Very delicious and affordable Ethiopian cuisine. We went in as a group of 4 for the lunch special and food was delicious.We had the spicy beef and the spicy lamb with collared green, potato stew, cabbage, chickpeas, and red lentils for sharing.You have the option to have individual plate or sharing a plate. The fermented injera is fluffy like steamed rice cake and with a bit sharp sourness to cut through all the spices to balance the taste. I think our favorites are spicy beef and chickpea.I ordered ginger coffee, which was quiet unique. Also an highlight: the rum raisin cake is very very very strong in rum.It is a huge piece soaked in rum and alcohol lingers on the back if the tongue.It is very delicious but I won’t eat it if I needed to work in the afternoon. Service is a bit slow.You scan QR code for ordering and for paying.Price is very affordable for what you get.It is on the side of Columbia campus and it is one of the best Ethiopian places to eat in the city.
Incredible Ethiopian food in a beautiful restaurant.If gluten free make sure to ask for the pure teff injera - soooo good.We had the vegan sampler, ful (fava beans) and spicy lentils, as well as spicy tea, coffee and rum cake.Everything was delicious and enough for 3 people.So many vegan options!
I love Ethiopian food and this spot does it great.It can be kind of a trek to get to this Morningside Heights spot if you don't live in the neighborhood, but this place is worth it. The best way to enjoy your meal here is with shared plates on top of injera bread, which is how Ethiopian food is best eaten.If you're a party of two, I would recommend getting the vegan sampler and pairing it with a meat dish.The tebsi beef is my favorite, but the other options are good too.Pair it with a Habesha Ethiopian beer and you won't be disappointed.
