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.

This is one of my favorite places to eat!! I get the Veggie Combo. It is delicious and can usually get two meals out of it.
