This was my first time in Portland and we saw this restaurant walking to our place. It had a great ambience so we walked in. First, the business is run by a very kind family. Second, the food was truly delicious! I am a vegetarian and honestly not a big eating out type of person. But wow, this place made me love Eritrean cuisine from the first few bites - so flavorful. So amazing to try something new and have a great experience. I would also say I usually go for restaurants in $10-20 range but the extra 5 bucks here are well worth it!

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.

So delicious. What a find in Maine! Great vegetarian options that includes a side dish. I wish you can get the combo veg with just one or two people but only makes sense if 3-4 want it too. Service was slow but it’s so authentic and mom and pop run we were willing to be patient. Worth the wait.

Very flavorful, simply delicious and incredibly friendly and attentive staff. My first time here with my friends…and we already planned the next time when finishing up the meal. Also a colorful and interesting decoration.
