The special kitfo (ground steak tartare in seasoned butter) really is special, mixed w jalapeño = extra kick. Recommend missir (red lentils) & gomen (collard greens). Milka was delightful & attentive.

The Veg 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 (flatbread).

The Timatim fitful appetizer is one of the best I've tasted. The injera is perfectly tart, spongy and moist. The spicing is really good too. The interiors have been rebranded and redone. Very nice!!!

Fantastic food, cool vibe. You must be patient, though. Service is extremely slow, and the bar in the front isn't an actual bar (you can't order drinks there). But once you're seated, it's delish!

Good food and good service, in my experience. Don't know what people are complaining about there, maybe it got better? The vegetable combo is great, as is the avocado salad appetizer. Nice spot.

Vegetarian combo is more varied than any other Ethiopian place I've been (and I've been at most of the Ethiopian restaurants in the city).

The Broken Windows Theory for restaurants does *not* apply. despite usually being full of open tables, the food is really awesome, especially the veggie combo w/Ethiopian flat bread and Awash Chicken.

Traditional Ethiopian meal with the spongy sourdough flatbread and spiced meat and vegetable dishes to combine

Among the city's better Ethiopian restaurants. Vegetables are great here, but the tartare is our favorite.

Great service and delicious Ethiopian food. My boyfriend and I shared the combo for 2 and loved it!

Very very tasty, the tibs and chicken are all perfectly spiced and savory.

Meat platter is our usual. Brooklyn location is better than other two. Pick up chocolate cake from chocolate room after.

Same menu and great food quality as the one in the village. Get seating near the front - lot more intimate.

Food was decent... The vegetables were a little salty though so if you have blood pressure issues I'd be careful if i was you. Honey wine is like most regular white wines so if u looking for sweet -no

Service seems to have improved as of late. Portions are quite large on the platters, especially if you get an appetizer (the avocado salad is pretty awesome).
Stan TranFebruary 1, 2019
Get the vegan platter - I’d eat it every day if I could!
Christian LawsonFebruary 14, 2015
Oh yes, the veg combo is rocking! Try everything! I can't stop -)

Vegan platter is crazy good
Valerie SDecember 12, 2015
Delicious vegan and vegetarian options
Rahul SabnisJune 2, 2012
Yes, even though it looks closed from the outside, they're open. Food is better than the decor and lax service.
Vivian ChenOctober 25, 2015
Complete remodel. Wow! Super hip now!

Great food, but super stingy on the injera! What's that about?

What a fabulous place in Brooklyn.

Mushroom Tibs holy hell that was amazing
Henry YuanMay 16, 2013
Food is very flavorful and it was a pretty fun eating experience but, as people had already mentioned, the service is lacking.

Light switch for the bathroom is on the outside!
