This is a really nice place in midtown for a date night or special occasion or even just for drinks. Great spice level, delicious cocktails and Eden gave us perfect service. We’re looking forward to going back and trying the rest of the menu.

Wow. This restaurant is probably one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in Kansas City. The food was absolutely delightful and the service was definitely amazing. All of the staff was nice and friendly along with the owner. We will definitely be going back and hope to have the same, or close to the same experience again! Thank you! Absolutely 10/10 would recommend.

My cousin and his wife, along with my hubby and myself, really enjoyed the atmosphere and food at this Ethiopian Restaurant. They had a nice variety on their menu. We started off with appetizers – the oan seared crab cakes with a spicy sauce and the delicious parmesan fritters made from taro root! These were my favorites! For the main course, my hubby and I both ordered the braised oxtails, which were over a small bed of collard greens, green peas, a piece of of a carrot, and potato. My twob oxtails, although large and flavorful, were not as tender as they needed to be. We both opted for white rice (which came a little later) instead of the black mushroom rice since I am allergic to some types of mushrooms. I will say the sauce was ample and therefore make the rice taste so good!

Delicious!!! Some of the best Ethiopian food I’ve had, and I try to find Ethiopian food whenever I’m traveling. The space looks great and can accommodate larger groups. Can’t wait to return to try the rest of the menu!

Love the atmosphere there. The music is always on point. One of my favorite spots in KC. Y’all need to dine there. Food is AMAZING and the drinks are too die for.

Went during restaurant week. We along with a group of other people with reservations stood at the door for a while without being greeted. Restuarant was pretty packed and service was extremely slow. Once we were at our table the waitress was apologetic and very nice. Appetizers did not come for 45 min. Salad and meal came at the same time. Food was not bad. I really liked the crab cakes. Drink was pricey but good.
