Loved this place!! If you let them know you are gluten free ahead of time you can get gluten free injera and it was DELICIOUS. The staff is so sweet and helpful. It was an amazing spot and I really recommend :) there were 4 of us so we got to try a ton of stuff and everything was seasoned amazing and so tender

After my Pops moved back to NYC from DC we stopped visiting Ethiopian restaurants because we had such a high standard. This place lived up to it and then some. Lovely food and atmosphere with warm smiles and service. Just what was needed on a cold day in December in NYC. We will definitely return when I visit again.

Everyone left feeling the meal was worth what we paid. Both cuisine and staff friendliness exceeded expectations. Their dishes showcase unusual talent. You receive generous servings at reasonable rates. I am definitely going to be a frequent diner here now.

It may look like your average neighborhood restaurant, but the food is amazing!I wandered in with two friends on a Sunday afternoon, and was immediately greeted by the friendly staff. Restaurant was not that crowded. We ordered Meat Sampler with one Premium Sampler Item and three boiled eggs (For three members together) You can get it individual plate. But we thought of eating Ethiopian way. The service person really explained everything about the ,menu and the quantity go the food. So we were not at all confused with anything. Food was so tasty and we could not stop eating. You can get Ethiopian beer in this restaurant. Only one negative thing I noticed is the washroom. It was not that great and may be its NY. So we need to adjust.

This restaurant succeeds on many levels. The workers were easy to talk with. This restaurant experience has me struggling for a starting point. Their food impresses without breaking the bank. This place earns my complete trust!
