We got the special combo platter with the Keysir and the Kilt. it’s plenty of food for two people. We liked the raw beef and the chicken, and we thought the stewed beef was okay. Food came out a little bit slower but overall not too bad.

The food is great, the Mushroom Tibs was especially delicious, it’s full of flavor with well-balanced seasoning.
However, the service kind of ruined the dining experience. I guess it depends on the waiter, and unfortunately, ours seemed upset from the moment we arrived. He didn’t bother to mention the names of the dishes, and at one point he even tossed the wet wipes onto our table when we were nearly finished.
We still left a 20% tip as it seems to be the culture here, but I couldn’t help wondering what we had done wrong to deserve such poor attitude.

If there is one place to hit up when you are staying in or near downtown Ithaca, this is definitely the place! I discovered this quaint Ethiopian restaurant while living in downtown Ithaca as a Cornell student, and it’s now the first and only restaurant I go to when I’m back in town. The food is absolutely delicious and made me fall in love with Ethiopian cuisine! My go to is always the individual entree with Doro tibs as the meat of choice and gomen and kilt as my sides. Not only is the food incredible, the portion you get for the price is unbeatable. For context, my ‘go to’ dish (pictured) is less than $25 (excluding tip)! The service here is always a big plus. I had gone at 7PM on a weeknight during the dinner rush, and I seriously think I waited 10 minutes or less for my food. The staff is also super friendly, attentive, and the overall atmosphere is a whole vibe. Would DEFINITELY recommend to check this place out!

I tried this Ethiopian restaurant because I’ve had many Northern African and Middle Eastern dishes. Service is great, but they are short staffed so be patient. This is a dining experience in a rustic setting. We had the individual dishes, and they were very large. There are also dishes for two as maybe a better price/option. Yebeg Alichca and Yebeg Wat were delicious. The four sides were fabulous, too. Wat, Kik, Gomen and the veggies were great compliments to the Yebeg. The dishes are served with pastry rolls, something like a cepe, to use as an eating utensil. Worth the stop in!!!!

I’ve eating at many Ethiopian restaurants throughout the country and in Europe, and this was the worst I’ve had. The veggie dishes tasted too sweet and other dishes were too salty. The service was not bad but our server was obviously miserable and had a bad attitude. They also charge automatic gratuity which is fine, but the 6 dollar sharing fee is excessive. The portions are massive and way too much for just one person. Definitely feels like a tourist trap.

Not easy for gluten free. We double checked if the injera was gluten free. 1. It is not, depite the fact that traditional injera is gluten free. 2. We were told they could make it gluten free with 24 hours notice AND for $5 extra. The largest up-charge for gluten free Ive encountered. 3. The waiter suggested rice instead…but they don’t have rice. So it was suggested to go somewhere else to get rice first. We love ethiopian food so we tried it anyway the next day, and it was…not our favorite ethiopian food.

Kudos to the few servers working hard at this very busy restaurant. The food was amazing. Delicious. I loved it. L-O-V-E. I got the two meats + three veggies for one. It’s a great portion for its price. My friend and I went on a hike beforehand, so I was cleaning the plate.

Huge portions, delicious food, and a completely unique experience. Great place to go with multiple people and share plates, as there will definitely be enough to go around. The mint lemonade was fantastic, and the tortilla like bread (forgot name) was delicious and a great way to enjoy the food. Very filling and would definitely come back.

Honestly this may be the best Ethiopian food I have ever had. Every bite was incredibly flavourful and satisfying and the portion was extremely generous. We had to stop ourselves from gobbling it up too fast!

This is my favorite restaurant in town. As a parent to a young child, I don’t get out as much as I used to for dinner and I look forward to eating here for a night out. The food is so flavorful, great portions, and I dream about those beets. The meat is good too but I am partial to the veggie dishes. The mint lemonade is delicious. I would highly recommend! It’s a fun place to eat with friends or a date.
