It’s been awhile since I’ve had Ethiopian and I’m so glad I made it here. We ordered the combination of 10 items and it was more than enough food for 2 people! I loved the lentils and cabbage, and the injera was delicious. This is definitely feel-good food.

My favorite restaurant in the world, actually. The food is excellent, the people are wonderful, and the atmosphere so rich, yet so peaceful. I like their vegetable gomen dish (made of collards or kale) VERY much, their unique Tofu Dish, and love their 100% Teff grain Injera, and thus Gluten Free, also. This is a vegan restaurant yet fine for non-vegans (such as myself). I have to admit, I'm tunnel visioned and only and every time order their Gomen (collards-kale dish), Tofu-Dish, and 100% Teff grain Injera (like large crepes, a type of flatbread, but very amazing, and you must tear pieces of the Injera and then grab the food using the Injera thus making small sushi-like bites. The juices mix with the (sour/fermented like sour dough bred, but more so) Injera and the combined taste makes the sour, less sour, and adds amazing taste aspect with the food that you enclose and pickup with the injera pieces. They also offer more bland, less sour, mixed grain Injera pancakes. Again, it's really worth having them explain how to eat the food, if you've never learned. Rahels!!! Again, my favorite restaurant, period!

Awesome all-vegan Ethiopian restaurant. Fluffy injera bread dipped with vegetables, lentils, beans

This was my first time experiencing authentic Ethiopian food and I was not disappointed! Just wow! The food was all prepared fresh -- we could hear the vegetables being chopped in the back. We ordered the "feast" which consisted of 11 different items. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. I loved all of the vegan themed messages around the restaurant, too.

Cute place with delicious food. We ordered the sambussas and foul (fava bean dish) with injera and both were great! We also enjoyed the drinks. I got the 3D (mixed blends of the other 3 drinks: flax seed, barely I think and one other) which was tasted like a healthy cereal shake or something. My husband got the ethiopian coffee which has a fruity, chocolatey taste. We got the mango cake for dessert was fine, kind of has almost a pineapple flavor. Not my favorite but worth a try if it's your thing! A very homemade taste and texture with fluffy icing and sliced almonds. We really enjoyed dining here!

My husband and I travel the world for work and always look for Ethiopian food wherever we go.This was our least favorite so far which was quite disappointing because it’s fully vegan which I liked.The gluten free injera was good but the rest of the food we got wasn’t.The flavors were just off.

Wonderful food. Rich in flavorThe ginger tea is incredible

We will definitely come back anytime we're in L.A
