Most wonderful Ethiopian restaurant ever. They have medium roast Ethiopian coffee and spices as well. We are plant based. Ethiopian and South Indian are our favorites.

This was a great find! What delicious food. I had the meat combo which was super. My wife had the chefs choice which she loved. And our son had the mild combo which he said was great! We will be back!

My absolute favorite place to bring visiting friends and family. This place is excellent. For those who love red meat, I would recommend the Manager's Choice. The coffee is superb; it takes a while to brew but it WORTH IT. The teas are all excellent, as well, especially the iced chai. Amazing assortment of vegan and vegetarian options, all of which are *chef's kiss* delectable, but hands down my favorite are the split yellow peas.

Delicious! Amazing! Menu explained everything and I loved every bite. I had the mild combination. My favorites were the lamb and the fosolia. I highly recommend getting a combination to start with so you can try several different things!

Absolutely delicious. We did the meal for 4 people and ate with our hands. The stew meat is delicious and you won't be disappointed. The doro wat was also fantastic.

A solid Ethiopian meal! We went on a Thursday at 6 and it wasn't busy at all, just one or two other tables. We got the Lalibela Exclusive ($61), a tasting platter with lots of their meat dishes and a few veggie ones. It's meant to serve 4, but the 3 of us were extra hungry and left nary a crumb. The injera was extra sour and had a great spongey texture. Lots of vegan options, too. Would definitely come back to try one of the veggie-based samplers!

This is the best Ethiopian place I have tried. Although I can't say I tried a lot of those but I am very sure this one is great. Exquisite and flavorful food. I ordered Doro wat and Injeera rolls. Doro wat is more of a chicken gravy served with Injeera. It was amazing. Even the tea they served was mildly infused with I think cardamom or cumin - it was pretty good.

Beautiful food and unique experience. So glad we found this place. Perfect for those who are tired of similar dine out options and looking for something different. I am not familiar with Ethiopian cuisine or how authentic their food is, but it is darn good food regardless. We had the combination platter for two people, and it was more than enough to feed two very starving adults. So many different kinds of meat and vegetable 🤤 Be aware however, some of the dishes pack some heat ♨️ We also tried the side of fresh made cheese. It was mild and soft- a fun addition to an already amazing food. The restaurant has vegan- and vegetarian- options, which is also nice. Tea and coffee are available on the menu and you can also buy packaged ones from the restaurant. Our server was nice and attentive. The entire place has a cozy, comfortable vibe. The bathroom inside the restaurant was clean as well.
