“This is a hidden gem to South Seattle (West Hill) Community. Street parking is available. Fresh brewed coffee imported coffee from Ethiopia! Never too crowded and IF you’re ever looking for a meeting space, I think the business are able to facilitate.“

“Went here for Father’s Day dinner and had a really good meal. We got a meat combo and a vegetarian combo to split amongst the four of us. The food was great! Some dishes were spicy and some were not but they all were delicious. Our server was friendly and helpful throughout the meal. We got there after 9 pm and had no problem getting a meal that late. We will be back.“

“Some of the best food I have ever had! I will definitely be coming back. The coffee is delicious, too!“

“Brought my family to try Ethiopian cuisine (where they’re from it’s basically non-existent). Not pictured, we also had shiro and coffee. Always order extra injera. Family appreciated the alcohol selection. Everything was delicious, the service was excellent, and the ambiance was great.“

“Sometimes it's hard to see this place driving down Rainier, but you can smell the goodness coming out of here. The patio was packed with locals from the East African community, and not a single hipster in sight, so I HAD to check it out. Glad I did. Took home some amazing spicy lamb tibs and it was so good I just had to take my partner here for dinner a few nights later. She was impressed as she ordered what I had the last time, and I had the Keye Wott (which was nice and spicy but not too spicy). Looks to be a family run joint, and the staff just loved that I came back and brought my partner here. Highly recommended.“

“A limited menu means they do what they do very well and if you're looking for Ethiopian, this is a great spot. Early evenings, they've always had a table available. It often feels like we've dropped into someone’s kitchen, staffed by family. The dishes come out with an unmistakable made-with-knowing touch of authenticity. I almost hate to put up a review, it's such a local-to-Burien gem!“

“I requested a special dish that was not on the menu and she hooked me up💪🏾. I even left my wallet and she stayed late for me to come back and get it. I love this place“

“Okay, so we just tried this Somali place on Rainier Ave and wow, it was amazing! It’s a little off the beaten path, which was nice. The goat was unbelievably tender – seriously, the best I’ve had. Portions were huge, we practically left with four meals! The rice was perfect and they gave us a free banana, which was a lovely touch. It wasn't super busy when we were there, which was great. The couple running it were so friendly and welcoming. My only suggestion would be to bring cash, the card machine didn’t have a tip option. Definitely going back!“

“I enjoyed sometimes ago It was great .The kitfo and tibs has great home food style“

“Just grabbed lunch at that place on S Mead St. It was packed, seriously long wait even though the menu looked pretty simple. The food was decent, portion size felt a little small for the price. The staff were all super nice, even though they seemed a bit overwhelmed. Maybe a few more tables would help!“

“Absolutely delicious — every dish was flavorful, authentic, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented. The restaurant has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for spending time with family or even enjoying a meal by yourself. I’d come back just for the food! I highly recommend trying their vegetarian combo — it’s full of rich flavors and perfectly balanced.“

“I will be making my first Ethiopian dish and came here for a couple items that are hard to find elsewhere. Injera and fenugreek seeds. The lady working today was very friendly and helpful, as the fenugreek was in a ziploc bag and not labeled. The injera looks very good and has a nice color to it. Not much parking out front so I parked next door and walked over. Great little market, just research what you need ahead of time so you know what to look for since many items are not labeled. Good prices too! 3 large injera and the bag of fenugreek is bursting at the seams. Just $10. I will come back for more authentic Ethiopian ingredients!“

“man this food was off the chart I am very excited to have tried African cuisine being an African-American“

“Just had dinner at Momona in WA 98118. It was really busy – had to wait about 20 minutes for a table. The staff were so friendly, almost like family. I got the salmon and it was seriously amazing, really flavorful. Portions were good value. Just a heads up, double check the hours online, Kenny mentioned they were closed on Sunday even though the website said they were open!“

“Yusra & Sabah Restaurant is a must-try for incredible East African flavors! The goat meat with spiced rice (bariis) and tender suqaar are perfectly seasoned and melt-in-your-mouth delicious, paired with fluffy sabaayad flatbread and that fiery green sauce. Don’t miss the aromatic spiced tea (shah)—it’s the perfect finish. Everything halal, fresh, generous portions, and super welcoming vibe. Best Somali spot around; already planning my next visit!“

“Just had a quick lunch at Zula on Rainier Ave. It was pretty quiet when I was there, maybe 3-4 other tables occupied. Portions were decent for the price, nothing spectacular but satisfying. The staff seemed a little distracted, and the place felt a bit sterile – could use a little more life. Parking was easy, thankfully!“

“This isn't your bs 5 star advertised review. This place is legit. It's like a private club inside. The atmosphere is authentic, the service is prompt and professional and the vibe is relaxing. Clean and fun. I'd strongly recommend this place for a couple or even a business dine in. Very smooth. I will be back!“
