Tried Ethiopian food for the first time this evening. What a delightful experience! The waiter suggested that our family of 4 order a platter filled with a variety of traditional dishes. We ate everything using only our fingers and using a fluffy Ethiopian crepe-like bread to scoop up every last bit.

Just. Delicious. I really enjoyed the Awaze tibs (Lamb and onions sautéed in a tasty Awaze red sauce it came with a few sides that really enhanced the flavor! Delicious! The food is so flavorful and so comforting. Just hit the spot when you are craving something that makes you feel at home, flavorful and delicious. somethings are spicy, and some things are not spicy, If you weren’t sure what to get ask for a recommendation!

We tried to go to Little Africa Ethiopian Cuisine today, but it was closed (not sure why, since it was during what is supposed to be open hours). Service: It was only taking our order and nothing else. We weren't given water to drink (not a huge deal--we could've asked, if we didn't have our water bottles on our bikes right outside the door). Waiter never came to see how everything was; also, not a huge deal. But what lost some stars for service (and maybe I'm too generous for not knocking off more stars), is that there was a worker sitting in the dining room near the kitchen talking on a cell phone the entire time. But at least they were open when they were supposed to be, so that's something. Atmosphere: The bathrooms were very dirty (the rest of the restaurant was a bit dubious, but not terrible. I wanted to use the toilet, but when I went to wipe off the seat with a wet paper towel because it was so dirty, the seat just about fell off, because one screw was missing and the other was loose. I ending up deciding I'd just hold it. The atmosphere could be improved with some quiet music--it was silent other than the sound of the worker on the cell phone and some other patrons' smacking. Food: The food was good, but I prefer Little Africa. I would have liked to have a bowl of water for washing fingertips (especially since the bathroom was so dirty I didn't want to go back in).

Tried Ethiopian food for the first time today. The server recommended some dishes for us to try. Doro Wat, Sega Wat, Misser Wat, Tikil Gomen Alicha, and Qosta. Everything was delicious. The Injera bread is a very sour sourdough, soft and doughy. I tried Injera by itself, and wasn’t sure about the flavor, but once you grab a bite, the flavors mix so well. This is food done right. Very few staff on hand, and the food takes a while to come out. But it is well worth the wait. We had 2 entrees, and 3 sides, which was the perfect amount of food for 2.
