A 100/10! The service is some of the best I’ve ever had, everyone is so nice and attentive. The food is out of this world-I’ve had Ethiopian all over North America-this is some of the best. I highly recommend the Large meat combo it’s a great way to try multiple dishes and be a Big Back on a budget!

This is hands down some of the best Ethiopian cuisine I’ve ever eaten. I ordered the small meat combo and it came with a variety of beef and veggies. All of the meat was cooked perfectly, very tender and spiced just right. This was more than enough for two people, I ate alone so I had to take most of it home. Truly a bargain for two people at only $22. I also ordered a latte and it was so smooth and flavorful. I can’t wait to come back on another cool, foggy day to warm up with the yummiest food!

The food was good, but the restroom really needs attention. When I went in, there was a strong smell of urine that made it very uncomfortable to use. Cleanliness is important, and I hope the restaurant works on keeping the restroom more clean and fresh for customers.

Wonderful food and big portions! We ordered the large combo and it was a legit 5-6 meals. Injera was great, wait staff brought us more when we needed it. Good variety of dishes and just the right level of heat!
