He recommended an Ethiopian beer. Delicious. We had a couple appetizers he recomm

This is a must go to spot. Ethiopian food is always great but this place has it just right. The classic options such as Sambusa are excellent and there is plenty of sharing dishes or individual dishes to please everyone. The staff here are simply delightful in going above and beyond. Very clean and comforting, definitely give this place a go. You will be glad you did.

Wife and husband Sisay and Gebre blew us away with their hospitality, authentic spiced platters and freshly roasted, ground and served Ethiopian coffee. The spices are harvested from her sister back home; so deeply flavorful and nourishing. Try their honey wine! It is a delightful and unique experience. I live in Philadelphia and wish I could visit more often. Thank you both for a wonderful and me
