Food was delicious as always. Started off the sambusa platter followed by the Demerara Messob (serves 2). Everything was cooked to perfection.

I’ve never had Ethiopian food before and I really liked it. We especially liked the Sambussas. My kids lived them. And I got some cubed beef in an anchila sauce. Yum.
