Outstanding! Best Ethiopian food I’ve ever had. The Doro Wot (chicken) in the center of the Delux veggie was the perfect combination. Everything was fresh and perfectly seasoned! Super recommended!
Absolutely fantastic food, super delicious. Also vegan options, including the jaw-dropping veg special platter (it's vegan). Warm, homey service. Our meal got a little behind several other tables, lovely chef came out with apologies and treated us to a round of arrack ..delish. Absolutely will return next time in the area!
I stopped in with a friend based on reviews I read on Yelp. If you don’t know where to look, you might miss the place, but what a great find. A quiet little spot with amazing food, a fun friendly welcoming vibe, and a staff that made us feel like family. If you ever want a chill, happy spot for great Ethiopian food, please make the trip.
This place is legit good food. I am no expert on Ethiopian food but this is some of the best I have had in a long time. Check this place out!
I tried Ethiopian food for the first time here tonight and I really enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere. The servers were friendly and sweet. I highly recommend the Lega Tibs. Everything was good though.
The restaurant was very clean and elegant. The owner and bar staff were very friendly and welcoming! The food was cooked to perfection.
Went with a group of three for dinner. We ordered the veggie platter with some tibs. We thoroughly enjoyed the good (as can be seen by the before and after pictures of our plate) and the service was excellent. Would love to come back!
