Delicious!!! If you haven’t tried it you should!! The coffee was delicious, like espresso shot but tasted much better, friendly service, you can grab meals for 2-3 at a reasonable price. I love the decor and vibe.

This is one if the decent Ethiopian restaurants in the area. Their food is good and this place is BYOB so don’t forget to bring your bottle. The place has average ambience, but food is worth trying for. Love their Katenga and most of all veggie entrees. Our server was sweet and engaging. Was suggesting when we asked for her input. I found this place little pricey than it should be but overall good food and good service

My wife and I don’t eat enough to order two main courses. This is one of the few places where there is a $10 plate charge. They then calculate the tip so you tip on the plate charge. The food here is good.

Absolutely amazing food and best service. Everything from the appetizers to the entrees were freshly prepared. Service was prompt and friendly. Not the best dessert options but not the reason I came. Will definitely be back!

Went here for the first time a few months ago with some friends. The food was delicious, portions were big and the staff were helpful. My only complaint would be the prices. The food is insanely over priced. Which i’d assume is because most of the average clientele is non-Habesha but still. I go to university in DC & I can get most of the items on the menu over there for way cheaper. For example, charging $30+ for Kitfo that you can get at most other average Ethiopian restaurants for $15-20 is outrageous. Nice to come here every once in a while when you’re craving some Ethiopian food, but the pricing is a killer.

Everyone loved it for my birthday one year. We tried the honey wine, I got lentils, they had gluten free injera, and the others got mixed fish and meat and vegetarian. Simple atmosphere, but good food.

Amazing food. Fabulous flavors and SO many delicious dishes to try. Also so much food!! I brought 15 people here for my rehearsal dinner. Everyone enjoyed it. Recommend ordering the sampler plates for 2-4 people and letting the staff decide what dishes to include. That’s what we did, and we tried a total of 10 different dishes at just one table of 8 people. We were stuffed with food leftover.
