Every dish we tried was delicious, and it's easily some of the best Ethiopian food I've had. That said, be prepared to take your time. The ordering and food preparation process is very slow, and during our visit the "servers" were literal children. We ended up spending close to two hours there, with most of that time waiting for the food to come out. If you're in a rush, this probably isn't the spot. But if you're willing to slow down and enjoy a relaxed, unhurried meal, the quality of the food makes the wait worthwhile. I'd absolutely come back, just with patience and no tight schedule.

Absolutely incredible from start to finish. I ordered the watermelon fries, the Little Taste with…read morebeef tibs, and selected the chef's choice for my six sides -- which included a fresh salad, chickpeas, yellow lentils, yellow rice, greens, and a veggie medley. I also added the cheesecake sambusa. Everything was outstanding. The watermelon fries were such a refreshing start. The beef tibs were deeply flavorful and tender. Each of the sides had such great flavor profiles! I first tried Ethiopian food about 12 years ago at a place in Portland, Oregon, and I've been wanting it again ever since. When I saw this restaurant open here in Valdosta, I was genuinely excited to finally have it again -- and now I wish I had gone sooner because I've clearly been missing out. Even as a pickup order, the service stood out the staff was personable and inviting. Everything was carefully packed, warm, and clearly made with care. And the cheesecake sambusa? Unreal, the perfect way to finish the meal. I can't wait to go back and make this a regular spot for my family and me.

From my first phone call with Mia to the moment we walked out the door, the service was exceptional. Managing a large group of hungry, hot, and thirsty athletes and parents isn't easy, but Mia handled it effortlessly. She stayed on top of everything with a smile and made sure no one was waiting for food, drinks, or anything else. She truly made our experience memorable. The food was just as impressive! I ordered the pork nachos, and they were incredible. My husband loved the ribs and mac & cheese. Around the table, the wings and grits were also huge favorites--but honestly, everyone raved about their meals. Not a single complaint from anyone in our group! The restaurant itself was spacious without being overly loud, making it easy for our large group to enjoy our meal together. Even the restrooms were spotless, and the sparkly countertops were such a fun touch. If you're traveling with a large group, definitely call ahead--and if you can, ask for Mia. She went above and beyond, and I can confidently say you won't be disappointed. We can't wait to come back!

From the…read moremoment we walked in to be greeted and they said "welcome to the family," to the server talking through the menu to help us decide, we had fantastic service. The atmosphere was upbeat with music playing and you could smell the bbq throughout the restaurant. I just knew the food would be good and let me tell you!! Every bite was delish. We agreed it was one of the overall best meals we have had in a long time (and we eat out at many different places often). Try the soul rolls..and the ribs, pork chops...and ALL of it! We will definitely be back!

It's very family friendly, but a little pricey for the quality. The calamari was dry and overcooked, and the sweet potato fries were just OK. The ribeye cheesesteak however, was surprisingly good. We asked for the calamari to come out with the sandwich, but it arrived much earlier. By the time the sandwich was served the calamari was long gone even though we had explained it intended to be the meal for hubby since he wasn't very hungry. Overall, there were some positives but the food was definitely inconsistent. While it is clearly a popular spot, our experience doesn't make us eager to return. If we're ever passing through again, we're not sure we would give it another try, though it's possible other menu items are much better.
