Delicious traditional Ethiopian food served on ingera on large platters great for sharing. The server asks what level of spice you want and everything is flavorful and tasted fresh. No frills and great service. I will be back!
Absolutely amazing! This was the best meal I've had in a very long time! This is my favorite restaurant in the city.

I always have a great experience at Habesha. Excellent meals for vegetarians and worth it to stay for a special coffee ritual.
The service is extremely friendly too.

I'm really glad I tried this restaurant. The food was very tasty. Their bread is very different and they use this to eat the food vs utensils. If you like trying different foods from other cultures, you should give it a try

The food is sub standard. Was told it was halal, turns out it was not.
The man at the front seemed interested in his job. I'd tell anyone not to waste their time.

What a delicious and unexpected find! Extremely low key restaurant that you won’t fully notice and pass by completely unaware of the delicious homemade food that resides inside!!
It was my first time trying Ethiopian food and I was a bit concerned that it may be a bit too spicy for me but the servers were extremely nice informing me about the different foods and options that weren’t spicy and that I could handle. Their recommendations were on point and the food was just delicious! Full of flavor that will explode in your mouth and very generous portions as well.
Loved how they played the food, all on a big tray to share which was great and made you feel more immerse in the culture experience. Definitely amazing and can’t recommend enough!!!

In short, this place was amazing. The friendliness of everyone working was amazing. Most in our group had never had Ethiopian before and some of us were worried about spice levels. The woman who helped us, offered a bunch of suggestions and helped guide each person in our 6 person party. She was super patient and extremely helpful.
I ended up ordering the non-spicy chicken and we ordered double of the #3 on the appetizers menu (the combo) Oh man, those appetizers were the bomb. We got the ground beef option for the Sambossa. They were so flavorful. It was a huge hit with our group.
It was a very unique eating experience as there is no silverware, instead you are provided with Injera bread that you tear and scoop with your hands. Everyone had fun with the experience but it was unique for our group.
The chicken I got was fantastic. So flavorful, very well cooked, and juicy. The chicken with the slightly sour Injera was a good mix.
Will be a restaurant we will visit again and look forward to introducing other friends to this wonderful restaurant!

The food here is amazing—every time. I go at least once a month. It seems to be a family-run place, which gives it a pleasant atmosphere. They could use some more graphics on the walls, but given the quality of the food, I don't think that should matter.
The menu makes it look like it's meat-heavy, but you can get tons of vegetarian stuff, and even the meat entrees consist mostly of vegetable dishes.
The portions are huge, too. Make sure you're hungry when you go!
