Leona W. • May 15, 2014The maffe was awesome...lamb with peanut sauce and veggies

Beatriz S. • October 16, 2018Lamb shank and fish is so good and prices are very reasonable. A bit crowded and they will probably get your wine order wrong (happens every time.. ) but it’s really about the food. Recommend 10/10

Yueyue G. • May 7, 2018Waiters seem to have never worked in a restaurant before, asked me 5x to repeat my drink order. Chicken tajine is pretty good but otherwise unimpressive

Elie B. • July 6, 2014Fantastic Eritrean option in the city. Their server Shamm is the bomb! Take her recommendation and enjoy the meal :-)

🌺 bali. 🌺 • June 19, 2011feuille manioc on thursdays is my fav.

Ryan E. • April 1, 2017I had the lamb peanut stew with fufu. It was okay

Jarel H. • October 26, 2023Chicken Suya bowl is incredible.

Ernesto G. • July 14, 2018A very humble restaurant that delivers tasty dishes. The lamb special tibs is great for spicy curry 🌶 lovers. The lamb yebeg alecha was a more grilled take on the meat. Both heavily recommended.

Henali • October 24, 2014My first Ethiopian experience! I picked it based on good reviews on here & Yelp. Their veggie combo is def worth trying for first timers :)

Alexa C. • May 2, 2019Try their meat sampler! Great value, tasty food, very filling for two people

ياسمين ع. • May 29, 2013Fantastic! Spiced just right and the injera IS spectacular. While the decor may not be as fancy as other Ethiopian restaurants, the food is made with love. The vegetarian (lentil) sambusas are a must.
