"What a lovely place... very authentic dishes... spice is just right... very much enjoyed my time... Vegan Platter Salmon Salad Lintel sambusa"

"My first time here at this establishment an it’s my wife favorite Ethiopian restaurant….so I decided to give it a try and I was very impressed…the environment was calm and laid back and we was greeted right away by the hostess….i ordered some water w/lemon and for the appetizer I ordered Sambusa….it was delicious…than we ordered the meat lovers plate(steak…salmon & lamb)it was delicious and we was full after that…I will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu…."

"15 minute wait on a Saturday night. Staff was really nice and quick moving - good out 10-15 after ordering. We got several plates to eat family style, and can't say what everything was, but it was filling and flavorful. $20 each for variety of food. Lamb with onions was especially good. Kitfeh med with the added spice was memorably hot and good."

"This is one if my all time favorite restaurants. I’ve been coming here for years and the food is always delicious. One thing I love about this restaurant is the consistency. Over the years they have maintained consistency in the taste, quality and portions of their food. The customer service is always good as well, although there was quite a wait today even though it wasn’t busy yet, but they usually get to the table pretty quickly. I absolutely love the lentil sambusa’s!! They are so delicious.. The vegan platter is good and super fulfilling. The chicken tibs is also a go to of mine, and I definitely recommend adding the shiro to it! Overall you won’t be disappointed with the food here. 10/10 for sure."

"What a hidden gem!! We wanted to try something different on our way back to TN and this hit the spot. I haven't had real Ethiopian food in years so I was beyond excited to try this place. The service was great, they answered our questions and made sure we were good throughout our dinner. The food was delicious. I would of taken some to go but we had a few hours before we reached home so I opted not to. What surprised me is that my son actually liked it as well and he's a picky eater. If you want some authentic Ethiopian food don't let the outside fool you. Give this place a try"
