Customer Reviews
What customers say about us

The service was fantastic, our waiter seemed genuinely excited to share her cultures food with us and answered all the questions we had as it was our first experience with Ethiopian food. Everything tasted fantastic and the atmosphere was nice with cool artwork and interesting ceramics on display. The owner came out to personally thank us for coming in and ask how the food was. I will definitely be returning and spreading the word to anyone looking for a new eating experience.

First place I ever felt like I'm eating at home, the service and the authenticity of their food would take any habeshan person home. I've been to many ethiopian cuisines in many states and none of them matches the taste or authenticity of their food. They're humble and really nice people. Finally found my spot in Raleigh!

The food is always Delcious, staff Services are prompt attentive and helpful. And the atmosphere very pleasing and the new interior design and the cultural pics and everything are welcoming. I never get tired of this place!! I always feel me something to suit my mood....kitfo, doro wot, diffrent kinds of tibs 😋, veggie platter... everything is fabulous.
