- Tried this place out because my friend came across recommendations for it. With a party of four, we got a Bahel 3 (Dereq Tibs, Awaze Tibs, gored gored, lentils, green collard) which is more than enough for a hungry bunch of people. Not exactly...Read More

Delicious. We enjoyed the beef tibs, doro wat, and vegetarian combo. I hadn’t been here in a few years and that was a miss on my part. Will definitely return. Do be prepared to eat with your hands!

Was craving Ethiopian food and found this on a whim and it was amazing! Service was excellent and the food was flavorful. Highly recommend. Also very fair price—the shared platters are a ton of food and even out to about 15-20 bucks a person.
