The place is suuuper small, everything simple and clean . Order the Vegetarian Combo , is surprisingly good.

Noah Weiss

Best Ethiopian food in NYC. Get the vegetarian combo or the meat combo and eat like a king. Honey wine is a tasty treat, too.

I come here once a month with my husband, we always order the same vegetarian combo . Always incredible although sometimes it's pippin hot sometimes not but always delicious.

Josh Polchar

The vegetarian combination platter is diverse, delicious, healthy, and great value ! Try the honey wine for the authentic Ethiopian experience.

I liked it a lot. Get the combo and maybe an appetizer , you will be full. Very inexpensive , will return for sure.

Christina Squitieri

The lunch special is great; I recommend the tibs wat (a little spicy but great) and the vegetarian platters .

Victor Carvalho

They have a good vegetarian section in the menu. The environment is homy. Besides, using your hands to eat is a must.

You can order extra injera to go for $1/piece. Tastes great fried with eggs the next morning!

Food is always incredible and service is always friendly , but sometimes slow.

I got the mixed plate, the food was good but the injera was a bit dry. Service was perfect and levels of noise were really low. I would still recommend this place.

Azifa, Doro Wot are a must try. Honey wine's great for sweet wine lovers. Avoid the dry croaker fish. The traditional way of eating from a communal plate is a unique experience. - Rashmi Joishi
