The waitress was kind and very helpful. She explained the dishes and even hand-served the buffet to me. The inside had tvs to watch the euro cup and the mint chairs were comfy. I enjoyed the buffet and the vegetable combo was delightful. The only thing that wasn't for me was the tea. It tasted like a fireball shot without the alcohol. If you like sweet things, then I would recommend. Overall nice experience and I will be bringing friends and family again for sure!

Having the same meal, we got the taste of ethiopia, which had three meat options and four different vegetable options. All of it was delicious except the Shiro, which was bland. I want to commend them for excellent customer service. An older homeless woman stumbled into the restaurant and our server gave her a cup of tea and just let her sit in the back corner of the restaurant as she rested. We weren't bothered by it. She wasn't bothering anyone, but it was just the fact of their kindness cause it was a cold day.

Love this place. Delicious Ethiopian food…read more On my trip to Dallas I brought relatives one night and a friend the second night. Neither had Ethiopian food before and loved it. We ordered the vegetarian combo both times. A great assortment of lentils and veggies. The spongy bread that they make is gluten-free by the way: Injera is a sour fermented pancake-like flatbread with a slightly spongy texture, traditionally made of teff flour. In Ethiopia, Eritrea, and some parts of Sudan, injera is the staple. Injera is central to the dining process, like bread or rice elsewhere. The presentation was lovely and the ambiance simple but nice. Our server PJ was great. Super friendly. And it was popular with Ethiopian locals which is a good sign.

The lunch Veggie Combo came with Shiro which is generous. The beets, lentils (Misir Wot) and yellow split peas (Kik Alicha) were so deliciously spiced and balanced. Something special is going on here. They brought out a beautiful floral milk cake surrounded by rose petals and played Happy Birthday for the birthday girl on their sound system. So sweet! If I found myself in Dallas again I'd come back for the warming spices and warmer welcome. Ooh, and order the coffee service!

There were quite a few things that were a little spicy on this plate but that yellow stuff had my eyes and nose running. The flavors are pretty good and the injera was really good. They give you a lot of it. I'd say for the price, it is absolutely worth it. That one plate could have easily fed two people. I wanted to try this place because of the raving reviews and it's close to my house. While it did not disappoint, there are other places in DFW that are better.

Great tasting coffee and interesting food items that you may not find at other cafes. We were there for coffee so did not have a chance to eat anything. The coffee is local led roasted and this establishment is women-owned. I liked that it was not overly acidic and had a smooth finish on my cafe latte. We were greeted on arrival and ordered iced coffee. There was something wrong with the machine so I could not order regular coffee. But, after sitting in the shop for about ten minutes, the barista invited me to place my order because the machine was working. Comfortable seating and bright lighting inside allows for some quiet space to work or relax. Loved the decor!

We rolled in around 7 and were met with disco lights and semi-awkward stares. After figuring out we could sit anywhere, a very nice server came to make us feel welcome and take our orders. Ambiance is nice. It feels like a cross between a night club and a restaurant. There are big tvs on the walls showing soccer and football games, there's a patio outside. The important thing is the food. Daaaaang, it's delicious! We ordered the meat and vegetable combo for my date and I. Whether it was a communication error or because my date and I pass as pale, we asked for spicy but it wasn't as hot as other Ethiopian places we'd been to. Still, the meal was great, and they even brought us extra injera when they noticed we were running low. Overall a good experience and would certainly recommend.

The menu is simplistic with no fancy flavors or styles, but I can honestly say this was one of the best cups of coffee I've ever had. I ordered a hot macchiato that came out to $5 (a steal in today's economy). It came out fresh, hot, and accompanied with raw sugar to add as needed. The coffee was smooth yet rich and very nice for a Sunday sip! While I can't speak to the taste of the food itself, I can say that it smelled absolutely delicious even in my short time there. I will definitely be back & can provide an updated review at that time!
