★★★★★ 5.0 Zachary Benson · Oct 2025

Great flavors. Been wanting to try this for awhile. Did not disappoint. I ordered the Beef Alicha Fitfit (which actually uses lamb instead of beef) and paired it with Ethiopian honey wine. The server was great: very friendly. There's many menu items I want to try someday!

When I come here, I feel like I am treated like I’m a part of the family. Lovely restaurant. Great food!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Miranda · Jan 2026

Looks like locally owned. Drinks are in cans and bottles. I got the vegetarian platter, which didn't have cheese with it (good cause I wanted vegan). Each dish had a good amount of flavor, but was barely warm. The red stuff was spicy, but probably my favorite. The roasted beets were really good. The injera bread went really well with the collard greens, but I didn't care for it with the other items. I would rather have rice or some other sort of carb. The vegetarian platter was $22 or so. The place is small and has a patio. It has a bunch of different products in the front. The tables are too small for how far apart the booth seats were. Overall, I would return- but would try other Ethiopian places first. There are two designated parking spaces for the restaurant, and then paid lot parking

Delicious food! We ordered some Kitfo with Kocho. The tartar was so rich and creamy. We got Doro Watt, which was tender and flavorful. The Injera, sour fermented flatbread, that's served with stuff is a bit odd if you've never had it before. They were also out of several items when we tried to order. Not the cleanest either, but still amazing food and will be coming back.

★★★★★ 5.0 Braden Dressel · Feb 2026

This is a fantastic go-to Ethiopian spot in Minneapolis. The owner is incredibly kind and welcoming, the staff is always friendly, and the food is consistently fresh and authentic. You can really feel the care that goes into everything. Highly recommend!
