So they substituted something else. The injira bread was light and thin, perfect. Delicious and filling. If you are interested in coffee, try their Cafe Gourmond which includes three little desserts with the coffee for only a euro more than one dessert. Vegan and vegetarian both. Warning. The neat dishes are very spicy.

Parking would be sorta easy to find, and the decor highlights the natural beauty of Eritrea, in a small mom/pop shop style. Extremely homey and cozy feel with attentive hospitality.

We turned down some small quiet streets and came upon this place. ETHIOPIAN! I love Ethiopian and was so happy to find this place. There were many people coming and going to purchase their coffee beans, so the coffee must be good, but I didn't try it, unfortunately. We sat and ordered our platter from the daily specials. The lentil salad was excellent as was the spicy beef dish. Their injera is made fresh daily and it's definitely delicious. Overall, a very nice place. Not expensive, not fancy. Just good food.
