Absolutely fantastic dining experience! The food was incredibly flavorful — every bite of the Injara with Meat Combo was rich, authentic, and perfectly prepared. You can really taste the quality and care in the cooking.
Tesh and Chaltu made the visit even more memorable. They were warm, patient, and gracious — taking the time to explain the dish names and guide us through the menu. Their hospitality and attentive service truly stood out.
Wonderful food, outstanding service, and a great overall experience. We’ll definitely be coming back!

I visited yesterday with my husband and a friend, and everything about this place was wonderful. The food was excellent—rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The owners were incredibly kind and courteous, which made the experience even more special. We’ve tried Ethiopian food at several well-known spots in Philly, and this was easily the best we’ve had. Highly authentic, welcoming, and delicious. I would 100% recommend this restaurant and can’t wait to come back.

The best Ethiopian food both my boyfriend and I have ever had! We were debating between the vegan and meat combo, and the owner walked us through what’s in each dish. We ended up getting the meat combo with fesoliya on the side – and we loved it! Personally, tikil gomen was my favorite followed by fesoliya and beg alica. I would absolutely recommend to friends and come back when I’m back in the area

In the suburban, Ardmore area, it is hard to find a good Ethiopian restaurant restaurants, but glad that we find one in this area. It is family owned, service is very friendly and attentive. Recommend to make reservation. We had the meat combo, the vegan combo, banana bread, and traditional Ethiopian coffee. The platters were fresh, good and authentic, the coffee was excellent, the banana cake was a little dry.
I am giving a four star because I think other Ethiopian restaurants in Philadelphia like Amsale Cafe food is a little more tasty.

It’s no coincidence that this place is 5 stars with almost 400 reviews. I have been to several Ethiopian restaurants around Philly but this is definitely at the top of my list. The food is authentic and fresh. Portion sizing is great. The large meat platter for 2 served four of us, with some still left over. The professionalism and kindness of the owner and servers are very apparent. Also, their restroom is a great addition (iykyk).

I really enjoyed my time at this place. I got the Doro Wot, and it was delicious! I will say that the injera is very filling, and the taste was a little surprising. It was my first time trying Ethiopian food and I was very pleased. Their banana bread is so good and tastes really fresh/homemade. The service was great, the chef walked around to each table greeting everyone. Thanks guys!

This mom and pop owned restaurant is a hidden gem. The owners are so sweet and are very patient explaining each dish as well as showing the proper authentic way to eat the dishes. Great atmosphere and the food was delicious. You will not be disappointed even the left overs hit. The traditional macchiato was really good of course. Side note the restroom was so pretty and very considerate having feminine productions (pads & tampons), lotions, and soaps. There are no negatives with this spot.

We tried Ethiopian food back in DC, I liked but my wife and daughters weren’t too impressed. Now my daughter asked to try this new place….they devoured their food! Some dishes are vey spicy, they don’t eat spicy, didn’t matter cause they devoured their food, sooo delicious! We’ll be back for more

Tesh and his family own this amazing, quaint gem of a restaurant and it is phenomenal vibes, food, flavor, and comfort. I brought my dad who has never tried Ethiopian food and historically doesn’t love food with as much flavor as African cuisine tends to. But this family blew it away with their delivery! Every dish was amazing and created with love. I can’t wait to come back with more of my friends and family. Thank you for a great dinner!! highly recommend!!
