Tucked away behind other businesses without a clear sign, this restaurant was quiet at noon but grew busier as lunchtime progressed. The food is flavorful and authentic Ethiopian cuisine, featuring dishes like doro tibs, lentil stew, and lamb awaze, all served with traditional injera made from teff flour; the service is friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is comfortable and homey.

Tucked away from busy streets, this restaurant offers an inviting atmosphere. The Ethiopian food is incredible, bursting with flavors and generous portions-definitely a place I'll revisit!
