You’re greeted with a smile, and treated with warmth and patience and a genuine kindness. Easily the most welcomed I’ve felt eating out in a very long time. It really makes a difference. You won’t be disappointed.“

“The owner was very welcoming and friendly, and the food was delicious! He claims he has the best rice in town and he is not wrong. Shoutout to their stewed goat dish, it's tender and spiced up in all the right ways. Portions are very generous as well.“

“I got the goat stew for my daughter and me. They were sold out of injeras, but the owner offered to substitute with rice and I was hesitant. Worried about the rice being dry. The aroma from the kitchen smelled so good, I decided to take a chance and order anyways. I am so glad I did! Everything was amazing!! The goat was tender, the cabbage and salad complimented the stew very well, and the rice was delicious. My toddler ate it all. We will definitely be back for more!“

“I have been coming to this place since I was a kid - they have the best deal in town for a prix fixe menu. It includes a really fresh salad with cucumbers and tomatoes, lentil soup, bastilla (puff pastry filled with either ground chicken or can be made vegetarian), your choice of entree and mint tea! I love the chicken with prunes and honey, the chicken with lemon and olives, the lamb brochette…there is honestly not an entree I’ve tried that hasn’t been amazing. The portions are really hearty too! It’s a true experience and not just a meal…you’ll definitely want to come back and bring friends to show them this awesome place!“
