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.

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.

A nice surprise. It doesn't look much from the exterior but everything there was great. Eritrean restaurant with its vibe, no fancy bell or whistle. The food was great, the service amazing. Will come back for sure!
