The Pork Tenderloin special was overcooked. Was told by the waitress that the tenderloin came in one piece, but when it was served, the actual tenderloin was cut up into 4 uneven pieces. If the pork was served as one piece, then it may not have been overcooked.

the food was terrible, we asked for no salt pepper or butter and fish came over salted and peppered uneatable
Loved the pictures of Ethiopia and the baskets. The food was outstanding and healthy. I am not a healthy eater, but felt good about such healthy food that was very delicious. Lots of flavor! I had not eaten Ethiopian food in over 20 years and forgot how much I loved the enjera!
Food is always great. Very friendly owner. Food served quickly and hot.
Great service as usual, great food for super reasonable prices.

Service was attentive. Food came out quickly. We both loved our meals. Really great value for the money. I really appreciate all the vegan choices.
Really interesting food. Only the 2nd time I've eaten Ethopian food and it was excellent. Server was great in giving me smaller portions of a variety of items to sample the tasteful vegan choices.
Excellent food, coffee, and service as usual!

Cool little restaurant, excellent food and service.
Ethiopian food is different enough to be interesting. Also tasty and fun.
Owners are very friendly
I am not thrilled with the food here. Others in the party enjoyed it.
Very unique ethnic food. Co-owner was also our waiter and was a very interesting man to talk to. Food was well prepared and good taste.
My mate agreed they have "good energy." The host was calm, cool and casually ready to get along with virtually anyone. The food, plentiful, homemade and indigenous to some part of the world less familiar with our decadent ways. The hostess kindly permitted me to uncork a couple hard beverages, too.
