Service is terrible; waiter is not seen for a long time. This Ethiopian restaurant is also really good, their food is excellent, and their plates are quite good and tasty, and decent size.

Derek Tibbs, the fish , vegetarian plate and Ethiopian Coffee and friends. A perfect night

Been coming here for 6 years now. Prices are reasonable. Service is okay BUT the food is great! Try parking behind the restaurant in the alley.

The sambusa is the best part of the meal

Beth Fisher

The Vegetarian Combo is the best deal in town .

Order the Goat Tibs

Ask what tibs means because almost all items are called tibs.

Service gets worse as the night wears on.

Sauce LA

Don't miss the market and the Meta beer

Pavel Zhivulin

Yedoro Wot (курица в соусе ) очень вкусно. Veggi plate тоже стоит попробовать. Все блюда подаются с специальными кислыми блинами. Ими же и едят - приборов нет. Порции большие. Кофе вообще шикарный

Vegetarian combo is a must have here, one order can feed about 2 people. Service can be a little slow when it gets busy, but if you're patient it is worth it! - Art Kerdmanee
