Tsehay Ethiopian Restaurant And Bar

The food and spiced tea were phenomenal. I ordered the beef tibs, tomato salad, misir, atakilt wat, & key sir alicha. The serving size was enough for 2, although I ordered for 1. I have tasty leftovers. Shoutout to Nadi for her amazing service this evening! Will be back again.

Easily one of the best dining experiences I have ever had. The staff and owner/chef were so friendly and the food was absolutely amazing.

Absolutely devoured the food here, it was so delicious. I got the vegan platter and it was well worth it, a good tasting of all of their vegetarian dishes. I would definitely come back again, especially to share with a bigger group. The flavors are perfect and bring out each individual piece. Ambience is such a beautiful and calm space and the service is pretty quick.
