- LDLinh DoJul 2, 20262.0We got the chef's special for 3 and it was just not good. None of the dishes were actually hot even though it came straight out of the kitchen. I've had Ethiopian food many times and the flavor of the dishes just didn't deliver. We ate it because it costed $150, but if the option to send everything back was a possibility we would have 100% done so. The sambusas were good I guess. I really wish we did not come here for dinner. Good food is worth $150. Mediocre, I would even say just bad, food is NOT worth $150.
- CIChristina IzzoJun 25, 20265.0Excellent food, excellent service
- JKJi KimJun 25, 20265.0Fresh, delicious food with generous portion sizes. Our 4-person group got the veggie and meat combo for 3 and had leftovers to enjoy the next day. The chef himself came out to say "hi" and explain the menu, which was a lovely surprise! I thoroughly enjoyed the injera, which was soft and pleasantly sour. Not difficult at all to get to the restaurant if you take public transit or drive.
- SMSamhar MengistuJun 14, 20261.0Do not eat here over an hour and I still have not gotten my order. Not only that the lady up front serving food with out her hair covered and hair literally in the food
- JAJesse ArvizuJun 8, 20265.0One of the best Ethiopian places I ever had. I eat here every time I visit Chicago! Fresh, flavorful and even the salad blows my mind. Always leave here full and happy.
