Clemente CuevasJune 20, 2015Vegetarian here: may be the best Ethiopian I've had in Brooklyn. Very flavorful, and a very good value for the quality in an Ethiopian restaurant.- Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014The Ghenet combo for four is a good deal, allowing you to sample almost everything on the menu-all the vegetarian dishes, as well as doro watt (spiced chicken stew), and sega watt (spiced beef stew).

Marc MayerJune 4, 2018If it’s on the menu, it’s probably going to be delicious. I think about the green beans on a daily basis. You should probably order them, because I said so. You can trust me, I know your dad.
Михаил АлександровичNovember 9, 2013What a unique eating experience! Order the Ghenet combination with 4 meats & 4 veggies, which comes with the awesomely spicy Sega Wett beef dish, dig in ONLY with your hands and share with friends!
N. C.February 18, 2013The beef tartare is phenomenal but the fish is close. Make sure you get the lentils! The chicken choice includes a drumstick and an egg so if you want to share, stick with the beef! Lamb tibs = yum
Natali BezeNovember 13, 2017Good for a date and if you look for a new experience. Girls, please be prepared that is no silverware, cut your nails before you go there!😉
Great Ethiopian food. Many vegan options. Get the vegetarian platter to try lots of the dishes in one meal. And if you didn't know: teff (the grain used to make injera bread) is gluten free.
Cynthia HayesNovember 6, 2016Get the Katenga and Sambusa to start, then order a platter. It's all so deliciously spiced. End with the flan-thick and rich and a sweet end to the savory meal.
Joy ChenJune 27, 2016Ghenet combo for two is waaay more than enough for two. Doro wett is delicious, and I was pleasantly surprised by the veggie sides like the cabbage dish (atkelt wett).- N BJanuary 17, 2013Hands down, best Ethiopian food in NYC! I enjoyed every bite as everything I tried was really good... I recommend the Ghenet Combination (with Doro Wot) and Lamb Tibs...
Benjy WeinbergerSeptember 16, 2017Best Ethiopian food I've ever had. The mushroom sauce dish was a standout among the vegetarian entrees.
Jack ClausenMay 8, 2016Ghenet combination and the Doro Wett is everything so make sure you get that one. Everything was good to be honest. No need for apps, so much food!
William JohnsonSeptember 25, 2016Everything is great which is why the Ghenet combination is the way to go. Try multiple things and work your way through the menu!
Jen FoxFebruary 20, 2015My first Ethiopian food experience. You can get a "sampler" to try everything. Be prepared to get messy because you eat it with your hands!
Selom AJuly 27, 2017My favorite Ethiopian place! Order any of the wetts, aterkik aletcha, and the gomen 👌🏾
the lovely hao lianMarch 22, 2016great for lg grps, like a family or baseball team or small organized crime family it's up to you man
HolidayOctober 1, 2018Vegan combo! Choose your own - mushroom and butternut squash choices are the stand outs. Open for lunch on the weekends.
Chris LApril 17, 2014Here’s what you do: go with four people, order the $60 combination, which gets you basically all of the restaurant’s best dishes for $15 a person.

If you're Gluten-Free, call the day before and they will make tef-only injera for you. (The regular injera is made with some wheat)
Alexis BrillJuly 26, 2012Best Ethiopian food in NY! Come with a group and share the veggie combo. All veggie dishes are vegan too. Huge portions, and lively scene.
Ian GeeApril 27, 2017Combo platter is a great way to get acquainted and have a lot of variety. Lamb tibs was really good too
Roberta SuplicyJuly 11, 2015I live in Brazil and every single time I come to NY since the were in so-ho I come to eat here! Just love it
Howard WalfishNovember 11, 2015Decent Ethiopian food. The sampler platters offer the best value and give you tons of food
Pratheeksha KSFebruary 7, 2016The appetizer took a little longer than expected so they didn't include it in our check! Super nice people and great veggie platter.
Dee PhunkJuly 29, 2011I'm going to make ordering simple if you have a party of 4 (because the menu is kinda confusing). Order the combo platter for 4. You will get all the meat & veggie options on one big plate. Enjoy.
Their 100% Teff Injera is the best I've ever tasted. I've been eating Ethiopian food for many years. :)- Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014We particularly like the earthy, lemony collard greens, the stewed red lentils and the cabbage and potatoes. Read more
Hollaka Hollala ƪ( ˘ ³˘)┐ ƪ( ˘ ³˘)ʃ ┌( ˘ ³˘)ʃFebruary 16, 2016Great food and ambiance; a good place for dates if you're comfortable sharing and enjoy trying a little bit of everything!
DaveFebruary 1, 2015Best Ethiopian food in New York. Just have them throw together a platter for you. Don't use your left hand when eating!
Premshree PillaiApril 25, 2013Gather your friends, order a combination. Come hungry, portions are generous.
Jarel HillJuly 23, 2018Went here w Elle. Interesting and good. A little more interesting than good but still good!
Theo AlemayehouJanuary 6, 2013The kategna with kitfo & cheese appetizer is the highlight of the menu ! Must try and you'll be begging for more.
Albert FreemanJune 11, 2012The appetizer raw beef rolls with chili and a little it of crumbled cheese are a standout but everything here is tasty.
- Ilona KirnosOctober 7, 2013Love their wine!! Try the steak or tuna tartare rolled in kategna and the doro wett.
I always get the vegetarian combo. I'm not even vegetarian, but it's DELICIOUS.
Ghenet combo portions are 👌! Can probably order less if your party is not very hungry
AngelaFebruary 22, 2015Pricey, so go for the combo platters so you can get the best of all the entrees.
Bobby GrazioseDecember 16, 2012Skip the Apps and just go straight for the Ghenet Combo. So filling and delish.
