Vegan friendly and delicious. I got takeout sambusas (spinach was good, mixed veg was sooo good) and lentil soup. Really nice people and decor. Breakfast foule sounds so good, I’ll have to come back on a morning!

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.

Local hole in the wall place run by seemingly husband and wife. Amazing food - where else can you get to try 9 dishes for under $20. Highly recommend vegan sampler. It’s two meals worth of food and everything has its own flavor profile and is delish. Quick service and yummy food. Not a fancy sit down restaurant, but a great place for a person just interested in good food and supporting local business.

The woman who provided service to me was very warm, polite and accommodating. I recommend others get the spicy tea along with your meal, as that is very nice. I ordered Combo 2, which comes with Doro watt (chicken stew) and key watt (beef stew) and two of their many vegan options. I chose yellow split peas and collared greens. The food was really good and I enjoyef it and the atmosphere a lot. My only slight issues is that I felt the beef in the key watt could have been stewed longer to make it more tender and allow the spices to penetrate into the meat a little more, and in my opinion the collared greens could have been slightly saltier. For dessert, I had their rice pudding and it was quite nice and subtle.
