I later realized it seems like more of a takeout restaurant. I ordered the peanut butter soup with goat and a side of fufu. I was expecting the peanut butter soup to have more of a peanut butter taste, but it did not - it tasted more like a stew, but still delicious! It was my first time trying goat so I wasn't sure what to expect. I really enjoyed it, the meat was super tender and flavorful. The fufu complemented the meal nicely as well. The person taking our order, as well as the chef were super nice. The chef came out and made sure we were enjoying everything. Overall a very good experience. Prices were reasonable. I would definitely recommend for takeout versus dine-in.

We arrived a little less than an hour before closing time but we were still happily served. Let me be clear, this is a Ugandan restaurant. Okay, moving on. Our food came out, steaming hot and fresh- nothing seemed like it was reheated (try eating reheated posho y'all). We stayed long after the restaurant was closed to finish our food which really gave me the real homey Ugandan vibes. There were also a bunch of Ugandan uncles in the corner just chatting it up the entire time which was fun. Also, there's a store with Ugandan products, raw frozen cassava/matooke, bitenge, and some other Ugandan staples like Royco, Blueband, Majaani, etc!

My wife and I have been meaning to stop by this restaurant…read more We swung by for a late lunch and were thrilled with our food. One ordered from the "Specials" list. 1 Curry Goat, and one item from the Entree list, Waakye (wha'-Che). The goat was tender, flavorful with atypical spice combination relative to the typical homogeneous food outlet offerings in the quiet corner of CT and Webster, MA area. The Waakye is a combination plate of Ghanaian beef stew, a great rice, spaghetti(!) a hard boiled egg (whole), and a small portion of firmly fried, bone-in piece of fish! We both appreciated the big flavor profile of both dishes. This does not mean they were peppery "hot". (If you can enjoy medium store-bought salsa, you will love these dishes.) We are looking forward to trying the many other dishes in the near future. We can't speak to the eclectic inclusion of the Mexican side of their menu...not yet any way. The two women working were helpful and generous with their time. The tables and chairs are simple, pedestrian and sufficient. You are there to enjoy and experience the food and the understated welcome of the busy women doing everything fresh.

Rating: 4.5 Came to…read morestopped by this local family owned Ethiopian restaurant for lunch on the way to Vermont. Street parking available around the area. It's a small restaurant with just few seatings and a counter. Inside was pretty empty. Looked authentic as everyone in there were African people and seemed to be speaking African language. We sat down and looked at the menu. Menu is small but offer authentic Ethiopian dishes. I ended up getting some samosas to start, spicy lentil, mixed veggie and beef. Had chai tea. Chai tea was nice and hot, chai flavor with subtle sweetness and creaminess. The samosas were fresh, steaming, crispy, and hot on the inside. Came with a dipping sauce the has bit of acidity. All the types were good but beef was my favorite. We got Ethiopian platter with meat. It came with large anjero which is a spongy fermented flat bread which feels and look like a pancake. It came with 5 different dishes on top which consisted of lentil mix, beef and vegetables, cauliflower and eggplant, chicken and veggie, and collard greens and vegetables. You scoop up the dish with anjero and eat them together. I've never had this kind of dish but it was very interesting and tasty. It had lots of vegetables and was large portion so even sharing with another person, I feel like i got really full and got my vegetables for the day. Everything was spiced and flavored well and reminded of authentic home cooking. Even though that taste of the food wasn't mind blowing it was hearty, soulful and healthy food that leave you feel satisfied. The service was excellent. The server which i think is the owner was very nice and helpful. Being relatively new to Ethiopian cuisine he was able help us navigate what to expect and order and answer any questions. He was very friendly and almost felt like a fatherly figure. Overall this place is definitely a hidden gem. If you want to try authentic Ethiopian soul food. I highly recommend visiting. Food and service were excellent. I enjoyed the experience and i was glad that i was able to try new type of food i've never tried before. These kind of family owned local restaurant are what i like to and want others to support.

The man working there was friendly and welcoming and we got an Ethiopian anjero platter with three vegetable stews, beef, and chicken. Everything was delicious and tasted healthy and fresh. I think I preferred both meat stews and the mixed vegetable stew over the lentils and eggplant stews, but everything was great. I'm going to have to clarify this next time maybe, but the stews came atop a large anjero that tasted a bit more sour than the smaller ones that came on the side. We remember the bread from the other Ethiopian place we've tried in the past to be more sour than both of the ones we had here. I looked it up and it seems there's a difference between the Ethiopian anjero (larger and more fermented/sour) and the Somali one. I like both, but it was just interesting to learn.
