Jessica D.

This was my first time here and my first time eating Ethiopian food. The service was good, but the waitress seemed like she was just there for the check, but not to make it a great experience. The food was ready fast and it was fresh and the right temperature. Everything was amazing and perfectly seasoned. The price was good, not too expensive. I truly loved the whole meal and will definitely return.

This place is amazing. Worth the drive from Chandler! Ethiopian is not well known but should be. North African spices and slow cooked meats and vegetables. This food is vegetarian friendly but serves meat too. This food is very healthy too promoting gut health and heart health. Enjoy!
