★★★☆☆ 3.0 Morgan McCain · Mar 2026

Food was totally fine, happy with the portion sizes. I got the shrimp awaze, partner got zilzil keywot. Only downside was the service was a little slow this time. We waited for awhile after ordering drinks to have our food order taken.

This was our second time trying Ethiopian food, and we’re getting more used to the slightly sour wrap and the unique flavors of the main dishes. The sides—Gomen and Misir Alecha—were tasty, but the real highlights were the entrées. The Gored Gored beef and Awaze Tibbs lamb were well seasoned, tender, and juicy. The Shrimp Awaze was a bit spicier than our usual preference, but still enjoyable when eaten with the wrap.

One of our absolute favorite places in Durham!! The food is amazing, staff is knowledgeable and quick. The patio is great. The owner is also always so kind and welcoming. We are always looking forward to our next trip back!

B: the food tasted fresh and the portions were great. The beef was so tender that it felt buttery when you picked it up. It was my first time trying Ethiopian food and was pleasantly surprised with the spice similarities to my own culture! The environment was very welcoming and the staff were attentive.

★★★★★ 5.0 Darren Strickland · Aug 2025

Came for lunch with a coworker, and we're waited on by the owner, Fasil. Such a genuinely nice guy, and you could absolutely see the pride he had for us to be his customers. There aren't many places you can go and encounter the actual owner AND their appreciation for your business. We started with Sambusas and Deko sauce. Savory and simple, but the Deko was an incredible touch. I had the Zilzil Alecha, and it was absolutely tender, savory, and decadent. I'm not even sure what my coworker got, but we both were absolutely satisfied with the app and lunch. Will definitely be back! I've been wanting to get Ethiopian for the longest time, and I am NOT disappointed. Amazing!
