Interesting place. Very good food. The doors were locked during the lunch time hour, but they had a big bright "open" sign. Knocked on the door a bit, they let us in, nobody was in there eating. Anyhow, we ordered some food and it was excellent. Shiro wot, kitfo, and some lamb dishes. Very flavorful. Very delicious. The restaurant is a bit unkempt and dirty, needs a renovation for sure, but still, the food tasted great and staff was very friendly. I would go back.

First time trying Ethiopian food and it was a great experience. The server/bartender was really helpful while we were unsure of what to order. The beef was super flavorful and the portions were generous. The sourness of the injera is not a texture and flavor that will need to grow more on me.

I'm normally never out this way, and the two restaurants besides this one we're closed at the time. So what the hell, let's try something new!! The people outside and inside looked like they were enjoying themselves. So you order at the front counter your food and drinks. Take your number they give you to a table of your preference and wait. The ambiance of this place is super cool. One part of the restaurant is like a bike shop, if I remember correctly. It didn't take long for my Kimchi Bloody Mary to show up. Yes it sounds weird but it was damn good!!!! As some may know I love a good BLT!! This is not your regular smegular BLT. Wow of wow was it fresh and delicious. I finished that plate like I was starving!! I wanted another bloody Mary but I was driving home, so no bueno!! And don't be lazy put your own dishes away! Oh well til next time. Oh yes the bathrooms are clean

I wish I could have given this restaurant a higher overall review.It was my first time getting takeout From this establishment. I ordered the vegetarian combo.The appearance and texture of the food led me to believe that it was far from fresh. Worst of all, the food was so salty that it was almost inedible. I am not sensitive to salt, but this was extreme. Had the restaurant not been 25 minutes away from my house, I would’ve taken it back.

I called to order combo at 6pm when I came my order is not ready and I’m going to work . So I’m waiting for more than 30 minutes my order and I’m late at work . That’s why I call early to come pick up my order and it’s just disappointing while my food is not ready .
