Can I really not give 10 stars? My God, they would deserve every one. Every bite was devine. Hard to explain the joy of having amazingly tart injira, perfectly spiced vegetables, and delectable lentils. Can't wait to go back! Best find of the year.

I’ve eaten a lot of Ethiopian food, and this might have been the best! Veggie combo + beef ribs ???????????? no frills decor and water in solo cups, only 5 things on the menu. It was perfect …

Amazing food! We ordered from here for NYE dinner and we could not have been happier with the food. Some members of my family had never tried Ethiopian food before and they loved it too. Will definitely be ordering again!

I've been to this place many times and love it. I've tried quite a bit of the menu but my favorite by far is the veggie platter. Everything is bursting with flavor. The service is great as well. Love this place.

The best Ethiopian Restaurant in the bay. U want a real ethinic home cooked meal? eat where the natives eat, that explains over 80% of their customers are Ethiopian, unlike Zeni or Walia. Very reasonable infact cheap compare to others yet you get a home cooked meal. Some let the ambiance fool you, it is a gem hidden a hole in wall

Pretty small and decor is a bit tired, but food is legit good Ethiopian and the service is fast and friendly. Good food wins over pretty objects hanging on the wall any day with me. Make sure to get your food with Injera (the pancake like thing)

Amazing Ethiopian food. Just food. Not very good at ambiance. But full marks for food. A tad bit spicy but that's how Ethiopian food is made. See lots of locals eating here. Had veggie combo and loved it. My friend ordered chicken tbis and loved it too.

Such a hidden gem! I first came here during the pandemic, and I recently came back when I was in the area and the food is still just as good as I remember. My go-to is their vegetarian plate. Everything is perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the portions are generous. Peruse their menu, as they have so many other delicious options! This is a family run restaurant, and the care and quality really shines through in their service and consistency. When you visit, you'll find lots of regulars - always a good sign and speaks to a sense of community here. Support your local business - you'll be a fan too :)
