I know what authentic Ethiopian food tastes like, and this has been the first time that an American restaurant has captured it for me.
The food is worth every buck.
The hosts are great, and the atmosphere as well.
I carried enough food home to last for two days.
You get great quantity, which is a plus for me.
I will be back.

Beautiful restaurant and the nicest people! Food was delicious! For someone new to Ethiopian cuisine I really enjoyed it.
Don’t hesitate to give it a try!

Owner response

Thank you for the wonderful review Michelle! We are so glad you enjoyed our cuisine and really enjoyed having the opportunity to host you!

This was my first time trying Ethiopian food, only because my friend took me per my request.
This place had just opened for lunch so it was only a few of us.
I was able to get a good glance at everyone's food and every single dish looked very appetizing.
The food (don't ask me about the names, lol) was very flavorful and just the right amount of heat and spices, and the assortment of vegetables, meat and lentils was perfect.
This food is very close to Mediterranean food so it was a very familiar taste and experience.
Overall - I would definitely go again and try the Lamb next time!
