★★★★★ 5.0 Sarah Oyungu · Dec 2025

This is the second time I’ve been here and it does not disappoint! I love Ethiopian food and was glad to stumble upon this place. The food is delicious, the service is great, and the proprietor (I believe she was Vera) is on hand to give suggestions and steer you in the right direction. We did about four of the different entrées and ate them family style with sides of Injera. There were five of us and we had a good amount of leftovers. The food is spicy, but not hot. The dessert was delicious and light parrot with some of the Ethiopian coffee and you have a winning combination the price point is certainly reasonable. This is definitely going on my list of favorites.

Vera's Kitchen is one of those rare gems that keeps you coming back. This wasn't my first visit and it certainly won't be my last. Vera herself is warm and welcoming, which sets the tone for the entire experience. I ordered the Sigi Alcha this time and it was absolutely delicious — beautifully seasoned, flavorful, and served with perfectly made injera. If you haven't tried authentic Ethiopian food or are looking for a genuinely special dining experience, this is the place. I always make a point to stop in whenever I'm in town.

I did not leave a single crumb on the plate. If I was in the area, I would surely have gone back the next day to eat the same dish. Today, I decided to explore the flavors from the East Africa by trying Ethiopian cuisine. The African continent is home to more than 50 countries, each with its own unique dishes. Having tried cuisines from various African countries, I was looking forward to comparing this cuisine with what I have had previously in other restaurants. The waitress at Vera's Kitchen was very pleasant and able to explain the items on the menu when we ordered. I choose to eat Beyaynetu, a vegetarian dish served with injera bread, a spongy injera flat bread made from highly nutritious gluten-free teff flour. I loved the complex and rich flavors of the five items on top of the in

I loved the food. I recommend trying tibs and beg wot. The injera which is a spongy sour tasting flatbread is so delicious. It was very peaceful here and the worker was amazing and helpful. Give it a try.

My family and I always have a great time and experience when we come here. The staff remember who we are from visit to visit, even asked about missing family members when we showed up today without our full party. We all leave full and happy…maybe a little stuffed, but very happy!
