Cute little ethnic restaurant. Ample parking in a fairly busy commercial complex. The restaurant was busy but had several empty tables. Service was fairly quick. No fancy cutlery or table arrangements, rustic and simple set-up. Be prepared to eating with your hands, no cutlery was offered and we didn’t ask. Injera bread was soft and spongy. The chicken spicy stir-fry with Ethiopian chilli paste was awesome. Enjoyed both the spicy and yellow lentils. The veg samosa was mediocre but crisp and fresh. Enjoyed a leisurely laid back Friday dinner!

Excellent food, excellent coffee, excellent beer, super friendly staff. If you like flavorful stuff, you will be happy you came. We got the lamb tibs plate with collards and spicy lentils and the meat sampler, everything was tasty. Each dish said it fed 1, but the portions are ample and we took a bunch home (amazing the next day too). The atmosphere is comfy, music isn’t too loud, easy to have a private conversation. We will definitely come back and I’ve already recommended this place to friends

Love love love this place. My friends took me here after a recommendation from their boss. The decor was beautiful and they had wonderful artwork throughout. The food was just as amazing. We ordered two combos and two main dishes, although they were able to bring it out as two trays (veggie and meat). The range and spectrum of flavor, spices and heat (spiciness) was fantastic. We finished with their tea which hit the spot and allowed us to let all the delicious food settle. Very affordable per person and the staff provided wonderful service. Highly recommend!

Good food, I’ve had more robust flavors elsewhere. I wish they had plant-based creamer options for the coffee. But the portions were perfect and we left happy♥️ Probably will not return unfortunately.

This place has a new owner. She is very friendly and pleasant. I went by to take my cousin who came to visit from Reno. I was impressed. I had the vegetarian combo, and I loved it. I’m definitely going back.

Got food from a third party service and let me tell I was very pleased. Upon walking in, you see the decor is welcoming and authentic! Very cool looking stuff on the walls and really friendly employees immediately was greeted and told them about my order. While I was waiting the server/employee was thoroughly going over the ENTIRE menu with this couple until they were able to get the exact food they wanted that would fit all the perimeters and it was such a nice thing to see customer at such a high level of quality and care will definitely be back. 10 out of 10 highly recommend must try again

Solid Ethiopian mid-range establishment. The combination platters don’t disappoint and are a good value. Beautifully presented, freshly made (aka be patient), as others have described. Vegetarian options are especially good. Can’t do as frequently as I’d like, simply adding to others here that this family business is legit and deserves your support.

I’ve been to this place a couple of times before covid-19. I loved the family who owned and ran the place. The mother was the chef and so sweet. The daughter and son used to help her at the front desk. The food was so delicious, and the service and ambiance were great. There were circular tables with bamboo chairs that felt very authentically Ethiopian and unique to this restaurant.
