"First time trying this place the staff, the location, and the food are superb. Definitely recommend this place"

"I’m very unsure why people that have nothing nice to say feel it’s okay to broadcast it on a site where it will forever remain. I read all of the reviews prior to driving all the way from the Benicia area for injera and some spices. Despite the reviews, I always try new places. I am aware that everyone is entitled to leaving whatever comments they’d like. My experience will be my own. This place is very neat, clean, organized, and you are pleasantly greeted upon entry by an Ethiopian woman usually. Beautiful energy. I’m not in anyway offended by the language barrier when I am purchasing popular goods from another country that you can only buy in small businesses like this one. I mean what do you expect? Maybe we should learn the language of the people we are buying from. I’m just saying. Pricing for everything in this place is amazing and so is the injera! I mean it’s like it came from the kitchen of an Auntie or Grandmother that made it with so much perfection and love! I bought a beautiful hand woven basket for serving, spices, red lentils, and about 30 pieces of injera. I will be driving back to this place as often as possible. There’s even an Ethiopian bakery directly across the street! WHAT! If your planning on hosting and serving this style cuisine then you have scored big to come across this gem. I’m hooked as long as they’re open and no, I was not asked or paid to write this review. Just disappointed that anyone would have anything bad to say about an ethnic place trying to strive to stay in business like anyone else! Cheers! To many more years of good service!"

"First when I walk in I greeted the lady she didn’t even respond later In the evening I needed to buy some stuff so I decided to call before driving since I live far away. While I was speaking to the lady I heard someone talking over her with angry manners, next I know they hanged up the phone. Very rude no customer service not business oriented no wonder the place is empty"
