The staff were nice and respectful, very attentive. The Ethiopian food however, was not good at all. Definitely more of a smoke bbq house than an Ethiopian spot!

Workers were kind, food was terrible. Food was cold and had absolutely NO flavor. Though we ordered for all our meat to be spicy. 0/10 would not try here again.

Incredible Story to read on this couple. If you go in for barbecue get there early plan ahead this place is sold out in less than an hour. That’s an incredible thing to happen.

The food is good. It's the fusion of Texas and Ethiopian food that throws me off. I've eaten Ethiopian food and have thoroughly enjoyed the flavorful spices. I wish there was more of that.

Husband saw this place online so we stopped in. You order before you sit and wait for your meal.
From line to sitting it was maybe 40 minute wait for the food.

We got a platter that feeds up to 4 people with a variety of things. They did run out of several dishes but the staff was very accommodating. Not big on the spongy bread that came with the meal but everything was decent.

I spent my whole day trying to eat here just for them to stay open for 59 minutes . Very strange . Got there at 1pm they said they wasn’t opening till 3 cool I had something to do at 330 so I left came back at 4pm said they were no longer taking orders . I was so irritated

When my group arrived for the reservation, the doors were locked and a sign on the door said they were out of food. Advance notice would've been nice for people with reservations.

Tuesday dinner platter😛😋😋

No chicken somosas on a phone in order. No one called to tell me to have it all ready, which would have been nice. But the food received was delicious.

The food was AMAZING. We had the combination platter for 2 and all I can say was that everything on the platter was delicious . Staff and owner always stopped by to make sure we didn't need anything else. My favorite was the brisket and lentils. They also have coffee and I am a coffee lover. My first time trying Ethiopian coffee and it did not disappoint. It was light but gives a punch. Next time in Dallas it's a must to stop by.

I order the Chickpea with beef cubes serve with Injera bread. There was ABSOLUTELY no beef cubes in my meal. This is the closest Ethiopian restaurant near me. Other than that I have to go to Dallas this isn’t the first time I’ve been disappointed RIDICULOUS!! And this mess wasn’t cheap!

I really wanted to like this place having read all the reviews and publicity. Friday night. Two tables in the entire restaurant. Service was slow. Food was bland. Pulled lamb was dry. We shared and had to ask for plates. Martinis were not good even though we asked for dry (lots of vermouth added), lemon twist (came with an olive), etc. They did bring another martini but I'm just not sure servers are REALLY listening anymore. This same issue happened at another restaurant the very next day. I know their food has to be good - perhaps just an off day. The servers were friendly but maybe need to up the game just a bit.
