The place is suuuper small, everything simple and clean. Order the Vegetarian Combo, is surprisingly good.

Best Ethiopian food in NYC. Get the vegetarian combo or the meat combo and eat like a king. Honey wine is a tasty treat, too.

I come here once a month with my husband, we always order the same vegetarian combo. Always incredible although sometimes it's pippin hot sometimes not but always delicious.

The vegetarian combination platter is diverse, delicious, healthy, and great value! Try the honey wine for the authentic Ethiopian experience.

You can order extra injera to go for $1/piece. Tastes great fried with eggs the next morning!

I liked it a lot. Get the combo and maybe an appetizer, you will be full. Very inexpensive, will return for sure.

The lunch special is great; I recommend the tibs wat (a little spicy but great) and the vegetarian platters.

They have a good vegetarian section in the menu. The environment is homy. Besides, using your hands to eat is a must.

Very small, cozy place. Not good for a big crowd! But the lamb is great and they have a nice wine selection.

Get the avocado salad first and then order the veggie combo and meat combo. A great selection for a group of friends!

Food is always incredible and service is always friendly, but sometimes slow.

I got the mixed plate, the food was good but the injera was a bit dry. Service was perfect and levels of noise were really low. I would still recommend this place.
