Wonderful Ethiopian restaurant with generous portions. All tasted super fresh and the Sambusa were a hit. We loved the Doro Tibs which were spiced so well, and the Veggie Combo was so hearty. Will definitely order from here again.

I've eaten at literally hundreds of Ethiopian restaurants. This is excellent food and the injera is all-teff (gluten-free) made in house. My yebeg alicha (Lamb Alicha..) came with generous helpings of yemesir wot (spicy red lentils) and tikkil gomen (mild carrot and cabbage).

I ordered the veggie combo. The food was ok. Not the best or worst. They gave the perfect amount of injera. I prefer a different type of injera. The food portion was great for one person. Great customer service.

Food was look warm at best, yellow lentils were undercooked, special shiro was very salty and my beef Awaze Tibs were swimming in oil and tough... the food seemed old and not fresh. I usually love the food from there.

Called the restaurant to ask a question about what was included in the Veggie Combo. Very friendly staff who helped clarify questions I had. Delicious food with very good portions & super fresh ! Will definitely be ordering again
