This is the best Ethiopian food I've had in the US. For reference I have eaten Ethiopian food in Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta, St. Louis, Sioux Falls, DC (another restaurant), LA, and Seattle. This is the closest I've had to the Ethiopian food I ate in Ethiopia. It makes me feel like someone dropped me off in Debark or Axum. Really makes me remember my time in Ethiopia fondly. No wonder this place is called habesha. Prices are more reasonable and you can customize your beyaynetu easily which is rare at most Ethiopian places. Can't recommend enough! Vegetarian options: Ethiopian is fantastic for veggie and vegan options and authentic injera is gluten free. In the US some places use gluten based grains because teff is really expensive here so be sure to ask to be safe if you have a gluten allergy. I'm vegetarian and it's one of my go to cuisines always best to get the platter as you can try everything and it's the most authentic to be sharing a platter with others.

This is a wonderful restaurant and small but well stocked Ethiopian market. I am a huge fan of their vegetarian/vegan sampler platter. There are a lot of vegetarian and vegan options available without needing to make special requests/alter the preparation which is great for those with dietary restrictions. In addition, they have gluten free injera for takeaway and with your meal. This isn’t a restaurant to go to for the IG aesthetic but the inside is spacious and clean. I usually order take out at the counter and hang out while it’s made. I enjoy perusing the Ethiopian grocery section during this time. Everyone at the store is friendly, and the food is ready quickly. The portions are generous for a very fair price.

Such great food and service!! Perfect for anyone that is vegan and/or gluten free, as they have a wide array of delicious plant-based stews and even gluten-free Injera if you request it (although it costs extra). Have been here twice already and plan to keep coming back. Vegetarian options: Great plant-based options
