John A. • November 3, 2016Tasty Somali food mostly meat options, but one vegetarian starter and one vegetarian main. Try the hot sweet milk tea, great to sip on a cold day.

Magdalene P. • March 24, 2014Lamb, lamb & more lamb, in the best of ways! Try the one in a peanut sauce. Also, didn't try it, but the whole red snapper looks great. Plus, the guinea hen was delicious. Nom nom. Expect a wait.

Yueyue G. • May 7, 2018Waiters seem to have never worked in a restaurant before, asked me 5x to repeat my drink order. Chicken tajine is pretty good but otherwise unimpressive

Margot M. • December 18, 2014Delicious food and a great happy hour. They have a full vegan menu! You can easily split an appetizer and an entree with your date. Ask for the full teff injira and be amazed.

Vivienne G. • August 10, 2014Get the meat + veggie combo or just the veggie combo. Can't really go wrong. Any cuisine that encourages eating with one's hands is my kind of cuisine. Also, honey wine = ❤️.

Serious Eats • April 23, 2013The Vegetarian Combo piles include beets, red lentils, yellow split peas, cabbage, gomen (collards cooked with garlic and onion) and shiro (ground and spiced chickpeas) sitting atop injera.

سليمان • July 16, 2017Massive delicious portions, lots of variety, get a mix platter and the Ethiopian honey wine. Extra injera is cheap

Harlem A. • July 19, 2015Don't mind that the sign is misspelled. Everything else is on point. The cafe is a perfect addition to a menu that is pastry heavy with some West African specialties. Ideal for champagne sipping.
