I work across the street and frequent their lunch buffet. For $13 you can eat your fill of some amazing tasting lentils dishes, injera, salad and even dessert. They have loads of vegan and gluten free options, as well as plenty of meat dishes for my omnivore friends. The buffet is clean, fresh and well stocked, with new items appearing all the time. \n\nI have been a few times for dinner as well and the vegetarian platter to share is delicious and a fun excuse to eat with your hands. Ethiopian jazz and coffee are the icing on the cake. It is also worth mentioning that Michael, the owner, is one of the nicest people I have ever met. You will never receive poor service or be left wanting."^^ . "0"^^ . . "7"^^ . . "5"^^ . .
