I ordered take out so did not rate atmosphere.
I love Ethiopian food generally.
I was disappointed in both the flavors of the meat and the vegetables.
My vegetable platter did not come with collard greens as was stated in the order.
The beef for the tibs was tough and chewy.
The injera was fine.
Overall I was disappointed.
Was it edible? yes.
Is it great Ethiopian food? No.

I was recommended this restaurant as the best Ethiopian food in San Diego so of course I had to check it out. Four of us had lunch here.
There is a small parking lot behind the restaurant and lots of 2 hr street parking spaces. We ordered the potato and lentil Sambusas.
So tasty and had a kick to them.
For lunch we ordered the big vegan platter and the meat combo.
It was a lot of food but so nice to be able to try all the different dishes.
My favorite was the beef with berbere dish. The injera was so spongey and light. We also tried the honey wine too.
It wasn't as sweet as other honey wines so I actually like theirs more. Service was excellent.
We were the only ones there when they opened at noon.
This was on a weekday.
Another party came later.
Hope more people will come because food was excellent and service was great too.
