Stopped in for a snack and ordered the samboussa app. Asked for two meat and one lentil. Received three meat. Was not impressed at all. Mostly flavor free except for the oil. There was maybe a tablespoon of filing. I was amazed that there wasn't even enough dipping sauce for these tiny items. Also the price online was 5.55 or so. It's over 7$in real life. The other items might be good but these did not impress at all. Truth be told my stomach isn't happy with what I ate. I would try other items if I ever came back. I won't though. First impression left a literal sour taste in my mouth.

It’s been 30 years since I’ve had Ethiopians food and was very excited to get a vegetarian sample plate and meat samplers. The injera bread was great and they had a gluten free version that was even better! But the on the veggie plate, the food lacked robust flavor and the cabbage and potatoes undercooked. The meat plate had decent flavor but the meats were so dry, it was not edible and the chicken tasted as if it had turned . So bummed. Nothing like I remembered Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30 Food: 2 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3 Vegetarian offerings: Large vegetarian selection
