  1st time eating Ethiopian food I was a bit nervous but I went with family who had been before they ordered Lamb chicken and beef and collard greens and hard boiled eggs in the red sauce everything was fantastic I was nervous about the spice it was my absolute favorite thing of the night a little heat and then gone our service was great we chose family style so we could all share it was amazing I’ll definitely be back again!!!

  This is my go to comfort food in Salt Lake. The folks who run the place are amazingly kind and friendly. This is the best Ethiopian food in Salt Lake (in my opinion). Consistently great and sometimes outstanding (among the best meals I've had). The costs have increased substantially since I first started going AND, it's so much food! Still a smokin' deal and a great group of people to support.

  It was my first time trying Ethiopian food and I was highly impressed with the food. The food was amazing and the portions were huge. For the price everything was absolutely worth it. I would definitely go back. I recommend this place to any and everyone. They even added extra injera at no additional cost.

  If I could give them a 10 stars I would! Food was absolutely amazing, customer service was top notch! Very clean, very quiet, it was also giving a lot of cultural!

  Good food! I don’t know if they are authentic (I assume it is) but I can say that this is a unique flavor and worths trying if you would like to try something new. The portion is huge. I ordered 3 things plus samosa for 4 people and we couldn’t finish it. I had many leftover meals afterward as well. The one person combo is probably the best as you can try all the different things and they are all good. I substitute for rice and I indeed like it better than the flour (probably because I’m more accustom to rice). The beef and chicken combo and samosa are also good. My least favorite is probably Cornis as the meat is too tough for me (it’s dried meat so it’s understandable). The place is a but small at the entrance but the seating area is slightly bigger. It look like authentic restaurant as it is connected to the African grocery next door. It’s a bit dark inside and with the smaller entrance make the air flow a bit limited. The staff were friendly even though they have quite thick accent. Overall, it’s a good restaurant if you are willing to try something new.
