This place is excellent! The food was delicious, good portion sized, and the service was great. The prices are very fair- actually cheaper than the other Ethiopian restaurants nearby. The Ethiopian food is some of the best I’ve had anywhere else - and I’ve traveled to 42 countries. The restaurant is small and cozy. The layout and the decor is very authentic. The lady there is actually Ethiopian, so you will get your true Ethiopian flavors and spices. Highly recommend! We liked it so much we went 2 nights in a row! 😀 I got the key wot, my husband got the Kitfo.

The two women who served us were wonderful and the food was delicious! We ordered the shareable meat sample plate and one other dish between four people and it was plenty of food. Cheap beers made the experience that much better. Will definitely return!

Vert flavourful sauce (I had the doro wot). Slightly spicy sauce with a chicken leg and an egg. The bread was a little too much compared to the amount of sauce but the flavours were great and the owner was nice and welcoming. Would come again here!
