The food is fantastic. We had Kitfo (my favorite) & Lamb with Berbere spices. The ambiance is wonderful & the staff is very attentive to your needs.
The best Ethiopian restaurant we have ever been to (we have been to many, & always come back to here......)

My daughter & I celebrated her 19th birthday at the restaurant. She has a vegan tasting menu & I had the kitfo tartare. The last time I was here was 10 years ago, & the quality of the food is just as good now as it was then!

Food & drinks were excellent! Servers were very nice, but not enough staff, so service was a quite slow. We had the two courses tasting which was a great way to try multiple dishes, & the portions were generous. Would definitely recommend it.

Really nice food (be ready to eat with your hands); priced right. I generally have the sharing platter, & either wine (well-priced) or one of their lovely cocktails (many have a special ingredient) however a nice beer also fits, or some Ethiopian tea. Relaxing atmosphere, & relaxed environment - with attentive service. Some dishes are spicier than others - not a problem for most, however if it is a concern do be sure to inquire.

Brilliant as always. Been there more than a few time over the course of 20 years, & it's consistently amazing.

One of the many gems in the plateau, this place offer a unique experience, gorgeous ambiance & great service.

Their menu offers something for everyone; delicious meat dishes & plenty of vegan/vegetarian options that will please everyone at the table. Can't say enough good things about this place.
