Although the fish wasn’t fully fried, the food was decent. I love the food. The only issue I had is that the waiter waited a while before bringing the check. Not very professional. Other than that, I will try again.

It’s a perfect place/ restaurant for authentic Ethiopian food especially for the Yetash-kitfo/ all in one kitfo. I usually ordered the kitfo and loved since. The food and service worth the price. The staff were friendly all the time I visited the restaurant.it’s Perfect family kids friendly restaurant. If you into a quiet place to dine this is your best spot. I highly recommended it.

Absolutely delicious! I ordered their veggie combo from UberEats, which includes cabbage shiro, lentil kik alicha (stewed yellow lentils), spicy red lentils, green lentils, collard greens, and a salad. All of these dishes were served on a bed of injera, and the order came with another piece of injera folded up and left on top. Everything was incredibly tasty and, even after traveling about 30 minutes across Virginia, was still the perfect temperature. Ethiopian food definitely holds up well in take-out containers (even though it loses some of the aesthetic). I personally would’ve preferred that the spicy lentils be slightly spicier, but they were still incredibly flavorful and had a very slight kick. The salad seemed to just be lettuce, tomato, red onion, and slices of jalapeno with what tasted like a standard Italian dressing. I wasn’t a huge fan of the large slices of jalapeno, but the salad was still nice and refreshing, and it helped to counterbalance how heavy the rest of the meal felt. The dressing does soak through the injera really quickly, though. The shiro certainly lived up to all the hype, and everything was all-around solid and really tasty. There’s also an incredible amount of food for the price — the combo costs $16 off of UberEats and it can absolutely feed 2-3 people. I also ordered a scrambled egg to eat the next morning; it’s a simple dish with a delicious egg scrambled with tomato, red onion, and jalapeno. It has a slight kick and is a phenomenal way to start the morning. You can either get it with bread or injera; I originally ordered injera, but it seems like they made an accident and gave me bread instead. Either way, I’m glad that I ended up getting to try out their bread; it had a super soft center with a slightly crunchy exterior, and it was absolutely delicious when warmed up. I definitely plan to become a regular here, and I can’t wait to visit in person once COVID ends!

Very good service. Waitress lady answered all of our questions. Some dishes are different than other Ethiopian restaurants. We like the originality. We ordered the big veggie combo. Tasty food. They charge for injera, even when they serve with the dish. This is usually not the case with other restaurants. We would go there again for lunch or dinner. They also have breakfast items.

I eat here a lot and as Ethiopian food goes it is top tier. There are plenty of food options here I would recommend that balagger tibs for the meat option and misir wet for the vegatable option. The only thing that holds it back is the slow service but that doesn’t diminish the taste of the food. I will be eating here again
