always good

One of my top favorite spots serves up traditional Eritrean breakfast and lunch dishes, such as the delicious fuul plate with cooked fava beans and spices. The coffee here is a dark Italian roast, and the cozy indoor and outdoor seating creates a welcoming atmosphere for enjoying the flavors of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern influences.

i want to eat their nice dish again it was so tasty. but i didn't like the way the owner lady treats her employee she came in the middle when the girl who takes my order was making my sandwich and take it from her hand and making it again. that wasn't fair for that nice girl. this happened before 9 month.
