We visited this authentic Ethiopian restaurant and found that food was okish. Wheatish pancake was served in a huge plate with multiple gravies. I felt that the Injura(pancake) was cold and sour. The side dishes were good. … More
Yum yum yum. Our daughter's best friend who is Ethiopian had been our house guest for a week and we promised to go out for Ethiopian food so here we are. We ordered the vegetarian combo plate with chicken, lamb and beef side orders. Injera was delicious and so was everything on the platter. Will definitely go back. … More
Food - We felt the taste was average. Have had much more flavorful Ethiopian food earlier. Service - For a Saturday afternoon, with not so full restaurant, the service was extremely slow. Took a loong time for the food to come out. The staff seemed busy with onione orders coming through and didn't check upon us much. Ambience - The interiors of the restaurant gives a nice rustic feel
