Amazing food! I recommend the meat combo and the baklava. I’ve come here multiple times and the food quality has been very consistent

Best ethiopian food with vegetarian and vegan options. The veggie platter for two comfortably serves three people all the sides were amazing except for the spinach based one which felt a bit raw. Ethiopian spice tea is a must try for the Winter! Solid 5/5 without any forced service charges added!

I used to be a fan of Zeni and visited frequently. Recently, I brought my parents along and wanted to order 2 main courses for our group of 5, along with 4 sides due to their smaller appetites. They pointed us to the restaurant's rule of a minimum of 2 mains for 3 people when we tried to place our order and said we need to order 3 mains. This rule is very unfriendly to customers and illogical since their large plates make 1 main sufficient for 2 people. It seems unnecessary to order 4 mains for a group of 6 (or 3 for a group of 5). Also no one brought us the bill or came to a water refill. It was very disappointing.

My first experience eating Ethiopian food. Good service, the food was flavorful. I couldn't rate it 5 stars because I don't have anything to compare it to. Nice cozy spot. The appetizer was delicious and flaky. The food was hot and fresh we had some sort of ground beef and a chopped beef along with some chicken all were good. We also had greens which were just ok to me. . I'll come back. Many more options i want to try. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $20–30 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4
