    The peanut tea tastes exactly like a nutter butter, but it's not too sugary, it's perfect. For meal, yesom fir fir, super satisfying mostly teff dish, bean/veggie stew mix, so healthy but not heavy

    Some of Boston's best Ethiopian food. Try the Che'che'bsa, vegetarian dishes with injera, peanut tea (that tastes like peanut butter pie), and fresh-pressed juices.

    Most menu items here are under $10, and the stye is Ethiopian. Try the Injera, which is a type of flat bread. Try the vegetable dishes or some delicious tender steak. Have fun, there are no forks. Read more

    Dishes served with injera — soft, spongy sourdough flatbread — are among the standouts, like the Addis combo, complexly spiced red lentil stews, selata (soft-cooked greens) and rich, earthy split pea. Read more

    Really good food. Plenty of items under $10. My only complaint was that service was wicked slow and not the best.

    They only serve beef. Don't come here if you are looking for chicken and fish or lamb

    Food was ok. I think I am just spoiled when it comes to Ethiopian, but we were not overly impressed in particular.
