| - I came here with a group of friends for the second time in a couple of years, and I enjoyed my experience. Despite many comments that this place is often empty, I found it to have a bit of activity there when I went on a late Saturday evening, but my group of 5 was still able to get a table without much wait time. We had a few vegetarians in the group, so we limited ourselves to the vegetarian options and ordered the lentil sambusas, the misir, the shiro, and the kik-alicha. All were delcious, and the dishes served family style left our group pleasantly full. Admittedly, I'm not too experienced with Ethiopian food, as I've only been to one other Ethiopian restaurant in the past and have not quite developed a discerning taste. However, it's the only Ethiopian place in Cleveland, so it allows some novelty to those who are curious. I thought the decor was ok and enjoyed eating around their basket tables, though there were some somewhat unsteady small tables to set your drinks on. It seems as if a number of reviewers are complaining about the service. During my experience this time around, the service was somewhat slow, with our meal taking perhaps ~2 hours, but I had good company, and it was a chance to have good conversations. I would go with a small-medium group and be prepared to have a lot of time to chit chat. If you keep that in mind, I think it will be a better experience.
