With no experience of Ethiopian food before, our waitress Aleah did an amazing job explaining the menu to us and what we might like. We ended up getting the non-spicy vegetables and some chicken. The combo's seem to be the best way to go so you can try many things at once. Great flavors all around. The yellow peas and lentils were our favorite of the vegetables. The pickled cabbage that came with the meal was great too.

I used to love Altus, but it has changed and not in a good way. I recently went to Altus and got the veggie meal pick 4 items with injera bread. This is the only thing I eat there because it's my favorite. I was SHOCKED how they downsized the portions but the price is still the same. It was all of this injera bread with very little food. Usually its plenty and I leave full for the rest of the day. Not this day. The food is usually really flavorful. That day it was bland and the injera was extra sour. The service was slow. One waitress and she sat talking to a customer for like 15 minutes. I was not immediately acknowledged when we walked in. It was to the point where I was close to leaving. Keep in mind the place wasn't packed it was 3 people there.
Manager- Please don't have the cooks be stingy with the veggie meals. I had plenty of injera left because I didnt have much of the 4 items I chose to eat it with.
Please get 2 waiters or if you're going to have one at least make sure their customer service is right.
Season the food..it was so bland, that was a first for me there.. the food is usually packed with flavor
Even after my bad experience, I do plan to eat at altus again...but if I have an experience like my most recent, I won't be back.
