This funky place is a favorite of many locals. I have very much enjoyed the vegan Combo Platter many times. The atmosphere is an interesting mix of rather plane and somewhat elaborate -- kinda funky, which is nice (rather than all up-scale). The servers are always friendly when I have been there.
Food is PHENOMENAL; get the combo platters. I dream about them regularly. Service is understandably a bit slow as it is a small, presumably family owned joint but entirely worth it. Feels like you're eating in someone's living room and I mean that in the most positive and endearing way.
I still haven't found better Ethiopian food in Philly! Even some places in NYC can't compare.
I will say this - if aesthetics/Instagramability, incredibly attentive wait staff, and super speedy service are what you're looking for... Leave this place off your list.
If you're looking for amazingly flavorful food, and aren't worried about waiting... This place is for you. It's amazing. HIGHLY recommend.
