It was a pleasant experience. The food was exquisite & worth the wait. The service was excellent, especially from our waitress. Would totally recommend to anyone who like exotic food. Edit: I came back here with my mom since I had such a great experience last time. Their ethiopian coffee cocktail was divine, I definitely recommend it. All around great place to eat exotic food.

I judge Ethiopian restaurants by their Kitfo. This one was excellent. Extremely spicy but flavorful. The basic salad was beyond basic flavor-wise. Will be back!

Update: yes I came back, & went with the shared sampler for two & it was more than enough. Fantastic selection - great job on enhancing the menu.

highly recommend the sharing plate which had loads to choose from. Every dish was flavourful & complementary. Do not skip out on the veggie plates because they are just as delicious as the meat ones. The main dishes were flawless. You could skip on the appetizers & cocktails. The decor & ambiance were lovely & service was good.

My husband & I stumbled across this nice Ethiopian restaurant en route back to our hotel. We loved the relaxing & pretty atmosphere both indoors & outdoors, we sat outdoors since the weather was sunny & nice. I told the waitress that Ethiopian cuisine reminds me of Korean Ssam where you use a piece of food (in Korean cuisine it's a sesame or lettuce leaf) to use like a tortilla to make a taco. Ethiopians use a spongey, highly flexible bread to eat everything since their culture traditionally does not use cutlery.

Vegetarians & meat eaters will dig this place! :)
