Muhammet is an incredibly friendly and warm-hearted owner. He never fails to engage in pleasant conversation and always has a smile on his face. The restaurant's design is entirely organized around Ethiopian culture, and as soon as you step inside, you feel transported to a different world. It's a charming, intimate, and colorful cultural experience. Despite being a small establishment, traditional details greet you at every turn. The food is delicious. This was our second visit, and we ordered a plate with small portions of various dishes from the menu. It was a delightful culinary experience for us, and we will likely return again. The atmosphere is cozy and authentic, allowing guests to immerse themselves in Ethiopian culture through both the decor and the cuisine. Overall, it's a unique dining experience that we highly recommend to anyone looking to explore new flavors and cultures.

Very nice place to try this type of food. Great service, it was our first time and everything was explained to us. Lovely decoration, and the food is so tasty.

I tried an Ethiopian restaurant for the first time, and it really surprised me! I ordered their famous vegetarian bayaaynatu after reading some reviews, and it was super tasty. It was also my first time eating with my hands, which was a cool and different experience. We finished off with their coffee, which comes with popcorn on the side. The coffee was a bit pricey, but the whole thing was worth it because the host brought out smoke, and the whole experience felt really unique.

Decent Ethiopian food that has been around fur baby years. The owner is from Ethiopia 🇪🇹 and is really nice. Only tried the lunch special which was pretty good

Interesting restaurant. Seems to be a house converted into a restaurant. Veggie platter was filling and injera was great quality. A great recommendation for those seeking a cozy experience.

Great place for authentic Ethiopian food. The ambience is a delight and the food a sheer treat. The mild taste keeps you wanting to continue eating. The injera bread, a kind of fermented softly rolled crepe is so smooth and spongy that it literally melts in your mouth. The only down side is that they do not offer any cutlery, which could be an incumbent to a few who do not quite enjoy using their fingers. However, the immersive experience is worth a try , and I did appreciate their determination to maintain authenticity. Great place with wonderful decor. Must try!!!!!

Good food. Everything had good flavour and freshness. The ambience is also really nice in terms of cultural decoration. Doro Wat (Chicken Gravy) was delicious. Be ready to eat with your hands and sharing one big plate. One drawback is I everything is overpriced. The dish above is a mix of 2 combos and a Doro Wat (chicken gravy) and the bill came up to $75. And the owner tried to force us to order another dish.

Delicious food and wonderful service! Ive never had Ethiopian cuisine before and the flavours were so unique and tasty! Id recommend the coffee ceremony, even if you’re not a coffee drinker. The coffee was light and fragrant and the perfect end to our meal!
