Hands down the best Ethiopian food in the city. The doro wot had real depth and the injera was fresh and soft. We cleaned the whole platter.

A vegetarian combo worth the trip

The veggie combo is huge and every scoop tastes different — the gomen and misir were my favorites. Warm, welcoming staff and great music, too.

Sizzling tibs and a great bar

The tibs came out sizzling and the kitfo was perfect. Great vibe, great bar, and they take their time to get the food right. We'll be back.
