“Truly a wonderful place to relax while enjoying delicious food and seriously the best coffee in the city!! Everyone here is always so kind that sitting here just feels like sitting at home, surrounded by family.If you haven’t been, you’ve gotta go!“
“Outstanding. We ordered two vegan plates and 6 lentil sambusas. Phone ordering was extremely easy. When I arrived she already had the plates boxed up and pulled the sambusas. They were hot and crispy, and she left the paper bag open so they wouldn't get soft (a wonderful attention to detail!). The person I picked up from was so nice to interact with. She said she was not the owner, but the cook. I was captivated by her passion for quality and cooking good food from scratch, cutting no corners.When I got home and dug into the plate, I could see that it was beautifully and carefully presented. I expected collard greens (gomen) on the plate. Usually they are cooked to death. Ok, that's fine, I live in the south, I am used to this. But this is the first time the gomen (Collard Greens) still had their vibrant green color! And yet, they were perfectly cooked! I took one bite and thought, these greens are fresh... and they are cooked by someone who knows how to cook greens! And then next bite, the cabbage (Atakilt Wat). Unlike the greens, the cabbage had been cooked thoroughly until it was meltingly tender and full of flavor. It was exquisite. It reminded me of my mother's.The meal was little more expensive than other places I have been, but it was absolutely worth it. I have had a lot of Ethiopian food in the past in much larger cities than Nashville. I can truly say it was the best Ethiopian in Nashville!October 31, 2023 - curbside pickup only was easy, fast, and convenient. My highest recommendation!Vegetarian options: Choose the vegan platter. Lentil sambusas are vegan.Dietary restrictions: Choose the vegan platter. Lentil sambusas are vegan.Parking: Parking right in front of the restaurant. Lots of spots.Kid-friendliness: It is curbside pickup only. If children love Ethiopian food, they will love it. The tastes are for every one. For children, the most mild dish in the restaurant is the yellow split peas that comes in the vegan plate - kik alicha. You can request it. The cabbage would also be good for children, because the cabbage is mild, flavorful, and very tender.“
“Absolutely love this place! We have been coming here for years and the food, service and atmosphere never disappoint. Yes - it’s a hole-in-the-wall. Yes - it’s not as updated and “hip” as other places in the area. However, the people are friendly and accommodating, it’s authentic, and the food is always amazing! My favs are the avocado salad and the asa goulash.“
“I’m telling you, this please is amazing! The food is healthy but also very Tasty! So I don’t feel guilty! If you’re a vegetarian, vegan, and/or meat-eater obsessed with delicious flavor, this is your place! You won’t be disappointed. Peace and Love“
“Got an order to go (I don’t dine indoors at the moment) and the food was great even with a bit of a drive before I got a chance to eat it!The flavors of the veggie combo were on point. A little bit of heat, berbere spice savory, all delicious! I added a side of red lentils to be sure the two of us got enough food, we have leftovers. I recommend getting more than a combo if you’re *very* hungry but the portions are good and one combo will feed two people.Anyone taking stars off the restaurant because of location isn’t being fair to the food and place itself. There are folks who hang out in the shopping center and are under various influences, but I felt fine parking to go in and grab my order. My biggest annoyance was the police camera in the parking lot blasting music to deter the people who probably didn’t have anywhere else to go to chill. That’s not on the restaurant. Take it up with the lack of basic humanist care in society.“
“I have ordered from here through Uber Eats.And also I have picked up at the location. Each time the food Quality, and taste Have been consistently amazing! This is absolutely the freshest ethiopian food I have ever tasted And the woman who owns it is So personable and nice! Seriously the Flavors are out of this world! I would highly recommend!!!!“
