The food is amazing and there's so much variety in a plate! Filling, flavorful, and not expensive. We had a great time there and will be visiting again. Wonderful place :)

I'm normally never out this way, and the two restaurants besides this one we're closed at the time. So what the hell, let's try something new!! The people outside and inside looked like they were enjoying themselves. So you order at the front counter your food and drinks. Take your number they give you to a table of your preference and wait. The ambiance of this place is super cool. One part of the restaurant is like a bike shop, if I remember correctly. It didn't take long for my Kimchi Bloody Mary to show up. Yes it sounds weird but it was damn good!!!! As some may know I love a good BLT!! This is not your regular smegular BLT. Wow of wow was it fresh and delicious. I finished that plate like I was starving!! I wanted another bloody Mary but I was driving home, so no bueno!! And don't be

★★★★☆ 4.0 Becca · Nov 2024

I am giving this such a high review because the pasta was AMAZING!!!! But the other food was definitely cooked in a rush and not cooked over many hours. The injera was quite dry and thin. The atmosphere was awkward as it was completely empty. The service was kind, but the food took forever to come out which really pushed me to think that it was definitely made last minute and not spent cooking and stewing through the day. I will definitely be back for the pasta though. The price was okay but for the small amount of meat in the pasta it was a bit expensive, but so good that I will be back.

This restaurant give you the best value for your money. The $23 Zobel combo will feed 3 people a full meal. Be prepared to eat with your hands.
