Eritrean & Ethiopian food are my favorite types of food. I'm from Minneapolis & since moving away I've found it very difficult to find anything remotely as good (& for a good price) as what I could get back home. This is the first time in 12 years that I've found a comparable place. I'm so pleased. This food is phenomenal, & very fairly priced. The injera is all gluten free & has that lovely fermented taste. Everything was perfect. I can't wait to eat here again.

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.

Best Eritrean food I've had in a long time. The portions were generous, the service was phenomenal, & the place had a very authentic feel overall. The owner was also incredibly sweet & did his best to accommodate our large group. Can't recommend it enough.
