They have a #vegan menu that they actually give out with the regular menu. You don't have to ask or even know the secret password to get it.
This is two veggie and two massawa combos. A good amount for four. Veggies were much better than meat. Injeera (the bread ) is meant to be sour which is a bit odd. Nice experience.
Delicious food and a great happy hour . They have a full vegan menu ! You can easily split an appetizer and an entree with your date. Ask for the full teff injira and be amazed.
Service can take a while, but with incredibly friendly staff and some really solid veggie dishes , this place is a nice offering for the Morningside Heights area.
Authentic style Ethiopian where you eat with your hands. Meal portions are small however, leaving you licking your fingers looking for more. Food wasn't really outstanding either but worth trying.
Fantastic Eritrean option in the city . Their server Shamm is the bomb! Take her recommendation and enjoy the meal :-)
Especially recommended are Duba, a pumpkin stew with berbere, tomatoes , and rosemary , and the lamb dishes . Read more
The kids had a blast , perfect service and family friendly with an impressive flavor...
The service is great and the food is amazing
Good deal for lunch , food is about what you would expect for the price. Lamb curry was tastier than chicken
Very kid friendly ! Fantastic authentic cuisine at an affordable price ...
Ask for the African Beer of the Day... The Harar Beer is delicious!
I would order Special Shiro all day every day.
Get the veggie combo ! If you get it for two, you may have any combination of six!
Pretty pricey , but the chicken combo an beef combo were delicious AND so fun to eat with a group :)
Service a bit slow, but so worth it. Stand-outs were the spicy lamb and spicy shrimp . Amazing.
The ginger tea and rum cake is the perfect end to the meal.
The combo platters are incredibly filling and economical.
Back after 8 years. It's just as good!

So awesome. Get the meat combo and a St. George lager. Huge restaurant, great Ethiopian - Amanda Hu
Fantastic vegetarian options. Low-quality wines. Good beers. Great small environment, yet plenty of table/seating space for a close dinner, date or celebration. - DoubleDeuce
Great prices, and definitely one of the better Ethiopian restaurants I have been to. The cubed lamb with awaze is a must try. - Zayed Khan
