    Visiting from out of town and stopped in for lunch. We asked the owner/chef for recommendations and she brought out lamb and chicken with rice and some kind of spinach side. Oh man, it was so good!

    The owner/chef was super friendly, the food was delicious, and the price was really good. I'll be back soon.

    We chose this restaurant based on a google search because I am vegan (he isn't) & the neighborhood. In a small shopping center - we missed it and turned around.  Not fancy but clean and the people were super friendly, and very responsive to me saying I was vegan. We let her choose for us and we were not disappointed. My date has traveled all over the world and he said it was the best he'd ever had. The food and tea were absolutely delicious. I highly recommend it!

    Good Somali and Ethiopian style food.  They have a picture menu which makes it easier to order, and the lady (owner) speaks good English and can help to explain what the dishes are.  We tried a little bit of everything.  The chicken steak was the best.  The beef was awesome too.  The fish was a bit dry and the goat was a bit tough.  The rice and spaghetti that was served were both great, and the injera flatbread was very fresh and tasty.  The best part is the green chili sauce that spices everything up.  I could drink a gallon of that stuff!  Very clean inside, too.

    We found the service to be humble and typical of most import restaurants. Needless to say,the food was as recommended, and savory. If you like spicy, this is the place to shift from the usual cuisine.

    We just moved into the area and as being adventurous eaters we thought we would try this place for the first time. 1) The place looks horrible and dirty on the inside. 2) Bunches of people were just coming and going as they pleased (not customers). 3) Waiter was cold and uninviting when he finally came to our table. All we were asked when we sat down was what we wanted to drink. No menu was offered or brought  to us for 10 mins. After no menu was brought over, we ended up just trying to pay for our drinks so we could leave. By this point they tell us they don't accept credit card only cash.. no sign was on the door or any where, so we were stuck trying to find random change to pay for our drinks. Thank goodness we only got drinks or we would have been screwed later.  Not recommended to anyone to go here. I do recommend people to go to Blue Nile Ethiopian Restaurant instead.. Wayyyy better everything there!
