Keren Bar & Restaurant

I was coming back from a ride and decided to try this restaurant as it was close to my home and new to me. This was the first time in years that I had had Ethiopian food. I’m telling you it was a great way to return. Their Geba Weta is a great dish. I’m sure all of the others are just as good. I’m going back for one of their lamb dishes, soon. The owners and staff are exceedingly welcoming, the dish I had was great and the atmosphere was inviting. ግሩም

If I could give no stars, I would. I understand a low budget business, and I understand things not being perfect. However the problems here were beyond that. Never mind the “hand sanitizer” being soap. Never mind the not-A/C run building— or the bones on the table where I was seated (which were never cleaned up). I won’t even fret over the fact that they had NO basic bar ingredients. $14 per shot of Jameson, however, I will be upset over. They attempted to kick out my quiet party of 5 at 1am, charging us over $70 for having 2 beers and 2 “mules”. Keep in mind that I ended up just mixing sprite with my shot. That’s all fine. They tried to rectify the situation having ended the conversation with “oh but I already ran your card.” Unacceptable.

Pretty cool small bar. Met some cool people and got the chance to try Zibib an Ethiopian liquor.

They are as friendly as they can be but they need a menu to sell anything in America. The servers verbally tell customers what they have in store. Just like the old days when Menu wasn't a thing.

Love the food and the experience. I recommend this place for sure. Me and my family really enjoyed it.
