Fantastic Ethiopian cuisine in Chicago! The staff is incredibly friendly, making dining here a pleasure. This restaurant is a fantastic choice for vegetarians, as the food is served family-style. Meat dishes are distinct from the vegetable and legume options, which is a nice touch. They also offer some unique dishes that you won’t find in many other Ethiopian restaurants. Everything we tried was delicious. Be sure to add this spot to your must-visit list!

It's a great place if your looking for an intimate setting with you and your date or even with a group of friends to just catch up on daily life! The menus had a variety of options, giving you snippets of Ethiopian culture! The food is mouth watering thateven when you're full you still want to finish the plate! Oh, and it's BYOB! Last but not least, the servers were so sweet &have is nothing but a smile! Would highly recommend if you're looking for something authentic and intimate!

The food was scrumptious, and we had a fantastic experience! The owner was exceptionally accommodating when we arrived just 30 minutes before closing, taking the time to explain the menu to us. It's a BYOB establishment, so don't forget to grab a bottle from the shop around the corner. All in all, it was an outstanding experience!
