This is great establishment where the staff is always so friendly and attentive. The place is clean and there is even a hand washing station. I love how the Ethiopian culture is highlighted from the videos broadcasted on the tv, art and decor throughout the restaurant. The food was amazing. We got mild spice and it did not disappoint. We got the 4 person meal for 3 of us and there was plenty of left overs. There was a. Assortment of meats and vegetarian options and they were all delicious. My only issue was the injera and some of the sides were cold or close to Lukewarm. I love hot food or at least warm. Also, there is paid street side parking outside.

I would also review the menu and call ahead to see what they have in stock as they prep ingredients weekly and ran out of some things we were interested in (meat pie, drinks, beef) The restaurant is pretty spacious inside with lots of tables and seating. The servers were friendly and helpful in getting our orders in. We enjoyed the spicy goat appetizer, jollof, fufu, turkey morsel, collar greens and egusi. Overall a great experience.

I just want to say I've been to the church right three times you're probably wondering why have I…read morebeen here three times and I'm just now leaving the review. I would like to stay the first two times were takeout. The first time they were under construction in the pictures online, we're not the building, but I was expecting to pull up to because it was not the same location, but I am leaving a review to talk about last night last night. The restaurant looked nice very beautiful, but upon sitting down the menus with the lighting were so dark I had to pull my light out to see, and I am still very young. I am only 30 and I could not see at all the prices that on the menu do not reflect the prices that are on the bill the food we got which will be pictured came cold, like it had been sitting already prepared, and nobody had grabbed our order. A lot of people were very disappointed. One gentleman had to get up to find a waitress because he had shrimp in his food and was allergic to shrimp. I thought that was very negligent for them not to take note of that there was very little knowledge of the menu so not very much help from the service I was going to eat egusi and fufu like on tiktok Now I must say I'm not an African, but the fool balls were almost dry and old the rice my partner had was smoky and very dry. She stated she does not remember any other restaurant food tasting so dry the smokey flavor ridiculously strong. The egusi, was cold... both entrees COLD.! The bathrooms reeked and walls dirty. You can tell this place has a lot of potential, but I don't know how long they will be in business. Also, they only serve wine. I did not see hookah like it states online in the wine. I believe they had were so overpriced but maybe they were shipped over or something. I am going to give about a three star all the way around because I see the potential in this restaurant, but I had a very bad experience with the Food the lighting the bathroom, tables also dirty we prayed hard over our food it all seemed very unhygienic. but I see a lot of potential. Also, I know there is some cultural differences, but there are certain things that could have been better. I hope someone sees it from the restaurant and does a lot better. and if you are going because you have seen things on TikTok that you might want to try, please do your research first and figure out what you want because you do not have a waitress with the knowledge to be able to help you I would have said that there was a language barrier there, but it also seemed like the people that even spoke, their language were having difficulties as well.

You would never know going inside this was an old Arby's...they really decorated it to be sexy, intimate and comfortable with a bit of elevation Good: amazing cocktails...strong with great flavor and I felt it was a good pour Decent: Calamari appetizer I could reorder..I love the red seasoning they powdered on top..it elevated what what have been regular frozen fried calamari Ok: Main meal Peanut stew with beef . The cuts of beef was huge and not flavorful. The peanut stew needed more dimension...I felt the flavor fell flat...good but not amazing. Definitely not spicy at all..maybe a little more salt and some spice I ordered spinach stew/soup with chicken and fish...more tomato based soup. Definitely needed some spicyness it fell flat without some pepper to the stew The fufu was ok...softer and not as elastically as I like fufu Needs Improvement: service staff!!! They had one waitress that knew what she was doing, a white I think maybe manager that was not managing or training the others and 2-3 other waitresses that acted more like food runners then waitress.. We arrived and was seated quickly..got water ordered in decent time...got one drink then took 15 minutes to get the second drink..then the table in front of us received their appetizer before we got ours but they came in 10 min after we did. Then service went down hill...peanut stew came out...okkk We waited 45 minutes..my food never arrived..asked the waitress..I think she forgot to put my order in... Never received the jollof rice we had ordered She came with the kettle and water bowl for us to wash our hands AFTER we ate...sigh

This establishment was recently remodeled and there was a slight name change from Kalakuta Grill…read more We went there to celebrate two of my friend's birthday. The ambiance was very intimate with a touch of luxury. Most of the area has dim lighting and intentional art pieces showcasing the West African culture. The music selection was also great. This is a great place for large or small groups. The restroom needs paper towel or a door opener though. This is the best service that I have ever gotten at a restaurant. Hewa (our server) went above and beyond to ensure that we were well taken care of. From helping us to choose from the extensive menu, helping us with pictures, etc. The food selection was overwhelming because there was just so much great options to choose from. We were all satisfied with the portion sizes for the money paid. The food was well seasoned and flavorful throughout. I think our least favorite meal was the suya but the wings are the best I have had at a restaurant. The wings were well seasoned and the juicy meat effortlessly came off the bones. My friends also received complimentary birthday cake that was really delicious.

She is super friendly and helpful. Your spice level and reasonable modifications are accommodated. I got the awet combo, which typically has beef, lamb, chicken wing + egg and swapped the lamb for chicken breast. I like my food spicy and my combo did not disappoint. My friend is a fan of the veggie combo. The portions and food quality are a great value for the price. Take what you can't (shouldn't?) finish-the leftovers are dreamy, and finish with a pot of the tea to balance out your meal.

We asked for 1 order (quantity of 2) lentil sambusa for our vegan friend --a non vegan ate the other one-- & 1 order beef for the meat lovers. Both were very flavorful.

Lamb platter ($45) had several of the same vegetables as the other platters. The 5 of us could barely finish the 2 platters. Highly recommend.

Fix this issue, and this place could succeed. Otherwise, I will have to take my business to Ecko.

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
