Wonderful. Menu gave good descriptions. For a table of four we ordered 2 beef, one lamb, and one chicken dish and the bargain priced, 14.95 6 vegetable dish sampler. Honestly, we should have just gotten two meats and the veggie platter. The portions are HUGE. (none of us are small, or light eaters.) Everyone was friendly, but we did not get water refills or the coffee we ordered. Super clean, lovely music, definite A.

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of dining here, and we were impressed by the food and overall experience. The highlight of my meal was the lamb tibs and the vegetarian platter. The lamb tibs were cooked to perfection—tender and juicy, with just the right amount of spice to give it a flavorful kick. The seasoning was rich and aromatic, making each bite a delightful experience. The vegetarian platter was a feast for veggie lovers like us. It included a variety of vegetable stews, lentils, and other delightful plant-based dishes. Each item was distinct in taste and texture. The portion size was generous, and the dish was served with injera, a soft and spongy flatbread. The restaurant itself had a warm and inviting atmosphere, with friendly staff and a cozy ambiance. The service was prompt and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend this Ethiopian restaurant for anyone looking to enjoy delicious, authentic cuisine.

Lovely food! The coffee was stronger than expected. They charge a little extra for card payments. The staff was very friendly. Would come again.
