   We brought a friend who had never had Ethiopian food before! Our server helped with selections of meat and vegetables! Our friend was blown away and my husband and I, who have had it often, loved it! Hope to go back soon!

   We've been dining here for many years and always host a family meal during the holidays. The food is out of this world and all prepared to order so we're content enjoy a leisurely feast.

   Excellent food. If you choose a menu item based upon ingredients though, do ask the server to make sure the menu is accurate. One ingredient listed in the menu description is the reason why I chose one dish over another, but it arrived at the table without that ingredient. When I asked about it I was told they had not had that for a long time and that the menu was outdated. Despite that though, the food was excellent and the service was very good.

   We were there for an hour before our food arrived and it wasn’t correct.

   Reviews say the kitchen takes a long time -- true by American standards. Reminded me of Europe, when dinners are leisurely and unhurried. So, don't come if you want a quick dinner. But if you enjoy time with the one you are will and can chat for an hour over a bottle of wine, well this is it! The injera was outstanding, as well as the vegetarian platter and tibs. Quiet on a Monday night -- but I hear its much livelier on Friday and Saturday! I will definitely go back.

   The experience was great. This was my husband's 2nd, but most enjoyable time at an Ethipoian restaurant. I would recommend this place. 👌

   I had a great lunch with a business colleague. Service was great and the food was exceptional. I’ve enjoyed meals here before but the flavor and quality this time was exceeded even my past experiences. I’ll definitely be back!

   Not many people there on a Sunday afternoon. Went as a group. I ordered the chicken stew. It had one piece of bone-in-chicken in it and it was like chicken jerky. The flavor was good though. Service was super slow, and it took over an hour for food to come out after ordering.
