| - The moment we walked in we knew the food would be good. The first step we took inside welcomed us with a warm, inviting scent of exotic spices. The atmosphere and decor, of an indoor thatched hut and basket-tables with various murals, will make you feel that for a short time, you are not actually living in Cleveland, but some foreign locale.
We got a meat sampler and veggie sampler to share and although it might not look like a lot of food, eaten with the injera they give you you will leave very full. The meat dishes are actually more flavorful than the veggie dishes which I find unusual because at previous Ethiopian restaurants I've been to it's been the opposite case.
The tea we ordered was delicious, but we were a bit confused because we were served what looked like hot tea-colored liquid in a tea cup, and then a Lipton tea bag. I tasted this tea-colored liquid. Well, it tastes like spiced tea... but is that just the spices they add to the water, and then I put in the Lipton bag? And if so, the "Ethiopian spiced tea" I ordered isn't very Ethiopian if there is Lipton in it, no? I decided that the hot spiced liquid in the cup was good enough that it didn't need any Lipton mucking up the flavor.
