The food is phenomenal. The music is great. The atmosphere feels half home kitchen, half neighborhood hangout. Highly, highly recommend eating here or getting take out. And get extra injera!

A small place in a strip mall with big flavor. We tried two dishes and they were both outstanding. There was a bit of heat in the dishes but nothing I couldn't handle. I would go again for sure!

We got the vegetarian dinner for two and it was very good! Each dish had delicious, unique flavors. We were impressed by the generous portions and amazing variety of foods on the platter. We will definitely come back!

Our 1st time at this restaurant, and the first time eating Ethiopian food. Service was good, I asked for advice because I had never tried any of it. We tried three dishes family style. This is our new favorite restaurant. The food is delicious!

This is hands down the best Ethiopian food in Portland. The owners are so talented in the kitchen and their food is beyond amazing. The kitfo is my favorite and is always so full of flavor. I’m leaving Portland for Chicago and I will definitely miss this restaurant.

I have to agree with some of the other reviews, the spices are amazing, without being overpowering. The injera was perfect for holding big bites of delicious lentils. I had the Bayayenetu (vegetarian combination) and it will last me at least two meals. It’s hardy, and healthy, and I will definitely be eating here often.

What an amazing find! Really delicious, authentic Ethiopian food. Well worth the drive here. Every dish in our meal, which we shared family style, was delicious and became a sumptuous feast. Generous portions and the leftovers also tasted great the next day. We will definitely come here again.

Outstanding food and value. My partner's son, who is clinically underweight and does not eat much, ate more than he normally does in perhaps 3 days. I have never seen him enjoying food this much. And the food is truly outstanding. I will certainly come again when I am in the area! The restaurant and bathroom are both very clean, the owner is really friendly and fun to chat with should you wish to.
