Ernesto GutierrezJuly 14, 2018A very humble restaurant that delivers tasty dishes. The lamb special tibs is great for spicy curry 🌶 lovers. The lamb yebeg alecha was a more grilled take on the meat. Both heavily recommended.
Margaret McInroeAugust 21, 2016Nice intimate casual space overlooking the park. The veggie combo dish is a great vegan option with small portions of 8 dishes with plenty of injera bread. The Chenin Blanc was nice, light and fruity.
Victor CarvalhoAugust 15, 2015The vegetarian options were amazing! A dish was enough for my appetite! I really liked the service and using our hands to eat is always joyful!
Carolina RangelAugust 21, 2018It was my first time with ethiopian food, we ordered the meat and vegetarian combos, it was more than enough food (2 people sharing). Good food, nice service. We really enjoyed out visit.

The Corcoran GroupDecember 17, 2010Non-descript atmosphere but extraordinary food. Try the Meskerem Combo and know that you don’t use utensils.
John ButtOctober 10, 2018The food is great but the service is very slow. Great place if youre with friends and can talk the night away.
Authentic in every aspect. The combo platter is a great option.
Thomas F.June 24, 2012Everything is delicious here. It has been a neighbourhood gem for over 15 years!
Jen LeeMay 22, 2010Best Ethiopian in Hell's Kitchen. Don't forget to get a glass of honey wine with your order of Tibs Wat.
