    A woman owned Ethiopian restaurant to put on your list! I'm not an expert on Ethiopian food but love all the option to try here. The owner is great about making recommendations. Good selection of vegan and vegetarian meals as well. Went with a group and everything ordered looked worth trying. Good sized portions and affordable. It's a small spot so if taking a group call in advance or be willing to wait. Enjoy!

    The place was clean and quiet when I arrived after duty, uniform on and all -I was hungry! I was…read moregreeted by the host and there was soft music playing, but was interrupted by a table of 3 in the corner who thought they had the restaurant to themselves. I was told I could have a seat wherever I liked, and a menu was placed in my table a minute later with a glass of water. There were an array if meat and vegetarian options, including combination platters. I ordered the 2 mushroom and 2 cabbage and carrot sambusas, they came with spicy green sauce which was delicious. The mushroom was my favorite! I asked hot many of the vegetables were included with the combo for 1, and was happy to find the ALL of them did -which most places limit your options. It wasn't a long wait before my sambusa to come out. And I had time to eat 2 Bru yesterday my meal arrived. The spread look bright and delicious, my taste buds agreed. The host/owner perhaps, kindly gave me a military discount without me asking and thanked me for my service. When I went to pay he asked how everything was, again. I told him everything was wonderful, and I'd definitely be back!

    Just ordered Doordash from here for the first time!…read more The last time I had Ethiopian food was years ago and today I was craving it! I ordered a platter for 1 that included key wot, ye-siga alicha, & beef awaze tips. Now, I honestly didn't know what any of that was but the photos looked great so I got it! You can tell the packaged everything with care to keep the food warm for when it arrived. That was so appreciated. I just took a few bites and immediately wanted to write a review. The flavors are great! I really hope to come visit the restaurant in person some day. Thank you for making food that feels like comfort & love! I will definitely order again in the future.

    The portions are simply too small for the cost charged, $20+. I ordered chicken egusi. My sister…read moreordered fish. They gave me a lunch portion, two small pieces of chicken in a small to-go bowl. It was so stingy looking! My sister's came in a dinner plate, one whole fish with fried plantains and egusi. She had enough food for two. What??? It started some sibling rivalry. Now I'm mad and still hungry. The flavor was good, but the portions are too small to return. Fix this issue, and this place could succeed. Otherwise, I will have to take my business to Ecko.

    I had been craving African food randomly. I hadn't had it since college. I love love loveeee trying…read moreother ethnic foods. I decided to go with this place. I was working and ordered it from a food delivery app. I got the Egusi and added pounded yam. It didn't let me choose the meat but when I received it I figured it was goat. When the food arrived, I was pretty surprised at how small of a portion it was. It came in a Tupperware with just enough to cover the bottom plus a tad more. In the soup were two small pieces of meat. Ehhh. Disappointed but oh well. I tried it and the flavor was AMAZING yet spicy. But not just plain of spicy. It was packed with FLAVOR! I loved it and ate it how they do with my hands with a finger full of the pounded yam. I may try other menu items in the future. Hopefully I get more bang for the buck lol
