- BDBemnet DechasaAug 18, 20265.0Love the food here, it always tastes like home! And everyone is so friendly!
- SJShauna JohnstoneAug 14, 20265.0I got doro tibs and also a too good to go box. Everything was delicious! The injera was soft and super fresh with just the right amount of tang. The chicken was tender and tasty and my favorite veggie dish was probably the Kik alicha which was rich and delicious. Highly recommend!
- ZDZahra DavenportAug 10, 20262.0Overpriced and Underwhelming Flavor of food was good is the pro I can give to eating here. Cons: slow service, overpriced menu, smaller portions than other Ethiopian options in Chicago, plus a faintly weird basement smell indoors. I would look elsewhere.
