Walked in to the smell of delicious food, we could choose seating as well. The food was great and wholesome; we started with the veggie samosas, then had the five selection dish with Red Tibs and Lamb 1, Kae Miser 20, White Tibs with Chicken 2, Zilzil-wot 4, and Tikal Gomen Beh Siga 9. All delicious food and the injera flatbread was plentiful to eat everything by hand. Fresh and tasty!

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.

kibrom’s was a nice first experience with ethiopean/eritrean food for us. we arrived 6:30pm on a friday and were seated right away. service was prompt and polite though not particularly warm or welcoming. got the 6 item large portion beyaynetu plus samosa starters to share for our family of 4 (incl 2 little ones) and it was the perfect amount. to be honest, we had really high expectations due to all the amazing google reviews and even though we thought the food was good, the flavor profiles of what we tried were not as complex/intense as what we were expecting. my favorite was the red tibs & beef and even then, it was much less spicy than i expected/hoped for, though the beef was nice and tender. next best was gomen. the injera was soft, pillowy and generously portioned. also ordered avocado and sprice (avo, mango, banana) juices. note that these have more of a thick smoothie consistency - not my preference but the kids loved them.

Service was OK - I would not say overly friendly or welcoming, though. Our food was good - we both ordered vegetarian meals. We did not realize that we had to eat with our hands and our waitress assumed that we would know that. This was our first experience with Ethiopian food, which again was good, but not great. We had nothing to compare it to, though.
