Great food
by Marchil
I often try out new places with friends, and I find the food here VERY VERY DELICIOUS. And I do not even care too much for ethiopian food.
They serve a lot of interesting dishes and most of those I've tried (I've been there four times already just for this month!) are really really good.
They would need to expand soon. Most of the times I was there, the place was packed. You need to wait to be seated and then you find yourself in a cramped space.
- Pros: Good food
- Cons: cramped space

friendly
by bayareaeaters
Friendly atmosphere, but noisy kids who were running around when we were there. The place is small so needless to say it was pretty intrusive. The staff was very helpful with their suggestions.

great variety plates, but SLOW service
by elifish
I try to eat here whenever I can, the "sampler" dishes have been by favorite by far. I've never had great service here, but the food and price make up for it. Take some friends, split some dishes and you will go away full, and with some money left in your wallet! (Just plan and extra 1/2 hour for the slow service!)
- Pros: food, price
- Cons: slow service
