Great food with great taste! Good find that we would try again. We were visiting town and in need of a good Ethiopian food (not available back home ; ). Friendly staff and location. We went for a traditional combo platter for 4 people. Would try again

Fasika hosted the most memorable birthday I could have asked for! It was my first time eating at Fasika. Their food was delicious. Their staff was so incredibly friendly. And they were so accommodating as my party size grew during the 2 days before the reservation.

Had the combo meal on this second visit . Very tasty however I give 4 stars because the injera wasn’t as soft or fresh as I remember having on my first visit a couple of years ago

We had a Vegetarian combo and Cheese with Collard green, it’s not how we truly expected especially the cheese with collard come out horribly. What makes me write the review is the server wasn’t helpful when we confide her the food is not right and she answered that is not her fault but it’s the cook, and she hand over me to write the review instead of asking for an apology!What a service!.

The food is made to order so it can take a bit of time, but it is well worth the wait. Have tried Ethiopian at a few other places but Fasika is by far my favorite!

Great food and friendly service! For 4 people, we got two combinations (1 meat and 3 veg) and two single dishes that came all in one big plate with injera underneath – very filling. Extra injera is also provided on the side. The atmosphere is casual with a good aesthetic and music. Overall a nice place to get some Ethiopian food.

Ethiopian cuisine reminds me of Indian cuisine all the time. The food was tasty. Service was a bit slow, not sure if that was due to holiday season. Value for money as the quantity was overwhelming and food was very filling. I am all hearts for the food aroma filling the place. They have a variety of veg and non-veg options, catering to all the food preferences.

What an incredible restaurant! This Yedoro Tibs was some of the best chicken I may have ever had. My significant other had the Fasika Special, which is spicy beef, and it was equally amazing! I would also recommend the Ethiopian tea, it’s similar to a chai tea without the milk (very delicious!) The servers were very friendly and inviting, the atmosphere was awesome, and the prices were incredible!!!
