Warm family feel right from the first step through the door. First time trying Ethiopian and it was great. Special tea was very good. Bring the kids for a new hands on eating experience.

Went for lunch and ordered the mixed veggies with a meat. It all came out together and was delicious. Split it for a friend but was definitely enough for 3 people. Also ordered a coffee which was great. Nice spot, good service, will be back!

The food and service here is amazing! Our server was very friendly, personable, and patient as she explained the menu to us and offered her recommendations. It was my partner’s first time experience Ethiopian cuisine and my 3rd or 4th time. The food tasted delicious and was presented beautifully. They are very friendly to newcomers and you are guaranteed to have a good experience here!

This was my first time experiencing Ethiopian cuisine and it was a fabulous experience. We ordered fried beef pastry for our appetizer and they tasted very good! I cannot name the dishes, but they were both beef. The waitress asked us if we wanted 2 plates or one. We chose one and the food was delivered on a huge pan of injera bread. We ordered a seasoned coarsely ground beef and the other was chunks of beef with peppers and onions. The meat was placed onto the bread and then the collards and cheese. My fiancé ordered an Ethipian beer and decided to order another one because it was so good. The atmosphere is relaxed and the waitress was very kind and accessible. We can’t wait to go back!
