The portion was generous and could easily feed two people.

The food is more oily and the flavors just don’t stand out as much. I was also really disappointed that they changed my favorite dish, the Doro Wot, from having chicken drumsticks that are tender and fully immersed in the flavor of the sauce, to just using super hard, chewy, cubes of chicken. I’ve had it multiple times since they switched over and the texture is super off-putting. I might still go back if I’m in the area but I’m going to be looking for another location to go to on a regular basis. Doing take out is still super prompt and easy.

There is a variety of options for vegetarians and meat eaters, with gluten-free options also available. Parking can be a challenge at times, but it is worth it. Joseph has been our waiter on most of my visits, and his upbeat energy and kindness contribute to the positive atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant!
