They have a #vegan menu that they actually give out with the regular menu. You don't have to ask or even know the secret password to get it.

This is two veggie and two massawa combos. A good amount for four. Veggies were much better than meat. Injeera (the bread) is meant to be sour which is a bit odd. Nice experience.

Delicious food and a great happy hour. They have a full vegan menu! You can easily split an appetizer and an entree with your date. Ask for the full teff injira and be amazed.

Service can take a while, but with incredibly friendly staff and some really solid veggie dishes, this place is a nice offering for the Morningside Heights area.

Authentic style Ethiopian where you eat with your hands. Meal portions are small however, leaving you licking your fingers looking for more. Food wasn't really outstanding either but worth trying.

Fantastic Eritrean option in the city. Their server Shamm is the bomb! Take her recommendation and enjoy the meal :-)

Good deal for lunch, food is about what you would expect for the price. Lamb curry was tastier than chicken

Get the veggie combo! If you get it for two, you may have any combination of six!

Service a bit slow, but so worth it. Stand-outs were the spicy lamb and spicy shrimp. Amazing.

The ginger tea and rum cake is the perfect end to the meal.

Did NOT enjoy my food. The lamb was mostly bone and fat. Almost no meat AT ALL.
