Always drove by but never have stopped. Tonight with a couple from the neighborhood our casual bike ride led us to the small, cozy restaurant with a couple of cafe tables on McDowell. The Friday traffic was a little heavy but we didn't mind as we were engrossed in conversation. My wife spoke with the man behind the counter who asked her to trust him when creating the order for four. A short time later he arrived with platter a variety total deliciousness! Next time I go back, and there will be many times hereafter, I'm going to delve into and explore the menu so that I could be more knowledgeable for my review. In short all you have to know, the food was damn good, incredible spices -- what eating is all about! They now created a regular customer! Most likely, "Authentic Ethio African" restaurant will be rolling off my lips when replying to: "Where do you want to go to eat tonight?"
