Really cute restaurant with fast service and food. Tasty and authentic, this place has been around for decades and for a good reason. Of course the prices have gone up too, but that's everywhere. $70 for the vegetarian plate, lamb, and catfish. Choice of mild, spicy, or extra spicy. Everything served with plenty of injera.

Great Ethiopian food!!!! We got the vegetarian combo and the lamb curry - sooooo good. Came with lots of extra injera and potatoes. Flavors were on point and I couldn't stop eating. Honey wine was also really good and a fun treat! Beautiful interior and really friendly service. Will definitely be back!
