“New Ethiopian place in Greenwood. It was to die for… the vegetarian dishes are actually vegetarian, no chicken stock, and their dry meat, whatever that means… let’s just say it’s not dry and it’s to die for!!“

“Family owned restaurant in Shoreline. The lady who I assume is the owner, is very sweet. I came here a few weeks ago and ordered Jollof rice with lamb and fufu & egusi soup. The Jollof rice was amazing!! ??? a little heat to it but nothing overbearing. I feel that the amount of lamb was much too little though. I guess the Jollof rice is the star of the dish (not too mad at it).
It was my first time trying egusi and I did not like it. Don’t let that dissuade you though, it’s most likely my tastebuds seeing as I don’t like fish that much & crayfish is in it. I would definitely come back regularly for that Jollof rice if it wasn’t so far from me! Come check out this small owned business!“

“I highly recommend this place. The food has so much flavor and taste amazing. The chill atmosphere and friendliest customer service I’ve ever had. I will definitely be back again and again. This place is Seattle’s best kept secret.“

“Good food.Love the fish..“

“Absolutely love this place! Always a welcoming atmosphere and great staff. I have to point out... those chicken wings be hittin' Yasssssssss!!! On Point! 🍗💜🙏🏽🍗💜“

“Ok it's not about the service, my friend speaks fluent Somali and he took me here to try the food and introduce me to some of the regulars who come here for food and community. it's not a 5 star date spot but if you can get past the looks, the food will not disappoint. It's not advertised by big signs and lights for a reason, it's a community spot spread by word of mouth not run by American capitalism. Try it out and thank me later:)“

“I stopped in for lunch following a meeting, and had an incredible meal of mafe (spicy peanut sauce with root vegetables over jasmine rice), and a cool glass bissap (hibiscus extract with pineapple juice). Why this place isn't mobbed defies comprehension. SO. GOOD.“

“This was my first time trying Nigerian food, and without reference to other examples I enjoyed my experience.

I ordered the jollof and goat meat, the Odogwu beef stew, and fufu. The jollof and goat meat was very flavorful. The meat was tender and juicy, and the rice was tomatoey and savory. I've always wanted to try fufu and was both surprised and pleased at how easy it was to swallow! It was a perfect accompaniment to the stew. Unfortunately, though the stew was also very flavorful, a similar tomato-forward flavor as the jollof, I found the beef to be extremely dry and tough. I will probably get a different kind of meat next time.“
