Takeout experience:I called in my order and went to pick it up.Food:Flavorful, but not the best quality meat used, and little quantities of the vegetable side that comes with the Tibs plate.We tried the (the best) chicken(yedoro) tibs, beef ribs (very chewy and dry we had to throw away), and lamb tibs. I thought the beef tibs would have jalapeño in it, but I didn’t see it. I only saw rosemary, tomato and onion.Very good injera bread, and I like how they wrapped the food in injera bread for takeout too.Service:The service was not up my expectations for a takeout order. The service was slow (Both ladies were not the nicest , and slightly dismissive with micro aggressions, and had us waiting in an empty restaurant before being greeted for a long time, more than once)

Great food. Great place. The food is excellent. I am a very picky eater and they have exactly what I was looking.. Delicious, well seasoned food will have you coming back for more and more. The have food for vegetarians and meat eaters.

Amazing Ethiopian fare. Great for vegan dishes. Make sure to get a coffee!

Love this restaurant!!! Great Ethiopian food and nice people!!! I have been several times and will continue to go back to this location!!!

Great food and customer service. I have eaten here several times and love the family owned environment. I definitely recommend this Ethiopian restaurant.

The food is here is the best Ethiopian I’ve ever had. Really tasty meat, flavorful vegetable feast, and fluffy light injera bread. The food portions are very large for the price. We will definitely be back!

So this was my first time having Ethiopian food. Good Lord this was absolutely DELICIOUS!! So many different flavors and textures. I've been wanting to try this place out for a while and finally had the opportunity to do so. I can absolutely say I will be back sooner than later. Mom and pop feel in a quaint dining room setting. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.

So amazing!! Vegetarian feast option with injera was delicious! Abugida feast with tender beef and just beautiful spices. Lentil yemisir sambusa - crispy exterior, tender filling. Fantastic customer service, friendly atmosphere, very reasonable prices and definitely a place we plan to return! ❤️

Excellent food and the nicest people you will find. We had the feast with beef. And, coffee afterwards. Not fancy, delicious food.

I love this restaurant. The ladies I've dealt with have always been warm and friendly and patient with questions. They make you feel like family. The food is amazing, with many delicious vegan options. I have tried other Ethiopian restaurants but Abugida is the best by a mile. Always look forward to going back.
