First time coming and it was an incredible experience. I enjoyed each dish I had. The blend of spices in each unique dish was indescribable. The Chai was the best I've ever had. I don't identify as vegan or vegetarian but this will be a regular spot for me going forward. I love the atmosphere and it was clear to see this was a special spot as regulars knew the staff by name.

Highly recommend! This hidden gem offers creative, delicious, and nourishing dishes. With some of our party’s gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan needs, the menu was perfect. Two Celiacs were in our group, and we could have everything except for one item on the menu (the pizza, which is cooked separately so there’s no risk of cross-contamination). Some favorites include the flourless chocolate cake, the risotto, the gnocchi, the chipotle curry sweet potato soup, and the chai. It’s all made from scratch in-house. Price is very reasonable, and the tapas-style menu and quaint atmosphere make it a cozy meal out. We will be back again! :)Dietary restrictions: Gluten free, vegan, vegetarian

I liked the food but found the portion sizes on the small side. I did not like how I was treated during my last visit. My wife really enjoyed their tea and you get 2 cups in an order. She asked for another order and the server said that he will check if they have any left since they were closing in about 20 minutes. He came back with 1 cup instead of 2 and told us that that was all that was left. But when I received the check I saw that I had been charged for two orders of tea even though we only got 1.5 orders. I joked that why not charge for 1.5 orders of and the answer I got was 'oh we cannot change for 1.5 orders' to which I replied 'why not charge for 1 order then?' but I didn't get any answer. The whole exchange left a sour taste.
Wholesome flavorful vegetarian cuisine. Solomon is a very gracious host.Vegetarian options: Authentic Ethiopian fare.Dietary restrictions: The staff are very conscious/ accommodating of dietary restrictions.

Hands down favorite amongst our household, as well as every friend and family member we bring! Every single item is delicious and fresh. As long as they're open they have a customer with me.
