My wife and I decided to share a late afternoon snack at The Tase of Co go when we went to the Spice Bridge. The Spice Bridge has up to 4 different restaurants inside their Global Food Hall. Today, we were lucky to experience the Taste of Congo. I know that I ordered some "not too adventurous" foods, and it was amazing. The Beef Stew was incredibly flavored. I know it was probably toned down for the average American, but sooo delicious. The meat was tender and spiced. The fufu was great, and I got to eat with my hands while my wife looked on in aghast... she used a spoon. The beignets were delicious! I say were because they are always gone so quickly!

I liked the kwanga a lot better than pounded cassava fufu I have had from other restaurants: it had more flavor (a slight tang), and was less sticky. The pondu was good too! I took my food to go, but there are tables inside that you can eat at.

Welcome to one of the businesses at the NEW Spice Bridge Food Hall in Tukwila…read more WUHA Ethiopian has one of my favorite African foods - injera bread, aka spongy bread. They serve them in a roll version vs. what you typically see in a restaurant with different dollops of food on the spongy bread. Generous spread of sauce and veggies fill the bread, rolled up, and ready to eat. It was perfect and delicious too! We also bought a baklava without nuts. When we were there, only one person seems to be working, but it was in the middle of the afternoon when it wasn't too busy. She prepped our food and was our cashier too. She was a very kind and sweet lady, and was extra appreciative that we drove half an hour to buy from them. This Food Hall strive to support refugees and immigrants by offering kitchens and retail spaces for them to start a small business. Currently, 8 businesses are sharing time and use of the facilities, 3 days each per week with Mondays closed. Check the Spice Bridge website for details. This new hall is very clean and well organized. There are plenty of signs/menus to guide you on your food adventure. There are also plenty of hand sanitizer! Dining is available at the outside seats/benches.

The goat was flavorful and tender, and came on a mountain of perfectly cooked and seasoned rice. They also provided hot sauce and a lemon wedge. Others in my party got the chicken suqaar plates, and enjoyed their meals too. We all were obsessed with the bisbaas/basbaas (green hot sauce) that came with our meal, and I really liked the dynamic flavors in the food. Pricing is a little high, but the amount of food you get is generous. I'd definitely come back again and will plan to take leftovers home or share an entree.

First time trying Kenyan food and I'm super happy I came to Rafiki restaurant!…read more The service was great, I was helped by Tracy and she was so sweet, made great recommendations and was very attentive. The samosas were served with lime which I've never had before, in the past I usually get sauces, but the lime went great with them! The beef stew was packed with flavor. And don't get me started on the collard greens (I ate them up) The ugali didn't have much of a flavor but I'm assuming that's the point. It soaked up the sauce of the beef stew perfectly. I loved the chewy texture as well. I will definitely be coming back!

I have been looking for a consistently good Ethiopian place while being in WA state, and it has…read morebeen a challenge for logistical and practical reasons on top of going to a few places that were nothing special. I was pretty skeptical about this place, especially because it looks like a a bar from the pictures on Yelp, and I have been to multiple places that look similar, and were abysmal. Decided to take a chance and give this place a visit. There is a good amount of parking outside the place, and it is not the most obvious looking restaurant. Once you find it, it is a large room that looks like a bar in the distance and plenty of seating in the periphery of the building. There was one server who was stretched thin in terms of tasks, so it was not always easy getting their attention without walking up to the bar. Despite that, service was friendly and nothing to complain about. The food selection is what you would find at most Ethiopian places including Tibs, Kifto, Wats (including Doro Wat), and multiple different meat and vegetarian combos. I decided to get raw kitfo, because I drool at places that make this dish. Not only was it spicy like I wanted, the seasoning and flavour is actually one of the best I have ever had. Literally, one of the top places I have ever had Kitfo in my life, and I have been to many Ethiopian restaurants. Prices are about $25-$35 per person, so I it is definitely not on the cheaper side. Dishes are served with teff flour-made injera which you use to scoop up food and melt in all of its glory. Give this place a visit

I order the vegetarian combo which is a HUGE portion, enough for two meals, and everything is always fresh and perfectly seasoned. The Yemiser Wot is my favorite, so rich and spicy.

It might be the location, but honestly the food deserves way more customers, everything was fantastic. We ordered the Meat Combo, which came with Kitfo and Ayeb, Key Wot, Alicha Wot, and Gomen Besiga. The Kitfo, an Ethiopian-style steak tartare seasoned with coriander, mitmita (hot chili powder), and herbed butter, was incredibly flavorful. Most of the meats leaned on the spicy side, but when you mixed them with the veggies and injera, everything balanced out perfectly. My favorite was the Key Wot, a spicy stew of slow-cooked beef with onions, garlic, cardamom (korerima), berbere, and Ethiopian herbal butter. My second favorite was the Gomen Besiga, made with boiled beef cubes flavored with spices, onions, and garlic. The texture was surprisingly tender, almost like fish. We also got the House Combo, which includes a mix of meats and vegetables. It only comes with two meats, but it's a great option for first-timers because you get to try a wider variety of flavors. The waitress was very helpful and thoughtful, taking the time to explain each dish to us. And bonus, they have some parking available, which is super convenient. Overall, the food was amazing, and I really hope more people discover this local gem.

We were welcomed with open arms and promptly greeted and shown our seats. Just minutes after we received the menu they surprised us with a complimentary appetizer- Sombusa and Somali Tea which was really good and it was all on the house!!! The entire place was sparkling clean, modern and oh so comfortable. The food was beyond delicious we decided to go all out and ordered the family plate with rice and pasta and it came with four different types of meats.
