My family had a lovely vegan veggie plate dinner. We shared three veggie plates between six people, and that was plenty of food. The injera was cooked perfectly for scooping. The greens and lentils were flavorfully seasoned. Dinner was a great value with plenty of delicious food for the price. Tensu will soon need to expand their dining area, because the food and service are amazing!

Don't be fooled by the bare-bones kitchen. The food was fan-tas-tic!!! They only had the veggie combo that day, but the flavor was absolutely incredible. The portions were generous and the prices fair! You could tell that this was a community institution, as many people were running in to pick up their daily meal or ingredients. I highly recommend it!

Staying at airport hotels in the US the options for food within walking distance are usually burgers, pizza, fried chicken and the like. So this Ethiopian store/restaurant was a welcome surprise. There was no menu and three choices. I had no idea what they were so chose one randomly - delicious and inexpensive

The food is outta this world. Everything is authentic and shipped fresh from Ethiopia. There’s no menu and only 3 tables and a seating bar. Didn’t bother me, because the food was SO GOOD! The owner was amazingly kind. I wanted to pay 3x what our bill came out to. Incredibly cheap, good, and heartfelt. If I lived in the area, I would eat here at least once a week. Cmon! This spot is golden. Do yourself a spicy favor and try it.

Great little local store with a restaurant inside! Friendly staff and good food. There is no fixed menu, you have to ask inside. The dining area is small.
