Good Ethiopian Food with a diner-like ambiance
by lizsong at Citysearch
It was strange to enter into an Ethiopian restaurant with the ambiance of an old diner ambiance. But, the food was super flavorful and delicious. I enjoyed the Ethio Tour with a friend of mine; however the tables are particulary wide, so it felt like we were sitting a bit far from each other. This didn't help the fact that we're eating off of the same plate with our hands. But, nonetheless....it was delicious!
I also had the Sambusa for an appetizer. It lacked flavor and felt like it had been made and deep fried hours before. I wasn't impressed by it at all.
The owner and server were both very kind, though the server was not aware when my water was out. She would only come if I asked her to refill my cup. She also didn't bring the check until I asked for it.
- Pros: Flavorful, Plenty of parking, Great for groups
- Cons: Random location, Slow Service

Delicious Ethiopian food and a friendly owner
by dingblip at Citysearch
Great food, fun to eat and a very friendly owner. The restaurant is huge! The owner said they book out the upstairs for parties sometimes. Also, be sure to try the Hakim Stout, it's delicious :-)
- Pros: Good food, lots of seating
- Cons: Mediocre ambiance

Great food with an all you can eat lunch buffet
by Timo4 at Citysearch
Ethiopian food is a great change of pace. It is outside the normal dining experience and a welcome change. Food can be very spicy if desired but more mild versions are offered. Proprietors and cook were very eager to please. The location alongside a Super8 Motel is a little shabby, but the food was very pleasing.
- Pros: Great Food, Good menu, Reasonably priced
- Cons: Poorly lit environmen, Disorderly

Queen of Sheba
by selamlehulu at Citysearch
The food is unbelievably testy and the service is great. The portion is very generous also inexpensive and I highly recommended this restaurant especially for group dining since the restaurant is very big.
