I visited Restaurant Nakfa last weekend for a quiet dinner & was pleasantly surprised by the overall quality of the meal. The atmosphere is quite relaxed, making it a good spot for a casual conversation without having to shout over loud music. The waitstaff was attentive & kept our water glasses filled throughout the night. I found the flavors to be authentic & well-balanced, which is exactly what I was looking for. I will certainly be returning to try some of the other dishes on the menu soon.

A wonderful experience for those who enjoy discovering new cultures through food. Everything was delicious, authentic, & full of flavor. The traditional Eritrean dishes were fantastic, & I must come back to try the coffee ceremony. Highly recommended!

We came for dinner with our three daughters & loved the experience. The food was excellent, & the service was warm & welcoming. We ordered two combination meals with vegetable & meat dishes, & every bite was full of flavor. I called to make reservations ahead of time, but it wasn't really necessary. Communication was friendly & efficient. We'll definitely return & highly recommend it.

Absolutely amazing. A must-try Ethiopian/Erythrean restaurant. I had a combination of 6 meat & vegetable dishes on top of a large piece of injera, & every single dish was tasty, generous & well seasoned. It all paired perfectly with the injera. They also gave me some spicy powder to dip the food in, & it brought everything to the next level.

Although the meal was a bit pricy for one person (around $40), I left full & happy. The whole experience felt like I was travelling to another country.

I never leave reviews but I have been obsessed with this restaurant & its incredible food & lovely cook/owners. I have been driving from 5 hrs away & going back home with multiple meals because the food is seriously that good. The dishes are perfectly spiced & freshly made. The owners are so kind & hard working & flexible. I can't say enough about the opportunity to get to eat their food.
