Delicious food and great ambiance!

Please, please come here. Getahun is so sweet and welcoming, please don’t let your inexperience scare you. You will be welcomed whole heartedly with smiles and amazing service. The love and pride this restaurant has for its food and culture is mouth wateringly palpable in every bite. I am so so happy with everything we had. Get the honey wine made in house. Try some Ethiopian beers and sit inside for a tour of Ethiopia akin to flying there. Much better than a 22 hour flight. I’ll see you here soon.

Warm colors, a cozy decor, and mellow jazz greet you when you walk through the door. We got the Lamb Wot. The sides are so rich and bold but not overpowering in any way. It's the berbere spices. They are ridiculously delicious. Kind staff, quiet dining, wonderful for a date. Plus, you get to eat with your hands. And of course, the food is gone except for some injera flatbread.

Traditional Ethiopian spot with authentic dishes. Came here with a couple of friends on a Sunday around 6pm with no reservations and we did get a table within 5 minutes. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Credit cards are accepted. Dogs are allowed outside. There’s single occupant restrooms available in the back center of the restroom. They do serve alcohol, including cocktails. It took a little over an hour for the food to come out, so factor that into your dining time. You may consider getting appetizers so that you have stuff to munch on while you wait. The food came out fresh and as they were all stewed, you could really taste the flavors. The injera that accompanied it was very soft and it was fun to eat with our hands. Overall, it was a unique dining experience with good food.

The feel and vibe of the restaurant is very on point. They did an excellent job with the design, decor and lighting. Casual and warm. Fine for a date or a quiet meal.Food was very good, underspiced for my tastes but I like heavily seasoned Ethiopian food.The Sambussa appetizer was excellent. Pastry was well executed, the filling was savory and the accompanying sauce was piquantly appropriate.We had the 'Messob Combo' as it was my daughter's first time eating Ethiopian food. More than enough for two. Some of the flavors were a bit too identical for my taste. But we enjoyed it all.Service was brief, almost perfunctory and minimal. The food took quite some time to come out but the restaurant was busy. But it should have been faster.I'll certainly return as my 'complaints' are trivial. We absolutely enjoyed the meal here. I think most would.

It was a great dining experience!

I've been going here every single year for my birthday. I love it! It's flavorful, quick, and the service is always attentive. I usually order the vegetarian combination, some honey wine, and traditional coffee. So lovely, filling, and delicious.

Super good! I do wish the gluten free injera was labeled on the menu as I did not realize it was a whole $12. Otherwise, super good food and highly recommend their honey wine!

Friendly, helpful service. Comfortable dining. The food was great. It was very flavorful and prepared and served well. We got a sampler plate….the lamb was our favorite. We had three small children with us, and they were quite accommodating to the children’s requests. We’ll be back.
