The people who run this place don't sell food, they provide medicine nurtured with love. You can feel the kind love energy when you walk into this place. And the huge glass windows for ample people watching is such a plus. What a beautiful life we get to live. Blessings and abundance to all! P.S. don't freaking forget to get the sesame, flax, and sunflower smoothie! OMG, medicine never tasted so good and refreshing after spending time in the sun, honey bun!

Very flavorful and delicious food but I found the portion sizes quite small and was not full after dinner

A nice ethiopian restaurant just near the highway and Grand Lake Theater. Their gomen and beef ribs were amazing, but I'd probably pass on the atalkit next time. We also ordered some spice tea and mead, very tasty. Stop by for a nice evening out, the place is clean and COVID compliant.

The only reason I’m giving a negative review is because I have gone to this restaurant two times because Google says they’re open, only to get there and they’re closed. Please change this online and I will add Four 4 Stars.

Tasty well presented food with friendly staff. Service was a little slow to get greet the table but we were busy chatting for a good 10 minutes before noticing. Otherwise, we were happy customers!

Discovered this restaurant 11 years ago while visiting my sister who lives in Oakland. Now it's a must visit place every time I come to California. My favourite restaurant in the whole world. Love the food, service is very friendly and there's plenty of space in between the tables. Will be back. #mushroomheaven
