Great atmosphere, genuine hospitality, delicious and fun! We are from out of town and had been traveling for several days, we were visiting Cleveland on family matters and were staying nearby. We had a vegan, an "if you dare!" diner (you'll need to read the menu to understand) and several more-typical diners, there was only one person who had dinned on Ethiopian Cuisine before. One of our party was not feeling well and was graciously accommodated with delicious well cooked plain chicken and plain rice - very comforting and most appreciated. The customs call for meals to be eaten with a unique bread to be both the liner of the plate (or table shared platter) and to be used as the utensil for picking up the food, the bread is plentifully available. We were able to try two different Ethiopian beers, both excellent and of different characters - one a lager was crisp and smooth, the other had more flavor and more bitter - both delicious. The food was full flavored and skillfully prepared; it was presented nicely and everything tasted fresh. Generally speaking dishes were well seasoned and tend toward spicy. I had the Gored-gored and was offered mild, medium or hot; I chose medium and while pleasantly spicy it was not so hot as to be unpleasant to me - I did nibble just a bit on the three finger sized hot pepper strips that garnished the dish. The salad that accompanied the dish was delicious. Next time we will stay and enjoy the Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony, if we had not been on the road for two days and very tired it would have been a real treat. Several guests were seated in some very comfortable looking chairs at a low round table enjoying the coffee ceremony (smoking coffee beans, incense and Ambasha Bread - and of course the coffee) and clearly spending some quality time indulging in a bit of luxury and meaningful conversation. This was a great experience with wonderful service and delicious Ethiopian cuisine

Food is so good no matter what you get. Great place for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. My elementary school aged kids loved it, probably helped they got to eat with their fingers.

Made reservations as per website suggestion and was glad I did. They were packed! But we didn't have to wait for our table. Being a Saturday night and apparently short staffed, the food was a little slow coming out. The wait staff were super friendly and apologetic and gave us a discount for the wait. The food was super flavorful and filling and everything was very tasty. You can't go wrong with the combination plates- especially if you're a newbie to the cuisine as we were. You get to try a little bit of everything! Some people have said that the food is too pricy- to them, I say you get what you pay for. Would go back again, and hopefully soon!
