★★★☆☆ 3.0 Yiduke M · Mar 2025

Ethiopian cuisine is easily among the top ten in the world when it comes to variety and flavor, and if marketed like other international cuisines, it could have a huge impact on the culinary scene. Unfortunately, this place doesn’t do it justice. The food lacks authenticity, with weak seasoning and poor cooking techniques. Most dishes don’t come close to the rich, flavorful, and finger-licking goodness of real Ethiopian food. The magic of Ethiopian cuisine lies in its seasoning and slow cooking, both of which are missing here.

★★★★★ 5.0 Clark Strubhar · Feb 2026

Slightly bigger serving size and better price than some other similar Ethiopian restaurants nearby. Place is clean and tastefully decorated with plenty of space; some of the tables and plates show signs of wear and tear, but I personally don't care much about that. They have coffee, smoothie and alcohol options as well.

My first time trying Ethiopian food and I’m glad I tried here! The lady behind the counter was super nice and recommended the best smoothie (fantasy island) I have had in a long while. Everything we got came quick, fresh, and delicious. In addition, this place is very vegan/vegetarian friendly, and also have great meat options. If you had a group of friends with all different tastes and preferences, this is a great place for you all.

★★★★★ 5.0 Kenny Duthie · Jul 2022

Excellent experience! Located in a less than desirable part of town but the food did not let us down at all! Everything was high quality and tasty. While some food may seem bland at times, you can simply salt to taste. Many spicy options are available. Great smoothies also! Menu is online, just scan QR code.

★★★★★ 5.0 Nathaniel Tofani · Dec 2021

I have been to a good amount of Ethiopian restaurants because of my love for the food, especially the injera (fermented bread) that it is served upon. I decided to come here for my birthday awhile back and was absolutely amazed by the deliciousness of the food here. It was all so flavorful and captivated my palate. I will surely be returning any chance that I get.
