Had a great experience here!Highly recommended.The atmosphere here is very welcoming with an open floor plan, nice artwork and what seems to be a stage for live performances (would definitely come back for that). From the door host to the servers down to the cook, everyone was attentive, helpful and nice.Most importantly, the food was DELICIOUS! The portions are worth the price point. I started with lentil sambusas. Followed by, makeda tibs with jasmine rice. Along with the veggie combo, however I had double portions of the red lentils, cabbage and string beans, instead of the single six options listed.One unique element about this visit is I was asked if I want injera from here (the US) or...

Loved this Ethiopian restaurant. A friend and I decided to try this place out after looking at the many reviews, and we were not disappointed! The food was delicious and cooked to perfection! I would say my favorite of the choices we got was the Awaze Tibs. It's strips of lamb sautéed with onions and peppers. Everything else was great, but the highlight of the meal was definitely the lamb. The environment was very nice and clean. It's a lot bigger inside than what the outside of the restaurant looks like. It's very modern and clean. As for the service, I think the staff could've been a little bit more attentive with water refills, but overall the experience was not bad at all. I'd highly rec...
I would love this restaurant more of it wasn't located in such an awful plaza.The food is authentic, and all the serving staff are extremely kind and genuine. If you do go, please tip in cash as I've heard of the owners deducting more tips than needed from their service staff. They have live music towards the end of the week and their bar is good! Drinks are decently priced. I only wish some of the dishes were cheaper because I would eat there more often. I definitely recommend eating here if you're interested in exploring new cuisines.Vegetarian options: Very vegan and veggie friendly cuisine!
It’s a Great Ethiopian American Restaurant with experience of consistency. The food is so delicious — you want to go back again and again. I’d recommend “Makda special tibs” and “veggie combo”. If you are Ethiopian American and or Eretrian American or other…… And would like to test both countries origin of food, this is the place. The owner and the waitresses are very humble and intuitive. A text book of customer service experience. Book a table now
The food was very good and so was the honey wine but they cater more to their own people (Ethiopian) If you’re not Ethiopian your service may not be as great! I tried to get the waitress/bartender attention a few times and no response, she ignored me. I had to get someone’s attention before I could get my order taken. When others came to sit down at the bar that was Ethiopian, they received quicker service.
I ordered takeout through Uber eats. It was the first time I ever tried this place. The food was absolutely delicious, and the portions of the food and the injera were generous. Super positive experience, and I plan on showing up in person very soon. If I can't show up in person I will order delivery again. They set the bar high, so I hope I get the same stuff the next time.
A friend and I shared Assa Goulash (salmon) and Awaze Tibs (lamb). They were both wonderfully aromatic and deliciously spicy. I'm not a big fan of injera, so I was really happy that I could order rice as my side. Our server, Ferewine, helped us choose although I'm sure anything we would have ordered would have been a good choice.
The food at this restaurant is absolutely delicious. I highly recommend trying the tuna kitfo, as it has a wonderful flavor and is very tender. The kitfo is not too heavy and is easy on the stomach. My favorite way to enjoy it is with a side of mitmita. This review comes from a 9 year old. Book a table now
