Such a cute hole in the wall! We stopped as we were passing through Nashville on a road trip and were SO glad we did.
We ordered two combos, the cheesy bread app, and the avocado salad, and it was all so tasty! Seriously, each dish was incredibly well spiced and delicious.
This meal really hit the spot after continuing a long road trip.

Food is okay, but the lentils were under cooked and the meat was so tough.
The place seems run down but clean.
Sort of sucks that you have to order a meal insead.of order items to share individually.
My wife ordered the veggie meal for $16.99 but the portions were so small we couldn't believe it.
I'm posting a picture of my wife's meal with the portion size.
Too expensive for what you get.
There are other Ethiopian restaurants in the area with better food and cheaper prices or at least bigger portions.

We REALLY loved our food here last night.
We tried the beef sambusa (definitely something one person could eat - there were six smallish pieces) that were absolutely perfectly cooked - they brought the very hot fried appetizer out on a plate with a paper towel and there wasn't a speck of grease - that's an expert chef right there! We tried the combo with yellow split peas, potato and beets, beef wet and chicken wet.
Our fave by far was the beef.
Such a good flavor, the beef was fall-apart tender, and really good quality (no fatty pieces like you might find in pulled BBQ pork).
My husband and I chose to share one combo and one sambusa order.
We left perfectly full, not stuffed.
The waiter was doing a good job - but he was solo and the restaurant was fairly busy.
Hopefully he's not alone all the time! I saw another review mention this - but the temp in the restaurant is very warm.
There was a window unit AC but you couldn't tell.
Wear your cooler sweat wicking fabrics - but I would absolutely return even with the heat.
Don't skip this place!!
