The place is wonderful. People are friendly, including customers and servants. I would recommend this place for anyone.

I am very much on the hunt for good Ethiopian food in Philadelphia and this area in particular seemed like it would have it so I was very hopeful. Ultimately, the restaurant was just okay.
For one, we came in at a time when they were very not busy and the reception was not so welcoming--which can be fine. But then your entire experience in deciding upon food is through an app, which I wish weren't the case and wish there were more interaction with someone who could provide recommendations. It took a full 28 minutes to receive our first food, which was the sambusa and very much not worth the wait or the money. Be aware that the prices currently are very different than those listed on Yelp/online. So the $7.25/2 sambusa platter finally came and was a much too hot to eat and really just full of lentils with nothing else-a fairly dry concoction. After another long wait, we received the 2 mains on a plate of injera. The doro wot was what we were super pumped about as it is advertised as their expertise. This consisted of essentially two chicken legs (minimal meat) and a sauce that was fairly mid in terms of flavoring-especially not worth it for the price. We had also gotten yebeg tibs, thankfully, because this was infinitely better in terms of flavoring and portion. This ultimately filled us up. The most positive aspect of the meal was the injera itself, which was nicely done and plentiful.
We had initially considered getting some meals to go but once we had the actual meal and experienced the 1) service and 2) price, we ultimately decided against it. Which is a shame. I appreciate that they maybe were a bit busy with lunch takeout but in terms of who was presently in the restaurant it felt like things took an exorbitant amount of time. Will probably try one of the many other places nearby next time.

The people here were so nice but the food itself was super bland. I’ve eaten tons of Ethiopian dishes in my life and by far I was the most dissatisfied by this one. Not worth the wait.

I went here while visiting Philly and just having that need for injera (whenever I feel like I'm getting sick I want kitfo). The food here is of high quality. I've been to a lot of Ethiopian restaurants throughout the US and UK. Quality of this food is up there with the best.
Fantastic tibs. So flavorful. The smoothies are really good too, I got a coffee/banana flavored one.

Just a joy through and through. It's nothing fancy and it doesn't have to be. The food is good, the service is quick, the food is good, and the food is good.

The only thing is they no longer have physical menus. You have to scan a QR code.
