Service is terrible; waiter is not seen for a long time. This Ethiopian restaurant is also really good, their food is excellent, and their plates are quite good and tasty, and decent size.

Been coming here for 10 years now. Get the doro wot (chicken in tomato sauce) and veggie platter.

Been coming here for 6 years now. Prices are reasonable. Service is okay BUT the food is great! Try parking behind the restaurant in the alley.

Order the beef with jalapeños ( no oil) or the whole fish. Veggie sampler is also a must.

For some reason, this one seems to be the most popular place in Little Ethiopia! But Tuesday nites = quiet!

Order the Goat Tibs

Ask what tibs means because almost all items are called tibs.

Don't miss the market and the Meta beer

Yedoro Wot (курица в соусе) очень вкусно. Veggi plate тоже стоит попробовать. Все блюда подаются с специальными кислыми блинами. Ими же и едят - приборов нет. Порции большие. Кофе вообще шикарный
