| - If you're looking for Ethiopian food north of Columbus, this is the only place in Greater Cleveland where you can find it. That being said, everything here - from the wall decorations to the food - has a degree of uniqueness that cannot be easily duplicated from those not intimately familiar with it! Having been to Ethiopia (2007) I can attest to the authenticity of this establishment and the cuisine that it serves.
Being a vegetarian, I usually order the Bayanetu (vegetable platter) which is served on a round platter with enjera (Ethiopian flatbread), a bread made from teff flour that acts as both a utensil and a food item. It already goes without saying that the coffee is a must have, if you can appreciate the best tasting coffee in the world. Now, the only reason that I omitted a star is due to the high prices of menu items. If this restaurant were in the D.C area, which is home to the largest Ethiopian community outside Ethiopia, it would have a difficult time staying in business as the prices would be considered too high compared to the dozens of other Ethiopian establishments in the National Capital region. Here in Cleveland however, it is a lone fixture on an otherwise barren landscape that caters to a predominately non-Ethiopian customer base. Still, the quality of the food is excellent and the portions are generous, which is why I would recommend it to anybody!
