Used to love going here when it was a dine in and really glad they still have take out. The food is delicious! Before they opened, I had to drive down to Chicago or Minneapolis to sample Ethiopian food. After they did, never had to, I daresay it was even better in many cases. Great fresh taste, variety, loved the authentic single platter with hand communal dining experience and the servers were awesome. Now with takeout only the menu has understandably been pared back, I no longer see some of my favorite old combo meat platters and some vegan choices from before but the entrees they retain remain strong offerings with Doro Wat, Yebeg Tibs, Awaze Tibs and Kitfo along my staples on takeout every chance I get. The tongue tantalizing flavors are just something else, one of the best Ethiopian restaurants I've eaten at, bar none. Highly recommendedVegetarian options: Fewer offerings than before but they do have choices for vegans that are delicious and you get portions with the meat entrees as wellDietary restrictions: The teff injera is gluten free if I'm not mistaken

Wish we could have dined in, but very pleased with the take-out we got. Generous portions that were wonderfully seasoned and nice injera, meats, and veggies. Definitely recommend.

Really super nice location with a friendly store owner and the best part is that the vegetarian combo is really tasty!

We ordered some takeouts a few nights ago. The two salads were really refreshing. I loved the vinegar sauce. The taste of Ye Tibs Firfir and Doro Wot was amazing, but there was only a single drum stick in the Doro Wot. It was too little chicken for full size chicken entree in my opinion. They give a huge amount of injera, which is good. However, the proportion of the overall dish is off for Doro Wot. The owner was really nice and the food was delicious, but slightly disappointed with the Doro Wot. Otherwise, I would have rated this place 5 stars.

Great food. I had the Doro Wot with Veggie platter and it was excellent. Prices are economical. I enjoyed the experience of eating with hands as that's how we traditionally eat food in my country (India) too. ?

Spicy beef tibs, gomen (greens), lentil soup, doro wat…. Very flavorful and healthy… very good portion size, will definitely get you full… my favorite restaurant hands down!!!!

My first time ordering here and let me tell you, don’t sleep on them! Absolutely delicious and fresh. Additionally, the customer service was superb. I ordered takeout, selecting their veggie variety platter (collard greens, lentils, etc) and I couldn’t wait to bring it home to enjoy. The portion is well enough for two people or for two meals for ~$17 after tax. WORTH EVERY CENT. Go for it and don’t look back.
