Awesome Ethiopian food, best I've had in the city. Chefs clearly give a damn, get the kifto, beef tibs, and the sambusa.

But the atmosphere is what really elevates the place, one of the coolest dining interiors I've ever seen, feels like really nice home dining.

It's criminal that not more people are going, absolutely check it out before it gets popular.

My mom, grandmother, and I went here for a late lunch and it was great- delicious food (and good vegetarian options!) and lots of it for the price. Our waitress was really helpful in helping us narrow down what to get, too!

Best Ethiopian place in the area! Food is always delicious and there is plenty of it for the whole family. Our personal favorites are tartare (raw), collard greens, split peas, and lentils. The atmosphere is really nice as well, plenty of various seating available. Highly recommend!
P.S. Salam took care of us today, and she was very sweet ☺️
