This place is one of the most consistently delicious places I visit. I usually stop in about once a month, and the food is always so good, regardless of what dish I get. I have tried all of their combination platters, which has allowed me to taste most of the dishes they offer. The ambiance is okay, not really romantic, but still nice for a date or family/friends get together. They can accommodate large groups. They do get very packed on the weekends. They also have a separate bar upstairs that has a bit of a speak easy vibe.

The food is great and spicy.They are also open late and have free WiFi. Some of the staff are amazing, however some may have trouble speaking fluent English.My top Ethiopian place to go to.

Placed an order with uber Eats. Order said it would be 30 minutes. 1 1/2 later out order arrived with half of the meal missing. Called and spoke with the restaurant and they told me I could order another car to pick up the food. Offered no solution, blamed it on uber. Super disappointing. Plus the food was cold.
