Three of us ordered two of the combos over Ethiopian bread with two sides of samosas. The samosas were ok, we guessed that they might have been bought from a grocery store. The combos were very delicious and authentic. We enjoyed the meal very much. The waitress explained the meals well and was very elegant, but seemed tired and was slow at times. Probably the fact that it was Dec 25 at night has something to do with slow service.

The food is really good! Sometimes you have to wait a while for the service though.

Great neighborhood spot! You should know there seems to be only one server, but she’s lovely and does the job well! The food is always on point. Love the blend of spices and highly recommend the doro wot (spicy simmer chicken legs). Truly a great experience every time and always well priced. Get a full meal and then some for less than you’ll expect!

I ordered a meat combo and there was hair in it. I nicely asked for a refund because.. that's disgusting and no one should have to experience this from a restaurant. The woman who I talked to told me it's never happened before.. as if that was proof it didn't happen!!! I responded pointing out my hair.. which is blonde and curly. The hair in my food was long straight and black. She told me neither her or the manager cared about my opinion and would not be giving me a refund. It's very disturbing the lack of respect this establishment has for their customers. I used to be a faithful customer.. safe to say I will never be coming here or ordering from them again. Here's a picture of my platter. Just so people know when they make mistakes they will not correct them. Disgusting behavior for business owners!!

The food is delicious but the service can be a bit slow. Depends on the waiter or waitress. I enjoy the food. Check them out for yourself.

Absolutely incredible. Immaculate vibes. I got into town late at night. This place took care of me, prepared a delicious meal (meat combo) made with clean ingredients and pure love. Highest and strongest recommendations.

Great authentic feel Ethiopian with large plates and reasonable prices, alcohol service, upstairs bar, etc. Recent renovations make the space even better. Meats like traditional kitfo can be asked for rare or raw. A few Ethiopian beers available if you are interested.

Wanted to try some Ethiopian cuisine and this was the nearest one where we stayed. It didn’t look like restaurant from outside but as we entered it was fully packed. At least 15 min wait for the table to be seated and another 15-20 min wait for the food. But the food was worth the wait. The lamb curry(forgot what it was called) was mind blowing. Ended up licking my fingers. Loved the injera too. Cozy and nice but little crowded. The ladies who served food were very nice.
