| - If you haven't tried Ethiopian... do it! I have been to the other couple of Ethiopian places in town, but this one is my favorite. I have been here twice, once with a Groupon and then out with a group of 6. If you go here, do not expect anything fancy, but do expect what I would consider authentic Ethiopian. The first time I had one of the lamb tibs dishes and it was great. The sambosa is good along with the avocado salad wrapped in injera. My favorite thing I have had there was the raw short rib, or I believe it was supposed to be short rib. One of the less adventuresome with food thought he ordered a cooked dish, but it came out raw so I traded with him. I would recommend trying one of the raw dishes if you are up for it. Very tender without any fat or gristle.
While I am sure you can get in and out in under an hour, I would plan to be there longer. Both times we went (one time we were trying to make a show, which we did, but we had to press them to get the check), we had a main lady who was awesome and obviously running the place and she had an assistant who seemed lost or at least awaiting orders on what to do next. It took a while to get things ordered and to finally get our check, but then the main lady boxed up my friend's food and gave her a little more when we went on a Wednesday night (I mention it was Wednesday because we were the last ones there around 8:30). We were inquiring about the coffee ceremony and she ended up giving the 6 of us the coffee ceremony for free. And that stuff was fantastic.... just plan to be there a while because they roast the beans in front of you, while burning incense, then she brews the coffee and provides 3 cups per person. After all that was done, she then brings us honey wine. We have no charges for the honey wine or the coffee, although I would have expected to pay for the coffee since we asked for it.
The reason I didn't give 5 stars was because it definitely is in a less desirable neighborhood and the service was different than expected (not unwelcomed, just different when you are thinking of going to dinner for an hour with friends on a week night). But please do not let this deter you from checking this place out with an open mind. I highly recommend this place for something a little different, but also very friendly and welcoming. The main lady really makes you feel like you are in her home and she wants to show you a good time.
