    Food is ridiculously good and the people that run the place are so nice. Love these kind of home-style spots where everyone is down to earth and happy to share in the wonderful communal food that is injera.

    Go to this place!! Carve out time to sit with good friends and get to know the chef. Kuchi is a good man and I promise the food is amazing!

    Some of the warmest most inviting people and food. Hole in the wall. Just trust the chef!

    3.5 stars. The owners are extremely nice but a visit requires some patience. We dropped by on a Sunday around 7pm and seemed to catch them completely off guard - they got started in the kitchen after we ordered but it took around 45 minutes for our food to be done.

    The menu has a pretty limited selection, but you get to try some staple Ethiopian tastes.
