This was the first Ethiopan resturant I ever went to, and I'm hooked. This place is super good. I love the vegetarian options. They also have plenty of meat options like lamb.

I've been eating here for quite some time but, I had to cut back once I learned I was allergic to wheat (the key ingredient in enjera).
When I shared my problem with the owners they told me not to worry and offer to make me enjer made from tef. The food here is excellent and well worth the wait.If you're in a hurry simply call ahead to order and your meal will be ready upon your arrival !

I often try out new places with friends, and I find the food here VERY VERY DELICIOUS. And I do not even care too much for ethiopian food.
They serve a lot of interesting dishes and most of those I've tried (I've been there four times already just for this month!) are really really good.
They would need to expand soon. Most of the times I was there, the place was packed. You need to wait to be seated and then you find yourself in a cramped space.
Pros: Good food
Cons: cramped space

Friendly atmosphere, but noisy kids who were running around when we were there. The place is small so needless to say it was pretty intrusive. The staff was very helpful with their suggestions.

I try to eat here whenever I can, the "sampler" dishes have been by favorite by far. I've never had great service here, but the food and price make up for it. Take some friends, split some dishes and you will go away full, and with some money left in your wallet! (Just plan and extra 1/2 hour for the slow service!)
Pros: food, price
Cons: slow service
