Amazing food and the service is above and beyond! Extremely warm and welcoming. Will answer any question. Loves to share! We tried the Ethiopian coffee,, Sambusa, Derek tibs, Miser wot, plus the gluten free injera. She also gave us a taste of the chickpea stew ... Can't say enough. Hidden gem off of Columbia Pike.

My 16 year old son found the restaurant for us to try. He was craving Ethiopian cuisine. From the time we walked in the door, we were treated as family. Genuine care and attention was put into explaining how the dishes were made. Without sounding trite, we both remarked that we could taste the love that went into our meal. We got the Bethel Special for 2 it was nicely portioned and presented and so very flavorful!!
They also sell Ethiopian spices at the restaurant and I bought a huge bag. Now I need some cooking classes to go with my spices!! Please try this restaurant. It is amazing.

An amazing small café that serves fantastic food. The owner was so kind and happily showed us the Ethiopian coffee ceremony and let us sample some of the coffee free of charge. Truly a great experience, and I will be going back.

Honestly, Ethiopian food is not for me, but the lady who works there was extremely helpful. Food was 1 maybe 2, but the service was 5 stars

First time eating Ethiopian food and was a little nervous. The owner welcomed us and helped us order (we got the veg and meat platters). When the food came out, she brought utensils but showed how to use the bread to scoop the food in the traditional way. It was so good, and I'm so full! Highly recommend it!!!

It’s over priced. Food is okay. Tea and veggie combo is 25$. It’s too much for the service you get.

I ordered food from here on DoorDash and it was so delicious. Planning to dine in one day because I’ve heard great things about the service. Will be ordering from here again soon.
