Most unique gelato I ever had. But it wasn’t bad! 👍🏻
Love this quaint Ethiopian/Eritrean restaurant very much. Every time we come to northern VA we visit for a Balanced breakfast and a cafe breve. The bread that comes with the breakfast is crispy on the outside and angel-food-cake-esque on the inside which is great to clean the plate with. The enjera is so flavorful you forget it's a vegetarian dish! The staff are super friendly and efficient! The owner is in sometimes and walks around to each patron. Highly recommend 10/10!
Incredible food, especially their breakfast!
Such friendly staff too! One of my favorite restaurants.
