Oh, what a find. I love Ethiopian food and this was all that! Don’t go if you are in a rush, this place is a whole chill vibe. The food was amazing, and do get the mango drink. It was so nice not to be in a loud restaurant, even the other dinners were speaking only for their table to hear. Again, it was a vibe. I loved it and I will be returning often.

Wow, what an incredible experience here. We had a luxurious and leisurely dinner, with South African wine and their vegan taster platter. It smelled amazing as soon as we walked in. Everything was so delicious, and the atmosphere was tranquil and pleasant; everyone spoke in quiet voices at their own tables. Our hosts were gracious and accommodating! We came hungry and left stuffed and happy. We will definitely be eating here again. Don’t miss this Milwaukee gem!

Although I would have loved to dine in and enjoy the full in-person experience, the quality of the food still came through in the takeout meal. The combination C2, which has a variety of delicious meat and veggie dishes, provides an abundance of food that is well worth the value. Make sure to order extra injeera – you won’t regret it!

Wasn’t expecting much but the food was excellent, among the best Ethiopian food we have had! We shared the vegetarian meal for 3 and every dish was well done – yellow lentils, red lentils, cabbage with carrots, greens. The injera was plentiful and tasty. Will happily return.

This was my second time in this wonderful restaurant. I happened to discover in while visiting Milwaukee in 2019 and had a fabulous meal. I came back now with a group of friends this time and we’ve all enjoyed ourselves very much. The best Ethiopian restaurant I’ve been to, and I’ve been to many. Very nice people and excellent food. Thank you!

Ethiopian food is my all time favorite and this place is the best I’ve ever had. I highly recommend the Yemisir Wat and Shero. Everything on the vegetarian menu is vegan. The vegetarian Taste of Cottage Sampler is awesome and a great way to try a combination of different things. I seriously crave this food if I go too long without it! Do yourself a favor and try it!
