This place has amazing food. I have never had Ethiopian food and found the Awaze tibs delicious. My vegetarian friend got the four -sample plate and said it was good too. Be prepared to eat with your hands!

Fantastic food. Get the meat sampler if it's your first time for Ethiopian. They say it's for 3 but could easily feed 4. Great service, very attentive. Low prices. I left full and happy!
