I'm normally never out this way, and the two restaurants besides this one we're closed at the time. So what the hell, let's try something new!! The people outside and inside looked like they were enjoying themselves. So you order at the front counter your food and drinks. Take your number they give you to a table of your preference and wait. The ambiance of this place is super cool. One part of the restaurant is like a bike shop, if I remember correctly. It didn't take long for my Kimchi Bloody Mary to show up. Yes it sounds weird but it was damn good!!!! As some may know I love a good BLT!! This is not your regular smegular BLT. Wow of wow was it fresh and delicious. I finished that plate like I was starving!! I wanted another bloody Mary but I was driving home, so no bueno!! And don't be lazy put your own dishes away! Oh well til next time. Oh yes the bathrooms are clean
Found one more Ethiopian gem! I ordered a pickup of their most reviewed Zobel combo and I loved it! The meat was fresh, the spices were right and not at all stingy proportion! The restaurant has a contemporary vibe. The server was polite and the place gave a welcoming vibe. I would recommend trying them once. They close late so can be a good healthy alternative to burgers :)
Have frequented here multiple times at different points of the day. The food is excellent and the Zobel combo is an amazing price and easily feeds two hungry people. The atmosphere is chill, slow-paced, with music in the background, people often hanging out at the bar, and incense. Never seen it crowded and the staff are always very sweet and welcoming.
The food here is 😋! Had the combination plate with doro wat. The combination plate comes with beef, lamb and veggies too. Such a steal. The injera was delicious too! Their siga wot was spectacular! Such a welcoming, warm and chill atmosphere here. The owner is the sweetest man. A real 💎 for sure!
Great food! Got the meat combo. Flat bread was amazing too! Super nice staff.
Not my favorite, but forsure one of my go to spots. I would say this stays in my top 3 ethiopean spots I order from. Location and price are literally the reason. Their food isn't better than other places, but it's really good.
I pretty much always order a combo u less I'm solo, then I get to order wot or gomen kitfo like I really want.
This is most my favorite location to eat at. I pretty much only get food to go from here. Very ethiopean lounge bar Vibes. Too much to be comfortable on a date. I understand this, so when I want to sit down and eat. I just go to my other favorite spots. We all win.
Listen, I am by no means an Ethiopian cuisine expert- but I was brought by friends who have certainly had their fair share of the fare. We ordered a combo plate for $20, but holy smokes, there was so much food that the three of us left stuffed. It was also absolutely incredible!
It was a quiet Sunday holiday, and we went pretty late so we basically had the whole restaurant to ourselves.
Will definitely be going again, and bringing friends!

Husband and I have had Ethiopian food many times at multiple Seattle Ethiopian restaurants. This is by far our favorite.
We ordered the lamb tibs two different ways, with Awaza sauce and without. It came quickly, hot and sizzling, on a gigantic injera with an appropriate amount of extra injera on the side. Wait staff who took our order was lovely. Very polite, very soft spoken gentleman. The woman who served us was the cook, and she was also an incredibly nice lady.
The food was INCREDIBLE. Just the right amount of spice. The injera was obviously made in-house, as the edges were crispy. It was well seasoned, and had exactly the right blend of sour and savory flavor. This is NOT toned down for the caucasian palette. If you want spicy, authentic Ethiopian food, this is the place to go.
The tables and restaurant itself was clean, spacious, and comfortable, with perhaps just a little bit too low lighting for my taste, which is the only reason we marked it at a 4-star at all.
Afterward, we sat by the window for a while just enjoying the day, sipping a home brewed cup of coffee and a diet coke. Total bill came to under $50 for two full meals, plus drinks.
Hubby and I WILL be coming back.
