If the servers were not with us the first minute we got in and we got our food order before they brought us drinks, what of it? This is Ethiopia culture. The food was tasty and well flavored, with the right amount of spice, and the injera spongy with good eyes. We ordered the meat and veggie combo on one platter and it fed 5 of us quite nicely. They kept the injera supplied and also brought out traditional cheese, ibe. Definately hope to be back someday!

This was a great place to do a double date. Delicious food, large portions, and a good cohort of native ethiopians enjoying the atmosphere made this a wonderful experience. I highly recommend.

What an incredible meal! I think the awaze tibs were some of the best Ethiopian dishes I’ve ever had. Don’t miss out on the vegetarian combination platter. The portion sizes were huge and well worth the price. My girlfriend and I ordered three dishes to share and had a ton leftover to take home.

The food here is fantastic and they have dishes not on the menus of other Ethiopian restaurants in the area. Service is friendly and efficient, with no unnecessary interactions. The atmosphere is very casual and relaxed; if you want to sit and relax a bit, you’ll feel no pressure to rush off.

This is a restaurant I could eat at every day for the rest of my life. I wouldn’t hesitate if the opportunity were available to me. I have in three trips experienced the top five meals of my lifetime, two of which now hold the #1 and #2 position. I can hardly find the proper adjectives and depth of quality and value that my meals here have brought to my life. Upon my second visit (I had the beef tibs the first time around) I ordered Qey Wat and the veggie combo, I was moved to tears. I ate alone each time and the tears were primarily motivated by the overwhelming wish that I could share such exotic delight with a loved one friend or otherwise. I have eaten a wide variety of foods throughout my near four decades of culinary experience and I wouldn’t recommend any other choice in the whole world more highly than this combination of flavors and textures. Please do yourself a lifetime experience of ordering the Qey Wat and veggie combo, also enjoy a glass of tej. I’m deeply grateful for my experience and I will take every future opportunity I have to visit this blessing to earth and people.

If you haven’t ever had Ethiopian food, now is the time to try it!
First of all, I LOVE how veggie friendly and gluten-free friendly they are! All the injera is gluten free (some places use wheat as a filler. Selamta says theirs is all Teff). The veggie combo is enough for 2-3 people to share, or three meals for just me! They absolutely don’t skimp on the injera or the meal itself. And it’s all SO GOOD. It doesn’t feel oily or heavy, just filling and delicious. So flavorful. And so much variety: carrots and potatoes, a couple types of lentils, collard greens, split peas (my favorite), beets, and a couple more I’m not remembering. Each one has its own flavor profile and texture. Do yourself a favor and try Ethiopian food! Make sure you order a honey wine with it.

Delicious! Ethiopian food is one of my favorites, and this spot compares to the famous Demera in Chicago. I definitely recommend ordering a dish to share with a bottle of honey wine!

Nice local Ethiopian restaurant and bar. Some traditional favorites like tibs, sambosas and awake. Only wish they had more.options as the tastes were great. They have a little sports bar area with a pool table.

Essentially, service is friendly but painfully slow and incompetent (more on this below) BUT the food is JUST truly incredible, authentic, and succulent. Be prepared to wait WELL over an hour for your food—butI promise it will be worth the wait.
When we visited, we ordered a starter salad for the table and 3 dishes—a meat combo and two veggie combos. Restaurant was empty. The waitress was nice but did not check on us once after bringing us water (someone else came by an hour later to refill our cups). She was not busy and was often at the bar checking her phone. We had to explicitly ask for our starter salad to be brought out after 45 minutes because we were just famished! It came out 15 minutes later. Another 25 minutes later, only the meat combo dish came out, and the waitress informed us that the chef “was not familiar with all of the items in the veggie combo” and could not complete our order (????), so she asked us if we were okay with eating meat instead to supplement the other parts of the order. We were bewildered that the waitress waited over an HOUR after we ordered to inform us that the plates we ordered couldn’t be made. We do eat meat so we agreed (also because we were so hungry!), but we were completely floored. We waited another 25 minutes for the other two orders to be done, so we couldn’t eat with the rest of our party. It was among the most bizarre dining experiences we’ve had. I will say that the quality, presentation, and quantity of the food more than made up for the service, but if we ever come back here, we’ll likely order take out—and we’ll be prepared to give them ample time to prepare the order!
