Food and service were fabulous - we shared the veggie combo plate (plenty of food for 2 people!). The restaurant is small but well laid out with plenty of space and light inside. It is not fancy, but perfect as it is.

Actually amazing! The food and the service were both some of the best I’ve ever had. The latte I was given was to die for and the owner was beyond kind! I recommend this to anyone who hasn’t had Ethiopian food as she will gladly recommend something you may like.

This was absolutely delicious! One of the best veggie combos I have ever had and DELICIOUS coffee! I will be returning, this is possibly the best Ethiopian food in the area. Also, the service was incredible and the people there were very kind!
