It is pretty dark inside but they have a fresh flower on every table which was cute! We ordered the regular vegetarian combo which came with spicy lentils, yellow chickpeas, collard greens, cabbage, and salad. It also came with a red pepper/spice that I haven’t had at other Ethiopian restaurants and I was pleasantly surprised with the heat it packed. For the meats, we decided on the Meaza tibs (their beef house special) and yabug awaze tibs (spicy lamb tibs). The meat was tender and full of flavor. We had one giant injera bread each – it was good but not as “sour” as others that I’ve had and it was pretty thick. Our server was very sweet and super attentive!

Overall, a nice spot for Ethiopian if you can also get past the weird turn in to the parking lot. read less

Our server was very informative and gave us suggestions on what to order to have the full Ethiopan experience. I enjoyed all the textures, colors, presentations and flavors of our storted cooked veggies and meat tray. It was a lot for 4 people but we were all satisfied with the seasons and tenderness of the meats. I will say, service is a bit slow so we enjoyed some traditional beers while waiting for our food. The lamb and short ribs is a must to order. Wasn’t impressed with the store bought reheated baklava, you can skip that one! read less

Everything is delicious and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The restaurant is spacious and a little more upscale than some (white table cloths etc.). We always love the super veggie combo which features a great selection of vegetarian dishes
placed colorfully around the very large injera. We fill the middle with
doro wat (really good chicken with an egg) and lamb or beef tibs. It is
hard to go wrong. read less

The service was fast (but we went at 2 pm on a Wednesday). Also excellent value — that amount of food could have fed 3 people read less

We typically order one of the beef combos, the doro wat, and an additional veg combo. During the early months of the pandemic, we did take out and our order would last us at least another meal or two without breaking the bank (for a family of five – all who eat adult servings). Time to get another Ethiopian food fix soon! read less
