So, we were unsure about whether to go here, but glad we did! The food was slightly different from what we had sampled e.g., there was a potatoes and beets dish we'd never had before....

My husband and I went here for lunch and had the option that included two meat dishes, three vegetables and the pancakes to wrap everything up in. We had never had Ethiopian food and the waiter was extremely helpful in recommending a meal. The food was delicious and we had a huge amount of it. To finish we had some...
