Great place to grab an Ethiopian bite! The server was so kind and took time explaining what we should get considering it was my first time trying Ethiopian food. She also brought us some complimentary fresh bread which was very kind! The have a gluten free injera as well. We got the Bethel Special which had a variety of vegetarian dishes with a beef Tibs in the middle and it was absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend!

Oh yeah! Lunch was a vegetarian and a meat, was all fantastic and 2 entrees were more than enough for the three of us. 3 kinds of lentils, 2 kinds of greens, some salads, cheese, potatoes, all really good. Only a few things were only slightly hot (yes, I’m soft! So what??!!) but the seasoning was spot on, especially the raw beef when grabbed with the yellow lentils. Service was great, nice folks serving great food. I won’t be going anywhere else for my Ethiopian dinners for a while.

First time ever trying Ethiopian food which I had wanted to for a long time. Ordeedr delivery through Uber eats and it was quick and efficient and had a very generous serving for only about $20. I ordered the veggie combo and it was beyond delicious. It was like an explosion of flavor that I had never experienced with so many notes that it was almost overwhelming for my mouth in an extremely pleasant way! Will definitely be ordering again. Food was beyond delicious and portions and quality is superb!!!

Went for breakfast/lunch. We had lentils, silsi, and another dish. All delicious, great atmosphere, and the staff is thoughtful and genuinely care about the diner's experience. Looking forward to returning.
