I like my misir wot spicy, so I asked for that in the comments, and the food came well spiced AND they threw in a couple whole chilis on the side, which to others might be impractical but I found endearing. Good people good, wholesome food. I can always trust my body will feel great after, too.

This is my first experience with Ethiopian food. Nothing was mid. Literally everything was so tasty. Theres a slight spiciness (I love spicy so if youre very sensitive to spice it may be worth asking for very mild) and it is so delicious. The lentil variations and cabbage and injera. Amazing.

The vegetarian plate includes about 2 table spoons of each of misir and kik alicha (lentils) Doro wot was okay although lacked intensity and needed some more spice and sauce base! Most annoying part was waiters asked twice while I was eating if I was done. If you see me chewing why are you coming to my table and asking if I was done???? The second time the waitress asked if she can take one of the plates! And I just nodded WHILE CHEWING!
