Amazing food! We had the vegetarian sampler and some sambusas. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The injera was perfect.

Super friendly and helpful service!

Fabulous Ethiopian music playing with other patrons occasionally singing along.

We enjoyed a glass of the homemade honey wine which was delicious. Next we split sambusas which were flavorful and crispy. I had the beef awaze tibs which was delicious. Our friends split the mahberawi and enjoyed it very much. I believe it was the sweet owner who was doing everything when we were there- waiting tables and cooking apparently. The food was worth the wait!

Amazing food! I loved all the distinctive and delicious flavors in the veggie combo and my friend got a fish dish that was mouthwateringly good. I don't normally like fish, but I was ready to steal his plate!! Service was perfect- welcoming, kind, and had everything we needed. The atmosphere is beautiful and laid back. It was clearly a local hangout, but we felt comfortable immediately and enjoyed our time immensely! I love Ethiopian food and this is absolutely my new favorite!!
