Fasika cafe has a special place in my heart and always will. Being it's where I had my first Ethiopian food experience. I must admit this restaurant is either a huge hit or a slight miss. The staff are kind people and can be welcoming at times. The ambiance is decked with Ethiopian art on the walls and tables. If your looking for fancy , go else where, if your looking for an authentic experience with some good food this is the spot

so cozy and cute. amazing Ethiopian food. i looooove injera because i can only eat gluten in small increments and its so hard to get a yummy bread without repetition. i highly recommend this shop. the lamb was so tender. the host was very sweet and welcoming, and patient with my friend who had never been to nubian square. will be back.

First time ever trying Ethiopian food and it was DELICIOUS. My friend and I ordered chicken and the 4 veggie plate. It was more than enough for both of us and we got to take the leftovers home! It's a small cafe, but the service is quick and friendly. I would definitely come back and I highly recommend!

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.

I had only been to one Ethiopian restaurant before and enjoyed the food there, so I was eager to…read moretry this restaurant. 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.

A little restaurant tucked in a corner, which I had the fortune of trying today. Went there…read moresnooping for lunch and IT WAS AMAZING! I got spicy beef stew and chapati. It was so good I almost cried. We used to have dishes just like this back home in Bangladesh. I find it amazing that people from countries thousands of miles apart have the same taste. I saw some more chicken items on the menu. I'll definitely go back to try those. There were also other snacks like samosas, sausages, mandazis and also pastries. The samosa is good, but I wish they were spicy, like with green chili. The sausage was okay.

So I move clear across the country and what do I find basically walking distance from my new home…read morebut a Kenyan place! I haven't had Kenyan food in literally years and now I've found a favorite! First up, samosas, basically a large, stuffed "pastry" fried and filled with tasty things. If you've ever had Indian food, you can get similar things there. I'm fairly certain there's a vegetarian option, but we had the meat ones; I could easily just eat a whole meal just of those. Delicious! Then there's chapati (I didn't even know you could get decent chapati in the States!) whish for the uninitiated, is basically like a combination of a flat bread and a tortilla with this smoky sort of flavor that pairs well with everything. Now because it's a small space, they have a limited, rotating menu that changes daily. Today (Saturday) was this savoury beef stew with potatoes, peas, and a few other mixed vegetables that you could get with either (coconut) rice or chapati. (One guess which I picked. ;-p ) And then on recommendation by the housemates, I got a mango smoothie that basically tasted like mango lassi (a yogurt blended beverage) which you can get at most Indian restaurants and was delicious, which is strange because I don't even like mango, but whatever. Clearly, this is a new favorite and I will be going back, a lot, in the near future!

I finally figured I'd search o line and found this spot. I called and the immediately received a text. Everything was communicated through text, including photos of the menu. You order the day before, and pick a time (it seems like they start around lunch), then pay through Cash App. We met our delivery person at 310 Daniel Webster Hwy Mall Entrance. Nashua, NH 03060, which is one of their drop off locations. It took me a bit to understand the process for ordering and pickup, but I couldn't be happier with the food.

This is probably one of the best (if not the best) Nigerian/African restaurants I have been to…read moreespecially considering I have eaten at African restaurants in almost all states across the U.S. Not only is their cooking authentic, they also serve some very specific tribal dishes from smaller ethnic groups that are not common or commoditized for example the black soup specific to the Edo people. Speaking of customer service, they are on a different level. I had to place an order via Uber. Not Uber eats because my location was too far from the restaurant. The person who took my order, Emmanuel, ensured that he called me back when my order was ready and when my uber driver arrived and gave some push back, Emma took my food outside and persuaded him to move forward with the delivery. They always go above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. I definitely give them 5 stars for everything including cleanliness, etc.

Popular place. Have been there severally. I love the food they make for the public to buy directly…read more It is different from what you receive when you place a large order. I was disappointed with 2 orders I placed. They will accept responsibility about not being satisfactory if you complain but will do nothing about your dissatisfaction. Not placing orders ever but will walk in and buy the food they have already made.
