We particularly enjoyed the Jebana combo.

They have a little parking lot for the strip of businesses but there is also plentiful street parking since it's pretty residential. We were greeted super warmly by a lady I'm assuming is the owner? I have to say. She is HER. She is MOTHER. From the moment we walked in the doors to when we said bye, it felt like we were eating at our family's house. We ordered the jebena combo to share amongst 2 people and omg we were stuffed. Standout items on that combo platter were the spinach, the chicken drumstick, and the lamb. But honestly everything was so good. The injera is nice and fluffy and when the owner saw that we were running low, she came to bring us another one. So nice Absolutely will be coming back, 1000000%. There's sadly not a lot of Ethiopian or Eritrean restaurants in the area, so this was a lovely find.

The service and atmosphere are excellent, there is plenty of parking, the prices are reasonable, the food is delicious, and they are able to accommodate dietary restrictions. I will definitely be returning. Make sure to call in advance if you need gluten-free injera!

I came here with a friend and the whole experience was amazing! The lady was so kind and welcoming, she made sure we were enjoying the food and gave us booth seats even though we were two people! The walls are decorated with beautiful Ethiopian art and there is chill Ethiopian music in the background. The food was amazing!! Everything was so well flavored, the meats were cooked so well, and the injera had the lovely fermented flavor. The meat combination was a full balanced meal for two people, and was priced like a meal for one! There were veggie sides, lentils, and meat stews, and they changed the spice of one of the meat dishes to be lower since it was next to a spicy dish on the plate, so they have great attention to detail. One of my favorite food experiences to date!
