This was AMAZING!! I’ve never had Ethiopian food before but wanted something that looked healthier than my typical. Mango drink was delicious. I ordered the plate for 2 with my choices being #1,2,5,10 and 11. I would recommend each of these. The lentils and chicken are a medium spice level that did have my nose running but that’s perfect for me.

absolutely loved it here! the food was tasty and flavorful, and the environment is so comfortable and relaxing. the vegan signature plate was good so i’m excited to try the meat options my next visit. the dessert was absolutely INCREDIBLE one of the best desserts i have ever had. the whipped cream was perfectly light and not too sweet, but still rich and flavorful. service was amazing as well!

Food was delicious and really reasonably priced. We got "the works" which includes all the vegan and meat dishes along with salad and injera. It was more than enough for the four of us (we couldn't finish it all). Service was friendly and quick. We arrived rather early around 5pm and the restaurant was fairly quiet but it picked up and got busier as time went on. Definitely recommend :)

The food was delicious. We had a party of 4 and didn't know how to articulate the combo of items we wanted and our server kindly and accurately interpreted what we wanted. And it was a much more affordable route than our original plan.

It's easy to go vegetarian when the lentils taste this good. Fresh quick healthy what's not to like. The meat options are equally as tasty. Recommend

Love this place! Ordered the individual veggie combination for take out. In town visiting for the weekend and passed this spot on the way to the hotel. So glad I stopped and will definitely return on my next visit.

This is an awesome place to eat. The food is great, always very tasty. The music is just the right volume so I can stop here and do some work while I'm eating. The waitress, Sham, is always very friendly and so professional. Always such a pleasant experience!
