This is my number one spot for Ethiopian food in the valley! It’s become my go to for date nights and girls night. The food is all so good and the service is lovely. You’re greeted like family when you walk in. The atmosphere is dim and full of inviting scents. Definitely try the ceremony coffee while you’re there!!

First time trying Ethiopian cuisine and my visit was a very pleasant experience. The woman that served me (and also cooked the food) was very welcoming and explained many of the dishes to me to cater to my preferences.

Absolutely amazing. The owner is a wonderful woman who made me feel right at home and recommended different dishes. The birz is sweet and delicious, and the lamb was perfectly cooked, served piping hot and quite literally the best butter-braised lamb I’ve ever had. The injera was fluffy and just the right sourness and came with a bright fresh green salad. Highly, highly recommend coming here.

I ordered food from this restaurant via UberEats, and I must say my experience was quite disappointing. My colleagues, who are also of Ethiopian origin, and I ordered two dishes, but upon receiving the package, it was clear that the food had been left out of the refrigerator for a while. The smell was quite off-putting, and we couldn’t understand why they would send out food in that condition. I even took the effort to call the restaurant to complain, but all they had to offer was repeated apologies. Unfortunately, their apologies don’t change the fact that the food was inedible. I cannot recommend this place based on my experience.

Amazing atmosphere and kind/helpful staff. To drink we ordered the honey wine which was very sweet and delicious. For the meal we shared the Abyssinia Vegetables which was a portion of everything on the veggie menu. The potatoes were outstanding along with all of the lentil dishes! Everything is extremely affordable with plenty of vegetarian options that could suit anyone’s appetite. Over all me and my friend had an amazing time and would recommend to anyone wanting to try an Ethiopian place!
