“My favorite Ethiopian Restaurant in Seattle”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 12, 2012

I have been to many Ethiopian restaurants in Seattle and this is easily my favorite. The food is fresh, well-spiced, and delicious. The family who runs the restaurant is warm and delightful.

One of my favorite places for Ethiopian! Has microbrews, too!!! Order the veggie platter. But BEWARE - service is agonizingly slow. You may need to flag down your waiter for the check.

4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2008

The only time I've been there, it was great. Their food can be spicy. I really liked the kitfo, which is like steak tartare (ground raw beef with spiced butter).
