S/O and I shared the vegan combo and dereq tibs, a pitcher of their infused water, an Ethiopian cream coffee, and a glass of palm tree (their arnold palmer). The food was fantastic. I loved every bite we had, especially the gomen (braised greens), cabbage and carrot, and the kik alicha. The dereq tibs, though? That was AMAZING. Tender beef, sweet stewed onion, the perfect amount of spice from the serranos. I loved that the dish is accompanied by senafich (a spicy, horseradish-y mustard) and mitmita (a DELICIOUS chili powder that I want to put on everything lol). The beverages were delicious, I love an arnold palmer and this one is probably the best i've ever had with their spiced tea. Their coffee was decadent and strong and perfectly balanced. And the banana split! I am not usually one for dessert but I knew I needed to try this and I'm SO glad I did. A symphony of textures and complex flavors. We may or may not have used our fingers to get the last bits from the dish. The place itself is like a little oasis from the hustle and bustle of the strip mall outside. Vibey music, beautiful furniture and decor, and all attention paid to the little details. Can't wait for them to reopen so we can come back!! Parking - strip mall was crowded, but street parking wasn't too bad to find.

My first time having Ethiopian food, and it was fantastic!…read more We ordered the vegan combo, doro wat, and beef awaze tibs. The vegan combo came with a bunch of flavorful things like stewed red lentils, stewed yellow split peas, Ethiopian salad, et cetera. I'm not vegan, but I would have been more than satisfied with just the vegan combo as it was delicious and filling. The doro wat - spicy braised chicken with a hard-boiled egg - was tender and tasty. I thought the beef dish was even better. The beef pieces practically melted in my mouth. And everything went great with the injera, which had a spongy texture that I found absolutely pleasing. The service was also wonderful. Before our meal, our server performed a hand-washing ceremony with rose water. And after we finished eating, we were presented with wet towels to clean our hands. Throughout lunch, our server kept our glasses of water filled. This place is a small intimate spot with very few tables, so reservations are strongly recommended.

It has American, Mexican and Ethiopian food, so there is something for everyone :) I started with the Sambusa with beef and really liked it! The waitress recommended us to eat it with salsa from their salsa bar and it paired perfectly. It was a little oily but great flavor regardless! I also got the Awaze tips with Injera and beef. The injera was a spongey tortilla/bread like carb that was covered with a beef/veggies mixture. We were able to adjust the spice level on this since the waitress warned us the dishes were very spicy but to be honest, it wasn't spicy at all and I would like to try the other dishes with spice next time. The Awaze tips dish was really good and pretty big portion. Excellent service and food! I would love to come back to try more.

I had a wonderful time and found the food delicious! Our server helped us decide what to order as we are "older" adults and cannot eat too much at one meal. They have a good assortment of drinks to choose from. I had a glass of wine. They brought us large carafes of cold water, which was great to sip in-between courses. We had the Brik, Salads, B'Stilla, Honey Lamb, Lemon Chicken, Tea and Dessert. I liked everything - but I especially loved the Honey Lamb - and I don't usually like lamb! I wish I could include pictures here, but this type of food is eaten with your hands, so it was not possible to take pictures. (There is a hand-washing ceremony before eating, and even though I am somewhat of a "germaphobe", I was very comfortable eating without utensils after handwashing.) They do include forks with the courses if you prefer. If you look at the photos of the food on their web site, they are exactly how the food looks when you order it. The service was excellent. We had a main server who brought our courses and described in detail exactly what the ingredients were. And we had secondary server who kept our water carafe filled, brought other items as needed and cleared dishes. Service was perfectly timed, and the courses were freshly prepared and at the perfect temperature. We were there on a Saturday night, so a belly dancer performed as we were finishing, which was fun. We used Uber so we didn't need parking, but they have a parking lot right off Sunset with adequate spaces for guests. Moun of Tunis has been in this location since 1977, but I never knew. Will I go back? YES! Do I recommend this place? YES!

The food is really good. They have a salad which is portioned with minced carrots and rose water. As strange as that sounds, it was very unique and amazing. The population here can be hit or miss.

I'll admit, I sometimes feel like vegetarian food can lack flavor, but that was definitely NOT the case here. Everything we had was bold, flavorful, fresh, and absolutely delicious. We ordered the lunch special: I had the spicy eggplant with soy beef, and he had the pad Thai. Both dishes were packed with flavor, perfectly tender, and didn't feel like they were "missing" anything compared to non-vegetarian dishes. The rice stood out, it wasn't your typical plain jasmine rice but more of a hearty grain blend, which I actually enjoyed even more. On top of the amazing food, the staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. This place is definitely going to be a regular for me when I'm in the area. It's a bit of a drive, but 100% worth it. A huge bonus if you have kids! they have a little station with crayons and Legos. That small detail made a big difference for me. My toddlers stayed happily entertained, and I was actually able to sit and enjoy my meal in peace. Thank you for thinking of parents and creating a more relaxed dining experience!!! 100% recommend.

Everything was spotless, calm, and full of genuinely lovely people. The service was so warm I briefly considered asking if I could move in. I ordered a latte, the Caesar tempeh wrap, and a bowl -- and somehow every single bite tasted like it had been blessed by woodland fairies with culinary degrees. Flavor? Absolutely out of this world. But the BEST part? The names of the dishes. "I Am Well," "I Am Grateful," "I Am Light"... and when your server brings your food they lovingly announce: "You are well." Honestly, being affirmed by a stranger while handed organic vegan food healed at least 37% of my problems. I came for lunch and accidentally left spiritually moisturized. If you want delicious fully vegan organic food, positive vibes, and the experience of being gently complimented by your salad, this place is IT.
