look, this is no fine dining restaurant and so you should not expect a fancy interior or “impeccable service.” this is a homely establishment for ethiopian/eritrean food with - excellent value for money ($25 is more than enough for two) - a fun style of eating for something casual - GOOD FOOD. period.
This is one of my favorite places when it comes to perfect breakfast places, the food was so fresh and tasty, service was on point, the only thing was, the parking is a pain. I highly recommend this place.
Authentic delicious Eritrean / Ethiopian food! Everyone who works here is so sweet and it felt super homey. I loved the food I ordered and would be great to share with a few people. The food is extremely affordable and you could easily go here with a 4+ people without worrying about a long wait. Went here for lunch on a week day and the service was fast. Will definitely be back for dinner with some friends! Vegetarian options: So many veg options! Kid-friendliness: Could easily come here with kids!
