Lunch plate was a great price for a healthy portion of rice (or traditional bread), meat and two sides. The lamb was just right with a bit of spice that added a depth of flavor but was t overwhelming. I would definitely come back to try some of the other items, I was interested in the beef stew as well! Very cute decor and ambience, good for dates as well

Fantastic food. This is my first time enjoying ethiopian food and I have to say, it was worth the wait. I really enjoyed eating with my hands! The protein plate to share was amazing. Definitely coming back.

Food 5/5. Everything was flavorful and big portions. The space is nice and good for a date night or a bigger group. -1 star as some of the items on the paper menu were not on the digital ordering menu but our waitress was great and helped remedy.

We ordered the spicy lamb and the non-spicy chicken to share. The sides and the Injera bread tasted great, and the place had a happy hour. The lady who served us said that the restaurant had been around for 35 years, and I can see why. The place is popular for good reason, and an excellent place to visit and enjoy a good meal.

The food was tasty but there was an issue with our order and we wound up waiting over an hour for our food to come out. I’ll come back because the food was good and hopefully the kitchen issue was just a fluke. I loved the chicken tebsi and wasn’t a huge fan of the salmon.

Excellent and authentic Ethiopian food! Served on a large flat bread with small Flatbread to eat the food with. You may request a fork if the traditional way doesn’t work for you.

Such a lovely place with tasty food! Has an outdoor protected from the wind area and quite large indoor space. We ordered a vegetarian sampler with lamb and salmon and it was way enough for two people. We could not finish the food but it was so good, especially spicy lamb! We also tried a rum cake which was just ok but then i do not have a sweet tooth so perhaps sweet lovers would appreciate it more. I have to say that the menu has many drinks options ranging from mimosas (for those who like festive brunches) to different teas and coffees. I highly recommend this great food stop and will be back myself for sure!

Wonderful experience in every way! Food was fantastic, service was just as good. We told our server that we were new to Ethiopian cuisine, and she could not have been kinder or more helpful in helping us navigate a cuisine new to us. We had beef, lamb, and chicken with various vegetables. It was all so good, it’s hard to single out anything. It was all incredible. Great experience!

The atmosphere is beautiful and the wait staff are very nice. The 3 stars are only for atmosphere and wait staff. I have never had Ethiopian food before and I went here because of the reviews, but the food had no flavor at all. I was prepared to have an explosion of delicious flavors and was extremely disappointed and actually very shocked. It was honestly the most bland food I’ve eaten. The person that came with me had Ethiopian food before and told me she’ll take me some place else for the real experience. I ordered the chicken and she had the lamb.
