Visited for the first time today and won't be my last. Food was very flavorful and they give such large portions, you can eat on your plate all day. I ordered the vegetarian combination plate and fish plate, and with a tip it came out to be $35. Very friendly staff and wait time was about 10-15 minutes but it's worth it. Highly recommend.

Great customer service and great food! I loved the lamb shank meal . It’s enough to share with 2-3 people. The beef sambusa was my favorite out of the chicken , beef, and lentil one.

I consistently enjoy dining at this Ethiopian restaurant, where the authentic cuisine and outstanding customer service stand out. I often call ahead to place my order, and it’s always ready, hot, and fresh when I arrive. Even when I get off work late and arrive 5-10 minutes after closing, they’ve always been accommodating. I will definitely continue to support and eat at this establishment.
