Delicious meal! Uncertain what to order our server offered excellent suggestions. Three of us enjoyed lamb, chicken and vegetarian items that were perfectly cooked and medium spiced. I hope to visit again! The gluten free injera was delicious. 3/26

The people working here are super nice and the injera and meat tibs taste so home cooked and flavorful. The lentils and collard greens also mix together so well, would come here everyday if I could.The food portions are extremely generous and have the perfect amount of spice. The meat is always bursting with the best spices and flavors. 6 stars!!
