Have never tried Ethiopian before, but with Mediterranean and Cajun on offer, we figured we'd be able to find something. As it turns out, Ethiopian was what we both got, and we loved it! The place wasn't busy, but wasn't dead, either, at lunch on a Saturday. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and food was ready quickly.

Ordered fried plantains, chicken awaze tibs w/ rice, 3-vegetable platter w/ injera, and a small cup of gumbo. All were fantastic. For novices like us, the awaze was similar to a curry, with an earthy, paprika/chili flavor--and very spicy! Generous portions on the entrees, too; we were full to bursting by the time we left.

This place was so delicious! We traveled two hours just for this restaurant! It’s the best food I’ve ever had. It was hot and fresh, the atmosphere was incredibly inviting and chill and the service was top tier. You get so much food at a reasonable price I left stuffed. If you’re in this area please come to this place, you’ll be so happy you did! Thanks for the amazing experience.

We loved this place! The food was delicious. We tried samplers and shared. Some things were spicy and everything was seasoned to perfection! The server was kind and attentive but not very chatty. The mango juice was heavenly! We will be repeat customers for sure! The atmosphere isn't anything fancy but the it's artwork or the walls and music or TV playing. Thank you! P.S. Get the Sambusa! It's so good!

We were pleasantly surprised by our experience here. The neighborhood and look of the shopping strip it’s located in is hiding a real gem. The service was quick and friendly and the food was just simply fantastic. My wife and I had a later than normal dinner in a Saturday evening here and there weren’t many other diners present when we arrived but during our time there we saw heavy traffic for carry out orders. The menu is unique in that they offer three different sections of foods on their menu, Ethiopian, Mediterranean, and Cajun. I must say that’s a unique mix of offerings. We went specifically for Mediterranean. We ordered the hummus and pita as an appetizer and as soon as we took the first bite we knew we were in for a great meal. The hummus was phenomenal and creamy served with fresh, hot pita bread. For our main meals she ordered the falafel plate and I, the chicken schwarma plate so we could share and try both. We were impressed with both selections. The portions were good for the cost. We will definitely be returning to try more of their menu!
