★★★★★ 5.0 Emely Chen · Dec 2025

Absolutely delicious. It was a very clean environment and everything on the meat combo plate with chicken and beef was so flavorful and fulfilling!

★★★★★ 5.0 Nish S · Sep 2025

Place had a wonderful Ethiopian vibe with incense and beautiful artwork that set the mood right away. The food was made with quality ingredients…tasty, flavorful, and very authentic. Service was warm and welcoming, and the dishes came out quickly. A great spot to enjoy a genuine Ethiopian experience.

★★★★★ 5.0 Rosemary E. · Jan 2026

Fabulous, fabulous Ethiopian food here for excellent value! I'm recommending this spot to anyone looking for properly good Ethiopian food in the greater Boston area--I've been on a bit of a hunt myself for good Ethiopian food and I'm thrilled to say I've finally found it after multiple bad meals from other restaurants. I got shiro and gomen and ayeb be gomen and was deliriously impressed. I grew up spoiled with a large selection of great Ethiopian food, and this place is the real deal! The shiro was excellent--creamy and satisfying, the gomen was a great subtle contrast, and the ayeb be gomen (cheese with collards) was very tasty and everything had appropriate and nourishing portions. I'll be ordering from here again!

The food here is absolutely incredible. Service in regard to how quickly the food is prepared is a little slow at times when they are very busy, but that it to be expected, and the food quality and how quickly they seat you and their attentiveness more than makes up for it. This is a regular spot for me and my family/friends.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Dereck yang · Feb 2025

I have mixed feelings about this place...on one hand, the food was solid and the price was relatively cheaper compared to other options nearby. However, the service was a bit slow, and my stomach doesn't feel well afterwards, which could be something I ate there. Still, the sambusa was solid, and the injera was not too sour, if that's what you prefer.
