We stopped by here tonight. We had a late lunch, so we wanted to get a few plates to share with everyone. We got the lamb awaze ribs and the cottage special zelzel beef tibs as well as the beef sambusa. Both tibs were flavorful and unique, would recommend trying. The beef sambusa was okay. We also got the Yemar Tej (Honey Wine), which was very flavorful. Would highly recommend getting a glass. We had a party of 5, and there was an added service charge for the party size. I was not aware of this after I paid for the bill (including additional tip). Fortunately, the manager of the restaurant was very honest, polite, and professional. She quickly rectified the issue without any difficulty. Much appreciated!

This beautiful spot is the only Ethiopian restaurant in Georgetown and such a warm, inviting addition to the neighborhood. The atmosphere inside is gorgeous — cozy yet elegant — and instantly made us feel welcome. I ordered an authentic Ethiopian coffee, and they didn’t just serve it — they presented it with a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony, right there! They explained how coffee has deep cultural roots and is widely believed to have originated in Ethiopia, where the coffee plant (Coffea arabica) grows wild and where the legend of its discovery by a goathe
