We were excited to find Ethiopian food on island - we stopped by the address and could not find it. The reviews are years old; we thought this was closed, but apparently they're doing carry out only. Great to know, will try in future. Mahalo !!

This was my first time eating Ethiopian food. I didn't know what to expect and I enjoy trying new ethnic foods. First of all the initial entrance and dinning area seemed a bit small however we were introduced to the outside area and it was beautiful. The greenery and water features were beautiful. Thumbs up all the way. We started off with the appetizers. And it didn't disappoint. The sambusas were golden brown and delicious. 2 pieces for $7.50. The food here is indeed pricey and the food is served family style. Prices for food range from 19 to 25 dollars. The flavors were unique and unfamiliar though several of the dishes surprised my with it's flavors. The Ethiopian style iced tea packed a "punch" so to speak. Kind a like punkin pie drink.

I've never had African food before. Everything tasted great! We had spicy lamb and the Ethiopian Love Sampler. I Love the experience eating without utensils, the bread was perfect. Only prices were more than expected, small kine sticka shock, Africkn dent in our budget.

One of my first stops on the island and a joy to experience every time. The food is an adventure of spices and care. I love the vegan options, and enjoy sharing my favorite wots with friends and family. The food is what you'll go for, but the experience will keep EL on your mind.

Small, simple place, better than expected food. A bit of a mom and pop feel, probably seats 30 people. Fairly short menu but something for everyone. I had beef tibs and it was some of the best I’ve had. Good portions, reasonable prices. Service was pretty good. Would return.
