So glad we decided to try this out! I had heard about Ethiopian food and thought I would like it, and I was not disappointed! I heard it was very spicy, which scared me a little, but our hostess explained all the menu options to us and said they can customize the spice level! Excellent food and excellent service! Very friendly and inviting! Definitely recommend!

Good food and experience, slow service though. Get ready to eat with your hands (no fork)

Ethiopian food is delicious, packed full of flavor and spices! Coming to this restaurant makes you feel right at home with the intimate and comfortable dining room. The people who work here are extremely pleasant and warm. The only thing is they don't serve any alcohol but you are encouraged to bring any drinks from the outside and they will happily bring you wine glasses to enjoy your drinks! 10/10 would recommend this to anyone who wants a pleasant experience with delicious food

A very authentic restaurant with a helpful and friendly staff! I’ve gone a few times for lunch and you can’t go wrong with the buffet.

I really wanted to love this place. Little hole in the wall places are often the best, however, I was not impressed and I was so looking forward to some Ethiopian food! Everything was spicy and we had asked to make sure. The lentil sambusas were spicy as well. Shiro was quite odd, not like any I've ever had. It's wasn't bad persay but not what I was looking for. Veggie combos I am used to coming with more. 4 items is very minimal, no salad, and kinda pricey. We were never checked on either after our meal was brought to us. I would not go back.

Went to this restaurant with the family, I have been to this restaurant before and liked the food and service but idk what happened when we went this time, it was very disappointing! The food tasted great but very little portions, and felt overcharged. The service was so poor, the server got all of our orders wrong. And took at-least an hour to bring the appetizers then the food followed. Don’t think will go here again.

I am an Ethiopian and I am embarrassed for this place! This is not a representation of our food. The injera is made with self rising flour instead of tef. The price is too expensive for the portion sizes. The taste is horrible and the injera is rubbery and salty. This place could use a de cleaning and a make over… Definitely will never be back. There’s a lot more options in town that actually represent our food, and culture.
