June 4, 2018I came here with a group and we tried one of the large platters that had many different dishes. Everything was delicious. I loved eating with my hands and using the injera (Ethiopian flat bread) to scoop up the food. If you haven't had Ethiopian food, I would highly recommend this place. Their hospitality was excellent. The Ethiopian tea was very good as well.

May 9, 2018Our 1st experience and it was superb. Both the food and service was fantastic. We tried the mix sampler because we couldn't decide what to get. I would definitely recommend and can't wait to return.

May 7, 2018Everything is priced well except for the Samosa. Traditional beer and Honey Wine has limited availability. Set a little back from the road, easy to find. Atmosphere and food/ portion size is worth the visit. Don't be in a hurry if you come here.

November 21, 2017My first time trying Ethiopian food and it was a very enjoyable experience. The food was very good and flavorful with each dish having it's own unique flavors and textures. The portions are definitely made for sharing. The service was also very friendly and helpful. We'll definitely be back.
