This is my favorite Ethiopian restaurant ever - it is like stepping into a friendly home kitchen with incredible service, delicious meals for all dietary restrictions and needs, and super friendly staff. I have been coming here for years and have never once had a bad experience. The Sambussa's are packed with flavor and crispy dough, and the vegetarian platter is a great sampling of all their veg options for a great value.

This is the best Ethiopian food I've had in the valley. Everything was flavorful and the injera was soft and fluffy. My family greatly enjoyed it

This is my favorite Ethiopian restaurant. I’ve tried others but this one is excellent. The owners are nice and the prices are great. I highly recommend.

Delicious food, family owned and operated, and just a unique experience hands down. Had dinner once before and was just nearby the area today so I decided to stop by for lunch. Your tastebuds will thank you.

Our favorite Ethiopian restaurant in Arizona. Good food. Fantastic lemon dressing on the salad. Nice people. Highly recommended!

Your tongue will be in for r real treat.Throats experience gentle heat as the warm embrace extends throughout your body,Opening the lungs and making it easier to smile.Food prepared with love and spices brought in from afar, what are you waiting for.Veggie lovers try the Defen Misir ( Whole lentils ) the berbere is my favorite kinda heat. Even added much more on top.

Very good service and the owners are very beautiful people the food was so amazing

What a wonderful ? gem.This family owned restaurant was clean, well lit, comfortable, and offered both traditional and American styled seating. The food was fantastic. My friend grew up eating Ethiopian food, and this was his 2nd time in one week. The drink was served in the traditional glass, and my table was very impressed with the smoothness of the flavors. Staff were wearing face coverings, and were professional and friendly. If you've never tried it, give it a go. Don't be afraid or intimidated. They can answer all of your questions.

This is a great and cozy restaurant!! I ordered take out from them and when I went in the staff was so kind and friendly. I have never had Ethiopian food before, but thought I would try something new, and this great establishment did not disappoint at all! I ordered the meat and veggie sampler, meat sambusa, and veggie sambusa (for those who do not know what sambusa is...Like myself up until I ordered it...it is basically a small triangular baked pastry filled with lentils, spices, and meat and/or veggies). They are absolutely delicious! They also come with a hot sauce that has a kick to it, but it is a very flavorful kick. Absolutely delicious food at this place, and as I said such a welcoming and friendly staff. This is definitely a hidden gem of Phoenix and I will go back very soon! They do accept credit/debit cards, and they do also have a full bar inside. Thank you Gojo!

It’s top tier Ethiopian food, it’s like moms best Ethiopian meals if you had it at home, if you haven’t then this is the place to go.
