Description

Nestled off the beaten path, this Ethiopian gem offers a delightful culinary adventure marked by fresh, authentic dishes and warm hospitality. While the eccentric owner passionately curates the dining experience—often personally selecting meals for guests—there are occasional hiccups, like mismatched menu prices. However, the savory flavors, particularly the fuul and tender goat meat, shine brightly. Diners are treated to generous portions, complimented by delightful appetizers and warm baklava. Despite a few service quirks, the welcoming atmosphere and attention to detail make it a must-visit for those seeking delicious food and a unique dining experience.

From the beaten p thread of the park highland is this small place not to miss! Fast attention was paid when we let the personal know that broken glass was on the walk outside. it was gone before we were even ready to place our order! my man shaved about the tenderness of the goat meat, hanid, served with vegetables and basmati rice. I had celebs with cauliflower and lenses incredible heat, which is shy and stays! we'll be back soon!

Very delicious food. not sure what to expect from it, because I never had Ethiopian food. it was a great selection of vegetables and meat. most of them are about $12 for a escape. small, stone place very friendly staff. it defines a hole-in-the-wall style space. very clean too. a certain attempt if they are looking for a mix in their normal routine of eating the place. great if you love choir and if you don't. they will turn off the heat (flamvor) when they ask. again fantastic. 5/5 on food safe.
