has that amazing sour taste that it should have. The space is crowded. The back is unsightly. But over all a great meal.
Wheelchair accessibility: Definitely not. Downstairs in a basement.

I was chasing different Ethiopian restaurants in the city with higher reviews and ultimately needed to come back here and give it a 5 stars bc all the lower ratings are incredibly misleading!!!!
This is a true gem in Greenwich village. Complaints I saw came from folks who have never had Ethiopian food, people who wanted luxurious decor, or impatient folks who don’t understand that your restaurant can run out of their 100% teff injera option.
I’ve had both dinner and lunch here and they’ve been a home run! Get the pure teff injera if you can, and if you’re lucky to do the lunch special, I am in love with the vegetarian options. Flavorful kik alicha, a buttery garlic yellow lentil, misir wot, buticha, fossolia, and gomen, and the cabbage too!!! I asked for a side of spicy chili salt called mitmita which if you know you know!
Happy to visit this establishment weekly!!

I specifically came to this Ethopian restaurant because they advertised on their website that they have gluten free Injera. I came, and they said they don't have it. I was annoyed by the fake advertisement, but I was still hungry. I ordered a lamb dish, and it only came with a palm full of meat bits. Was very much disappointed with the tiny rations, not to mention the dirty walls. I recommend going to a different Ethopian place.

Honestly I thought this was the best Ethiopian food... it felt so homemade, simple, and really easy to take in flavor that felt like comfort food. The place is kind of a local neighborhood feeling shop and I like it for that. Opposite of pretentious and the staff is also equally down to earth. I always get the chicken cubes which gives you a LOT of food which is healthy, guilt free, but also filling!
Food was fine, same at 19 years ago. Interior could use an upgrade. Worsts part was that an employee sat in the back of the small room and played the same YouTube airplane altercation video over and over. There’s enough noise on the street. Why do customers need to listen to someone’s YouTube rabbit holes on their iPhone?

This was by far the worst Ethiopian restaurant I've been to.
The injera didn't test anything like an authentic injera. This is by far the worst injera I have ever eaten, the wote (stews) were so small and badly prepared, the service was so terrible as well.... this is by far my worst ethiopian restaurant experience I had. With their service, I'm so surprised to see people inside the restaurant honestly...
