"I love this place!!!\nWe had previously been fans of a place in Tucson, and were a bit weary of trying a new place, having heard negative feedback from friends who ate at a Phoenix location.Hopeing this was not that location, we decided to try it!\nIt is a small diner like location tucked into a corner shopping plaza. It was not fancy, but had great authentic decor. \nIt was clear immediately that this was a family owned place, which to me, typically means better, more authentic eating. I was right!\nWe were quickly seated and the waitress was very friendly and attentive. We ordered the meat combo, some mild lamb, and a spicy split pea dish.\nWhen the waitress delivered our meal ( about 2 minutes after ordering) it was in fact the veggie combo, not so good for my husband, Captain Carnivore. \nShe noticed this immediately, and not only brought us what we originally ordered, but let us keep the veggie platter free of charge! This made for a lot of food, but gave us the chance to try a bit of everything.\nThe food was awesome! \nMy favorite part of Ethiopian food has always been the aspect of dining as a community of friends, as opposed to selfishly hoarding your individual plate, bragging to others of your current experience, maybe allowing a taste to your friends. These dishes are brought out combined on a platter on a spread of special bread, which you use instead of utensils to eat your food, free for all in your party to experience!\n\nOur favorites were the spicy beef, spicy chicken, mild lamb, and spicy split pea lentil concoction.\n\nWe left full, and happy, with a box full of leftovers to enjoy tomorrow!!\nNo more having to wait for those long trips to Tucson!\nEat Here!!!"^^ .
