Delicious food at affordable prices - and the fluffiest injera! The vegetarian food is delicious (there is also a selection of meat options) and the service is super friendly. The best Ethiopian food outside of our friend's mum's kitchen.

We wanted to try something different. The food was good, and the service was good very authentic. We will be sampling more Ethiopian cuisine in the future.
