I stumbled upon this place after checking out several vegan late night options within metro DC and this was one of the few places that was open. I had not had Ethiopian food in a while, so I was excited. I’m glad I went because...Read More

We loved it. We walked in and the incense & music was setting the vibe. A perfect combo platter sized just right for two. Exceptional service and friendly manager. Tea and conversation to round out the meal.

Generous portions of pretty good food. Though, I expected the lalibela tibs to be spicier and to use less oil. Assa dullet was a bit disappointing. The club can also be very loud. Nice tea.
