I wasn’t sure what to expect before visiting — I thought it might be more of a sports bar or club — but it turned out to be a great restaurant with delicious food at very reasonable prices.
The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff (and guests) were all very kind, which made our experience even better.
My only small critique is that there was incense burning during our visit, which gave off a strong smell. It seemed like it may have been covering up tobacco smoke, though we didn’t actually see anyone smoking inside.
Overall, the food, value, and friendly vibe make this place one I’d definitely recommend!

Excellent! The veggie platter is huge and so delicious. Nice spice level on the lentils and I love the shredded beets. I recommend asking for additional injera. Well worth the price. I got mine to go but the restaurant was spacious and welcoming. They do have incense burning in case anyone has asthma or breathing issues.

EDIT: Rating is still a STRONG 5, but now I have been here and eaten here multiple times. Recently I came here on a Saturday afternoon.
This place is packed on Saturdays, lots of activity, lots of TVs with multiple sports playing, and a very fun and boisterous crowd. Despite the crowd, service was still prompt and everyone was super nice.
Just give it a try!
Original: It took me way too long to give this place a try. I walked in and was greeted at the bar with a smile, and a cold glass of water.
I was just in to get some food to go but grabbed a beer while I waited. It was served ice cold in a nice glass.
The menu has a great selection of items and everything sounds delicious. Ended up getting the ZilZil tibs and would highly recommend that dish.
I’m very happy with the taste, quality and portion I received for the price, and cannot wait to come back and work my way through their menu.
Also, if you are into espresso drinks, definitely come by and give this a try, their set up is impressive.

First time here, and will be back! Ordered awaze tibs. Fantastic. Legit medium spice. Very oily, but delicious. Would appreciate if the meal came with some kind of veggie side dish.

A neat place tucked away. I was here before volunteering for a community event and the staff were incredibly kind/helpful. The food they offered was fantastic and it was a fun atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back, so 5 stars from me!

They are very slow one staff you wait very long time to get your food. You wait very long time to order. It’s just not a good customer service. I was very disappointed. I came with my dad is very sad. We couldn’t eat for like two hours. we’re waiting and then we have to leave. I will never come back to this place again

Food looks really good and smelled wonderful. I am a chef. I did not order any but I will be back soon to try it. Atmosphere….the large tables with ornate chairs are unique to a sports bar. The people there were very kind and welcoming. There was nowhere to sit except a few empty chairs at tables with patrons. I was offered a seat at many tables. I was the only white person there to watch a soccer match and I felt welcomed to be there. Beer was cold and crisp and only $4 dollars for a Summit Saga. Service was awesome.

We were invited to a gathering with some Ethiopian friends and we were not disappointed. The food was just as good as that I had in homes and restaurants in Ethiopia. The space was very nice with large screen tvs around the room. Food was fast and very flavorful. Very authentic and highly recommended. We got the veggie combo and the zilzil tibs. There are other tibs that you could get and the food can easily be shared for one dish for two people. We wanted lots of leftovers and got that.
