When I first been here during the pandemic, the food was very lacking of flavor but with my recent return, they definitely improved. The owner is a great guy who you can chat with and have a great time. This mom and pop restaurant provides a great introduction to Ethiopian cuisine and I highly encourage you to try this place out if you’re willing to be more adventurous with your meals.

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.

Small restaurant but food was surprisingly very good and the lady running the place was very nice. Got the 2 meat and 1 veg combo, with beef and chicken. The curries were less spiced than some I've had before, but I actually really liked the flavor. A must-order item is lentil sambusa appetizer - piping hot, perfectly fried so it wasn't greasy at all, and perfectly seasoned. Never had lentil inside sambusa before, but it was better than some meat sambusas. Bathroom was also rather clean. Would highly recommend this place even if you've never had Ethiopian food before. It was the first time for my mom and she liked it too.

Large portions, especially compared to similar Ethiopian restaurants and prices are very reasonable. Very tasty. Friendly owner. Highly recommend!
