Food: Explosion of flavors yet small

The top three dishes at the restaurant include a vibrant Vegetarian Combo, tender Lamb Tibs and freshly made Injera. Each of these dishes exudes a unique flavor, thanks to the restaurant’s creative use of spices which are further enhanced by the freshness of the ingredients. The menu however, has drawn mixed reviews due to the small portion sizes and limited options.

Vibe: Moody and not date-night friendly

The ambiance's dim lighting often makes the space appear dingy and unclean. While it offers a variety of drinks including African beers, it fails to provide the perfect date night setup due to the noise from the television and unfavorable location. The dimly lit assembly could be more appealing with more thoughtful lighting.

  • Okay Drinks

    Variety available including beer, African beers, and stronger options.

  • Dates

    Too dim, sketchy area, and loud TV sound detract from intimate dates.

Perks: Satisfactory service with group limits

Caters well to large groups with commendable service. However, safety concerns arise because of dark corners in the parking lot. The restaurant's service is typically slow but the staff is friendly and it offers a wide range of dietary options, especially for vegetarians. It's a mixed bag of perks at best.

  • Great for Diets

    Plentiful vegetarian options with a diverse and delicious assortment.

  • Okay Service

    Service sometimes slow but staff is friendly and food worth wait

  • Parking

    Dark corners in parking lot suggest security concerns, deterring guests.
