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.

Excerpts

I love Ethiopian food and some of the dishes here were good, but there are others that were just not as good as some of the other restaurants. I like the injera when it’s a little bit more sour, and this was a little bit under fermented for my taste. And maybe this was just the lunch menu, but it seemed like they didn’t have as much in the way of variety as some of the other restaurants. And there was only one combo, which was a veggie combo. It would be nice to be able to order a combination meal with both veggie and meat dishes. The service was great and the people were very friendly. There’s a market next-door, which has East African staples which is kind of fun to walk around in since I lived in East Africa for a few decades, but overall as an Ethiopian restaurant, I would say there’s some other places that I would probably prefer, if for no other reason than the larger variety of dishes.

The customer service here is the best every one came by to check on the white boy who was eating the spicy food. The Duro Wat was the best I have ever had tender and savory, after the first bite I inhaled the rest of the bowl. The Awaze Tibs were fresh and cooked perfectly and if I had any more room in my stomach I would have finished them off as well. 10/10 would recommend this place since I will be back for more
