Vegan friendly and delicious. I got takeout sambusas (spinach was good, mixed veg was sooo good) and lentil soup. Really nice people and decor. Breakfast foule sounds so good, I’ll have to come back on a morning!

Local hole in the wall place run by seemingly husband and wife. Amazing food - where else can you get to try 9 dishes for under $20. Highly recommend vegan sampler. It’s two meals worth of food and everything has its own flavor profile and is delish. Quick service and yummy food. Not a fancy sit down restaurant, but a great place for a person just interested in good food and supporting local business.

★★★★★ 5.0 Julian Janssen · Nov 2025

The woman who provided service to me was very warm, polite and accommodating. I recommend others get the spicy tea along with your meal, as that is very nice. I ordered Combo 2, which comes with Doro watt (chicken stew) and key watt (beef stew) and two of their many vegan options. I chose yellow split peas and collared greens. The food was really good and I enjoyef it and the atmosphere a lot. My only slight issues is that I felt the beef in the key watt could have been stewed longer to make it more tender and allow the spices to penetrate into the meat a little more, and in my opinion the collared greens could have been slightly saltier. For dessert, I had their rice pudding and it was quite nice and subtle.

My friend and I popped in here after seeing in walking around. The food was amazing and the service was too. Cannot express how much we liked this place. They were also very accommodating with food allergies/preferences. Several option were gluten free and/or vegetarian. Potions were huge. I literally got 4 meals out of mine.

★★★★★ 5.0 Mr. O · Apr 2025

This place was great their food, service and atmosphere was very relaxing. We tried their vegetarian and vegan plates and were impressed by the flavors. We are not vegan or vegetarian however we try to give each food a try and mix it up often. The baklava and their coffee excellent choices for dessert. Overall a nice experience and a delight to the senses. This type of food is delicious and simple looking but packed with all the nutrients you need. We highly recommend this location for the whole family.
