Update: Went there for dinner on a Saturday and it was unbelievably good. The lunch buffets they do 6 days a week are really awesome! It’s all vegan and healthy. It’s Ethiopian food so prepare your mouth for flavors you may not have had, and enjoy! This is a real hidden gem, just looks like they haven’t remodeled in a while is all, but if you look past that you are in for a real treat.

This is my absolute favorite place to eat in Rochester. The food is so tasty. So good for you. Prepared with love and is priced very well. Small intimate dining area, perfect for a date.

This is a good place to get some healthy food that is homemade. Yes, the place itself it a little old, but the friendly staff and good food make up for it. Buffet is all you can eat. I found the cuisine to be similar to Indian food in some cases. The variety of options was limited, but what they had was alright. Price is also pretty reasonable. Note that parking is limited.

Very great vegan Ethiopian food! I’m not familiar with the cuisine but I really liked it. I can’t wait to explore more dishes on their menu.

I just got the lunch buffet takeout, and it was AMAZING. Everything was delicious, including the beets. BEETS!? who knew there was a way to make those taste good? 100% putting this on my regular lunch list.

First time in, I was struck by the calm, eclectic atmosphere. It was clean and interesting without being pretentious. The host/waiter/cook was friendly, calm and quiet. As I sat down to eat, the food smelled great. The injira bread was nutty and tangy and held together well. The lentils were perfectly seasoned, and the collard greens were AMAZING! (and I usually dislike collards) there were other dishes offered, buffet style. There was water on hand to pour as one wished, which I thought refreshing instead of having someone come ti the table.

Maybe I went the wrong day but lunch was less than good. As I have said in other reviews the fact that is vegan gives a start of 5 stars so maybe I should just say I did not like this place.

Natural Oasis is absolutely legendary. You can’t eat this well anywhere else in Rochester and especially for the price. Picture this, a 10 item menu, 5 dollars a dish and actually every single plate is like a joyride for your taste buds. Eating here is an experience you hope to have everytime you go out, but even the most expensive or trendy places around here do not even touch the genius of how Natural Oasis marries spices and flavors together to create healthy, REAL whole food superstar meals. The Chai and desserts are bonuses. Truly the best of the best.

I had dinner with my friends at this restaurant and it was a great experience. All of their food is vegan and you can try as many as you want for $5 each. They were very accommodating considering the size of the group and provided fast service. All the dishes tasted wonderful, they have amazing spices. I will definitely return in the future and highly recommend it to everyone who is interested in experiencing vegan Ethiopian food.
