Delicious, authentic homemade Eritrean and East African food here made by none other than Chef Afewerki Bein himself, and he himself has a fascinating personal story. This place is a must! The food is incredible. Try their chicken sandwich, sambusa, any of their enjera dishes, and their foul (fava bean stew with vegetables and bread). Their tea and coffee are also always consistently perfect. Yes wait time can be a bit longer than your typical eatery/fast casual, but remember the food is fresh, homemade/made from scratch, culturally authentic and made with a lot of heart. Support African, Black and immigrant owned businesses. This is one spot I pray never goes away with increasing gentrification in our Snelling Midway community!
Food was very good ,(authentic ).. owner was really friendly guy. Good parking. Gourmet coffee was excellent!!
Well worth a visit for lunch! The wait was a little long but I've had worse! And the sandwich I ordered was delicious; well-seasoned and spicy chicken (if I had to guess it was a berbere sauce) on a toasted roll with a touch of mayo, tomato, lettuce, and sauteed onions. Totally reasonable for ~$9, and a decent size too.
I was passing through st Paul and decided to stop here for lunch. It was a great decision. I'm glad that I bought from here. Thanks and the food was good. I ate one of their vegetarian dishes. I will always remember their foule.
One of the only places around open late on a Friday night. The food was AMAZING!
Nice and casual place to hangout. You can find nice Food with both American and Eritrean taste. The coffee is great , Tastes like Italian coffee.
Best Eritrean food in the state! I love this place and would frequent when I lived nearby
We stopped here for lateish food on a Saturday around midnight. The man who helped us was kind and friendly and the food was very good. We enjoyed the burger and fries and the gyro.
GREAT FOOD! Wonderful service. He took the time explained the menu and really helped me. I wasn't familiar with all the food. Good portion sizes. Will be back!!!
Wandered in this place around midnight because all other restaurants were closed. Came in with low expectations given the circumstances. Was a little intimidated at first given that the clientele appeared to be solidly Ethiopian-Somali-Eritrean(?) men, and communication was a little difficult with the manager/owner(?)/cook, but had an excellent culinary experience. We got 1 order of the lamb dibs and it was enough to serve two people. Only 14$+ tax. Probably the best Ethiopian I've had. My girlfriend agreed. Not too spicy, which I was grateful for. Found out afterwards that the cook made it especially light on spice given that we were gringos haha. It was much appreciated. Also, we found out they play hand billiards in the back which we thought was pretty awesome. They apparently have a whole billiards space in back which we were not aware of. Admittedly, it's not the vibiest restaurant, but if you want great food in big portions at a reasonable price this is the place to go!
