I was waking down the street from my AirBnB actually looking for Chinese food. I stopped a young couple and they actually said none in the area but pointed out Deset which I had passed a few times. Wonderful Chicken Tiba dish and salad.. I was in the back by the stand where they poured on the incense which I Love but many people may not enjoy the heavy smoke from the burning. I had no issue. Would definitely come back on my next trip!
Not only great food, but a wonderful service. I was picking up food to take to a friend who was having a rough time. The portions were incredible - we each got two meals from one meat platter (for 2). The owner is really patient and kind. All that plus yummy food, what else can you want?!
Place to eat good Ethiopian Coffee. At this place you can come and check out Sunday coffee ceremony by me
