This place was so nice. The atmosphere was warm, beautifully decorated with Ethiopian/Eritrean touches, and just felt really welcoming. There were people presumably from Ethiopia/Eritrea enjoying a meal at the bar while watching football (soccer), which brought such a lively vibe to the space. I honestly loved people-watching the whole time. The service was great—everyone was friendly and attentive, but also gave us space to actually enjoy our meal. And the FOOD… incredible. Even when I was full, I didn’t want to stop eating. Now I’m wishing I had leftovers because I already want it again.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

It’s the morning after eating here, and all my fiancé and I can talk about is how we want to go back. There was not a single miss. The red lentils were a standout, and they were my fiancé’s favorite. We’re excited to go back and maybe get some chicken and chickpea dishes. The injera was perfect, and the staff is always prepared to bring more. Great for sharing and made a great date night location!

Super friendly family owned restaurant. We ordered 6-item veggie, beef Kurt and beef tips, for 2 adults and 2 kids. The food is very delicious, meat is soft and juicy, veggies are very tasty and well-seasoned. It’s really good price for the generous amount. Highly recommended!
