The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff was very friendly! We got two plates of samplers for two, I was pretty big and you got to take little crepes (injera) and scoop the samplers. Great experience to eat with your fingers. The food was not too spicy but tasteful. Portions were large and we took a box of leftovers with us. The vegetarian samplers was to die for. Gratuities are included in the bill and the staff from this family owned business is highly professional. Background music was enjoyable (from the golden years of Ethiopian jazz).

What a treat it was to go here. Better than expectations. They were so kind to us and we had a baby which isn’t always the easiest customer to work with, but they were very helpful and understanding. They also are very attentive to our needs always had water in our cup and they checked in with us multiple times.

We were on a food crawl so shared the veggie sampler for one and it was still a lot of food for 4! We had it with the fried fish. Yellow lentils, red lentils, greens, potatoes, fresh tomatoes and njara. Some of the best Ethiopian food I’ve had. I didn’t have it, but my friend said the coffee was just like in Ethiopia. My only issue is out fish (a part of the same dish…we didn’t order a second dish) came like 15, 20 minutes later, when we were just about done. It was fresh and hot but took way too long. Not enough to derail a positive review.

Samplers are great for the table, $20-$40 for a two person sampler meal. Super vegan friendly with most samplers and individual meals vegan. Very clean restrooms!

This was one of the worst experiences I had with an Ethiopian restaurant. The meat was undercooked and tasted like it was just like it was frozen when they cooked it. The food was overly oily and didn’t have sauce.

First time trying Ethiopian food and it was fantastic! Delicious food, wonderful and friendly service, great Ethiopian beers and wine. Our favourites were the lentil sambusas, the fish, the beef tibs, awaze tibs, and the St George lager. We will definitely come again

Absolutely delicious. The single vegetarian sampler and lamb were both excellent. QR code menus annoy me, but service was prompt and courteous. Too bad my friend and I got mildly sick after eating here.

Thanks so much for the chance to enjoy dinner tonight (even without a reservation) . When I was 16, I traveled to DC for a school trip. My best friend and I enjoyed an Ethiopian meal together and learned about the significance of breaking bread together. She died unexpectedly 6 month later. Now, when I come to DC, I make it a point to enjoy an Ethiopian meal in remembrance. Though, I ate solo tonight, the truly delicious meal and gentle and kind service was accompanied by the most treasured of memories.
