Trying out this place since our old favorite has since closed after many years (Tana).
Came in the afternoon and there was no wait.
Got the vegetables platter which had split pea, puréed red bean, lentils, sautéed cabbage. Doro wot is a chicken stew with a hard boiled egg added. This dish was very satisfying.
The raw kitfo or beef tartare with butter and spices was also good but just a different flavor profile from what our family has had in the past.
Injera is also quite delicious, but charges for extra.
Coffee was smooth and so good, although was served without the usual ceremonial roasting and grinding.

So we paid 60$ total (including tip) for a combined veggie and key wot platter!!
The food was soooo nummy-licious. I say that as a foodie who loves spicy food, flavors, and texture. The service was so amazing, me and my friend went around 7pm on a Wednesday so it was mostly empty but the guy who works there (I presume the owner) was super kind and generous. The beef stew in the center was super delicious and spicy. I really enjoyed the collared greens, they had a slight sour flavor as well as the yellow veggies (idk what they are) but they had a pickled flavor to them and it was amazing. There were 3 types of lentils, all differing in flavor, my favorite were the green ones. The orange-brown paste were chickpeas, they were good too. The cheese was okay, it honestly just tasted like cheese.
If you’re not a foodie or into spicy or sour foods then maybe the veggie platter and the spicy beef aren’t for you, my friend didn’t like the strong flavors as much as I did.
But I definitely think it’s worth the try!! I’ll definitely be going again.

I love this restaurant! The food is excellent, healthy, and rich in flavor. The flavors and textures are unlike any I’ve tasted in other cuisines. Delicious!
The family that runs this restaurant is absolutely wonderful. Rarely have I experienced such warmth and hospitality in a restaurant. They truly make you feel at home. Highly recommend!

This place is so good at the flavors it offers & the price! We got the key wot and vegetarian combo plate, with the tea at the end. Everything tasted great
The owner, who rang us up, was so sweet & welcoming.
Compared to prices in Little Ethiopia in LA, this was well priced. Cost us about $60 for everything with tax/tip
A must have if you’re in the area

The food here is absolutely outstanding — rich, flavorful, and authentically prepared with fresh ingredients that bring out the best of Ethiopian cuisine. Every dish is beautifully spiced and has vegetarian options. Prices are very reasonable, especially given the generous portions and exceptional quality.
What really makes this place special, though, is the owner — incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. His warmth and hospitality make the entire dining experience feel personal and memorable. A true gem for anyone who appreciates great food and heartfelt service.

Extremely friendly staff! Great food! It takes a bit of time to prepare so just be aware of that as everything is made very fresh! Inside of place is nice and clean. Went on a Sunday with my spouse and son. Would definitely go back to eat here. Also, portions are large so you could share one or two plates with three to four people easily.

Authentic Eritrean-Ethiopian. The servers were all so sweet and helpful. We did one veggie combo with two meat options as recommended at the counter, and we were not disappointed. We ordered 3 items total for two adults and a teen and we ate our fill and had enough to take home for at least a small meal. This kind of food requires a table of people to enjoy since it’s family style, so always make sure to bring at least one other person with you!

Amazing food. Licked the plate clean. A good friend and I were able to enjoy an assortment of beef and veggie dishes. It is a wonderful casual place. It was just right.

This is one of the best spots to get Ethiopian food in the city. Hands down. The Awazae Tibs, Doro Wot, and the Veggie combo are an amazing combination. Get extra injira you’ll need it! It is always quiet here, plenty of parking, and very affordable.

Went with two friends and ordered several items to try (veggie combo, doro wot, alicha wot, key wot) Each one was so flavorful and the house-made cheese was a perfect cold way to reset the tastebuds in between bites. The owner and waitstaff were extremely friendly, the atmosphere inside the restaurant felt like a small community. The spiced coffee was pleasantly different from a normal black coffee. The spice blend in it warmed the heart and stomach. Can’t wait to be back for more!
