I ordered the vegan platter with rice. Amazing. Loads of food, all delicious. I ate all of it. Probably could have saved some for leftovers but it was too good.

A beautiful space, delicious food, friendly service, and lots of offerings for vegans. You can get a vegan platter with a choice of up to four different items out of half a dozen choices), plus incredibly delicious injera bread. Portions are plentiful – all of us took half of our meal home. There were six of us and all of us loved our meals. Also, once a month they have a traditional coffee ceremony. This place is going to become a regular one for me! Updated from previous review on 2025-07-27

We’ve been here 2 times and will most definitely be returning. The food is delicious!!! The owner is absolutely lovely and the Buna ceremony was neat to experience the process of green coffee beans to roasting to sipping! Wonderful! They have great selections and the portions do not disappoint. We’ll be visiting regularly in the coming year! Thank you!!!

Parking: Across the street… be sure to pay the meter. Fyi: the meter is also across the street. A bit confusing so be aware of this if you are driving there.

Happened upon this place accidentally and was very happy giving them my money! The owner was there the night we went and spent quite a bit of time talking to us about the food we ordered. The fermented bread was amazing! Will be back.

Food was great! Very friendly service. The variety of food on offer was varied and everything was spiced nicely. We have meat eaters, a vegetarian and a vegan in our family and each was able to get exactly what they wanted. The injira was perfection!

Wish I could go here more often! I have gotten food here as a "regular" customer and a 2Good2Go customer. I love their cabbage the most, but really everything I've had here is good. If I still lived on Greene St I would be coming here in the AM to try the coffee. I kind of miss the little grocery section they had in the back when they first opened. Staff is very nice, and patient when you can't immediately make up your mind.
