| - Fantastic first experience eating Ethiopian food. We ordered the large vegetarian platter which comes with plenty of Injera on both the side and underneath the food so the juices and flavors from the food gets soaked up. This flatbread is to be used in lieu of any utensils. We thought it was delightful! It has a spongy texture, is gluten-free, and apparently is very healthy! Our beverages consisted of: Ethiopian beer, honey wine, and the coffee with ceremony. Hannah, our waitress, was pleasant, helpful, and relaxed. In fact, the overall ambiance was extremely relaxed. The food was savory yet light, and although we were full, we didn't feel heavy. The honey wine was not overly sugary and they have both an alcoholic and non-alcoholic option. The coffee ceremony was the cherry on top for our night. The pan-roasted beans were brought out to us to smell prior to grinding. The order was presented on a traditional set including: jebena (clay pot), small cups, incense resin, and sugar. Luckily my husband and I enjoy dark coffee and the smell of incense so this was perfect for us. I felt a bit guilty that the entire restaurant now smelled like roasted coffee and incense...but at least it's a pleasant smell - you're welcome! We've already recommended this place to our friends and will continue to spread the word! We'll be back for sure :)
