My friend and I ordered our dishes by menu number so the young server would not get confused. However, it didn 't help, because she brought us 1/2 wrong main dishes. About 15 min. later she brought the spinach dish my friend wanted and we liked. The fried potatoes and shrimp appetizer were edible. The potato and cabbage dish was very bland. The injera under our food was dry, and we were both disappointed that neither of the main dishes were saturated with juices from the food so that we could truly sop up the liquid with injera as we have done in other Ethiopian restaurants. The music was very loud (we are Seniors and it was hard to talk).Despite my above comments, I am impressed that the restaurant is still standing strong, I hope, in the community despite the pandemic. Kudos to the owner!
