    Fantastic authentic food. You can taste the love and hard work that goes into every dish. BEST Injera bread I've ever had. Well worth the visit. Will come every time I'm in the area.

    A little bit of a strange atmosphere when I walked in (wasn't greeted) and was just standing there for 5 minutes. Eventually I was greeted and the worker was really nice. I got two sambusas (lentils and spinach) and injera and it was all really good and fresh tasting! I'm excited to come back for a full meal šŸ˜‹

    I recently moved to Chicago and was hungry after unpacking and putting heavy furniture together. This calls for a big meal! I ordered the vegan combo since Ethiopian cuisine would turn me vegetarian. It was great. I especially love the beets, gomen, and a dish I can't name but in the picture it's top left next to the cabbage. Those 3 are addictingly good This is definitely one of my new go to spots in my new city!
