The food here is all that and a bag of chips! I bought it for myself and my Ethiopian coworkers who said it of the best they ever had in terms of takeout! I loved the flavors, and I'm about to get it again for tonight!

This is the worst place to order food using delivery. It took 2 hours to prepare the food and the food was not what I ordered, I asked explicitly for an order and they sent me something else. When I talked to them they didn’t even respond to my calls. Bad service, and didn’t even care to rectify their mistake.

Good service, nice ambiance. The menu is limited on vegetarian options compared to other Ethiopian restaurants in the area. They also didn't have any chicken, but I couldn't tell if that was just that day or a daily occurrence. I like that you can order imported injera for a more authentic experience. All the lentils are delicious. Awaze tibs was flavorful but a little oily for my preference. Nice spice levels and heat in everything we ordered.

The service at this restourant is extremely bad. We waited for 45 minutes without any waiter coming to take our order. Despite signaling to a passing waiter twice and explaining our situation, they promised us they would return but never did. After waiting patiently for someone to assist us, we eventually left. This place needs improved management and staffing.
