Emma Habesha Restaurant

Emma was an amazing host and this was one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. She took the time to explain the menu in detail and asked what kinds of flavors and textures we preferred before giving recommendations. The food came out delicious and out of the handful of times I've tried Ethiopian cuisine, her cooking tasted the most authentic and was incredibly flavorful. We also wanted to visit her specifically for an authentic Ethiopian coffee experience and she did not disappoint. Emma really went above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable for us and even went out of her way to teach us about the culture and shared community aspect behind dining with friends and family. After we finished eating, she brought out the coffee beans in a roasting pan for us to smell. After brewing the coffee, she even joined us to explain the traditions and etiquette of enjoying coffee as a group, and overall was incredibly welcoming and friendly. It was a wonderful experience le

Great food and the ambiance of the place is really amazing.It is my first time eating Ethiopian food and definitely we will come back in this place with my classmates.Emma the owner is really kind and she even introduced the food that we are eating.

Tried the meat combo here last week while in town and although very reasonably priced, unfortunately it was one of the most bland Ethiopian restaurants that I have ever been to. They were out of the raw dishes which I felt could have possibly saved them as they're typically spicy, acidic and more flavorful? ???? The chicken egg dish and the lamb were the best. Actually had to add salt to everything, which I've never had to do at an Ethiopian restaurant. The other chicken entree was a somewhat indiscernable brownish grey mush. Injera, cabbage, salad and greens were bland as well. Service was friendly and the restaurant was nice and clean though. Maybe flavor is due to the the region for this particular Ethiopian cuisine? Not sure, unfortunately I wasn't impressed though and I've been to numerous Ethiopian restaurants.
