| - I don't know what I can say that others have not already said about this establishment. When first arriving, it is in a strip mall, tucked off the strip. The complete opposite of the glitz of Vegas. The decor inside is simple and the restaurant is clean. There is lovely peaceful music to be heard. One will seat themselves and the proprietor will come over with the menu and make some nice suggestions.
Being vegan and never having Ethiopian food before, I was glad to have my companions with me to make suggestions. Apparently, this establishments specialty is the vegetarian dish so we knew we were in for a treat.
Starting off with lentil sambusas, I had wished I had ordered more. My companions stated they were the best they had ever eaten. The dough was flaky, tender, the sauce was flavorful and the filling was simple and delicious.
The vegetarian platter we ordered was literally enough for two to three people. It has an array of lentils, vegetables, salads, and is served with injera. You eat with your hands here. The display of this dish is beautiful and I immediately had to take a picture, it is a work of art.
My friends ordered the Ethiopian coffee service. The gentleman told us that the lady who performed the service was off that day. We were surprised to find that she did come in on her day off to perform the service for us. Wow is all I can say. Please do not leave without having the coffee service, it is an experience and is delicious.
The value of the food you receive here will surprise you. We had dinner for six people, including appetizers and the coffee ceremony. $58 before the tip.
if you want a break from the fast pace of Vegas, do yourself a favor and head over to Meskerem.
