Fantastic food and big portions! We tried sambusas and diced chicken and rice. The diced chicken was out of this world and would make me come back again! The hot sauce complimented the chicken and rice and brought out a new flavor. Really liked the homemade mango juice!! The owner was kind and helpful about ordering and service was great!

Amazing delicious food! Helpful and fast service! Huge portions – so satisfying and reasonably priced. Chicken and rice lunch comes with salad and two kinds of hot sauce on the side.

Chopped Goat meat and chicken Legs. The rice was super good.
Salad was a bit boring with the only option of Ranch dressing. It is an old building but still looks clean.

The goat (#1 on the lunch menu )my husband had looked and tasted like it was on the verge of being spoiled and had a green ti t to it. The beef dish I had tasted like it was dumped out of a can. The tea was fantastic. There was no toilet paper in the restroom and the whole place was dirty. Ethiopian food is one of my favorite cuisines. Thes was NOT it. 10/10 will NOT be back. I’m scared I’m going to get food poisoning.

We enjoyed our lunch quite a bit! This is very authentic and it seems like folks from African communities actually eat here. The bbq chicken was super super tender and flavorful. The rice was incredible. You don’t get goat in a lot of places and we had it as one of our entrees. Very tender and right off the bone. Owners were very nice and helpful! You order up front and then sit down to wait for your food. We even got bananas for desert. Parking wasn’t a problem for us. Keep prayer times in mind. The restaurant closes when staff heads to prayer. Give it a shot and see what you like.

I was very impressed by this location. Wasn’t 100% what to expect but I enjoy trying new things. The service and food was fantastic. The place itself was very clean and very comfortable. Parking is quite tricky, I recommend parking in the lot just south of the strip the restaurant is in and walking the half block.
