As someone who has been fortunate to enjoy Ethiopian cuisine throughout NYC and DC, I was pleasantly surprised that I would find this little hole-in-the-wall restaurant just a short walk from the Palms to be my new favorite.
I was thoroughly impressed by the flavorful spices in everything on my veggie combo plate - especially the fresh collards, cabbage, and wot. It far exceeded many of the blander versions I've had at other Ethiopian establishments. To clarify what 'spices' means to me, it was a range of well-proportioned spices that enhanced the flavor profile and NOT simply a matter of overheating the dishes with hot peppers. As an extra touch, they kindly warmed up my injera for me, even though they were reluctant to do so as it's not their traditional way of serving it.
The owner was very warm, friendly, and proud to share the delectable food treasure of his family lineage without cutting corners in quality. I'm highly appreciative of the experience.
