Nakfa offers authentic Eritrean and Ethiopian cuisine with generous portions and bold, well balanced flavors. The menu highlights vegetarian options and meat dishes, with injera that is gluten free and has a pleasant fermented note. Diners praise warm, friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere, and many call it a must try with good value for money. Some reviews mention a small space and occasional wait times, and one report notes food poisoning, reminding that experiences can vary. Overall, the experience is described as authentic and transportive, with consistent quality and plenty of reasons to return.
The food was really good, but the injera is stickier & thicker than what I'm used to. They also sell injera, berbere, & shiro paste! Would be nice if they played Ethiopian music instead of a talk show

The food was tasty. I'm a huge fan of Ethiopian food! I did find it quite salty compared to other places I've been & there were only 2 stew options for the vegan dish. It would be nice if there was a couple more stews that came with the order as to have some variety.

Four of us went to Nakfa for dinner tonight. The restaurant is unpretentious with informative, friendly & helpful service from the son of the owners We ordered a meat platter & a vegetarian platter for the four of us to share. The food was delicious, varied & in generous portions, reasonably priced.
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.
Truly a gem in the city. The owners care so wholeheartedly about sharing their food with the city & it is a treasure. The meat & veggies platter with the Injera is an absolute must try! Everything is delicious, service is impeccable, & more than fairly priced.
