YES 100% YES to this amazing restaurant. This is not just dinner, this an entire experience. My family opted for the traditional table setting which I highly recommend for the experience. The food was delicious and fun to eat. I myself had the Chicken Tibs which were juicy and deliciously spiced. I also tried a bit of my mother's Bozena shiro which was delicious. After dining, we partook in the coffee ceremony and it was an unforgettable event. The coffee was so aromatic and tasted absolutely delicious. The coffee ceremony was an amazing end to our delicious dinner and I definitely recommend trying it if you can!
I must admit that I have never had Ethiopian food before dining here, so I am unable to speak to the authenticity of the food. I can speak to the deliciousness of it though. It was a unique experience eating with my hands and creating what basically amounted to little burritos with their injera (flatbread-type food) and my chicken. It was fun to create my own food.
The waitress was amazingly nice and definitely willing to recommend food to those who are not familiar with Ethiopian food. I often times find myself recommending Empress Taytu to friends who want a nice, interesting night out. If you haven't tried it yet, you should!
