Had dinner here tonight. Great service. Food came out hot and as fast as I was able to eat. Dishes are hearty and vegetable forward, plus there was a fabulous appetizer of spiced sultanas, nuts, and what I think were freshly battered/fried chickpeas. Dinner is very reasonably priced at $5 a plate. Delicious. Fancy but feels homemade. Reminded me of my sister's cooking and she is a wonderful cook :') I will definitely be going back!!

Yesterday I went to Natural Oasis. It was my first time there and the food was Amazing!!! I am not overly fond of lentils or split peas.. but these were so good… I had seconds!!! The ‘bread’ was made from teff and the tomato soup had such a unique and delicious flavor. If you’ve not been before… I HIGHLY recommend Natural Oasis. It’s right on Monroe Avenue 😊

I walked in there and was like hmmmm I’m not sure. But holy hell I am so glad I stayed. Literally the most scrumptious food on the planet, to the point that my whole family talks about it a full year later.

It's not often $45 fills me and my partner up for dinner. Plus my mom ate with us, and we had left overs! Delicious food, will be back. We ordered take out and the food was still hot when we ate.

Probably our favorite restaurant in the Rochester area. Been going back for years. Anyone we’ve taken there has also loved it.

Okay. So this place was delicious. I am not mad at the food. The injera was probably the worse I've ever had tho.
This would've been a 3 star review had we not experienced price sticker shock. We were under the impression that we would control how much we had on our plate. The website lists 6.99 and the billboard in the shop says 5.99 per pound.
Great! Right? Well no, it's not a buffet. Probably was a buffet but as of this writing it is not. Here is your experience. You come in and wait because there's one cook and one guy doing everything else (it's a small place this is whatever) then he will sit you down and ask if you have had the lunch buffet. When you tell him no, he will not explain anything and just disappear into the back. He will come back with a little of everything. Great! So with our saying anything he will give you 3 lbs of food. A soup, and cut up pieces of super tangy injera. Which in itself is fine, but combined with the lack of transparency about this when you go to pay expecting maybe 5 or 10$ you get hit with 16.50$
The price isn't the issue. It's the lack of transparency. This place is not your traditional buffet. Make sure to clarify because they will not have the honor to clarify for your fresh experience. Had I known this wasn't a buffet, and the plate you're actually paying for is 16.50 I would've gone to zementa and getting a combo special.
What brought me in was the promise to control my portions for the price that's appropriate. What I got was a plate in front of me for a price I did not expect.
