Delicious food and the owner clearly loves the restaurant. The first time we came here two years ago, he explained the menu to us and helped us with recommendations since it was our first introduction to Ethiopian food. You could see the excitement in his eyes when we took our first bites. We've come back several times since and it's been an awesome experience every time.
Definitely recommend trying the lamb and the honey wine.

Overall was a good atmosphere and experience. They were out of honey wine which is one of my favorite items at Ethiopian restaurants but not their fault if there is high demand, etc. I think the food was decent and average/sort of middle of road compared to Ethiopian restaurants I have been to in DC, Seattle, NY/CT area. I will give it another chance in the future and see what I think!
Very tasty Ethiopian food with good service and a pleasant atmosphere especially if you sit outside and you can do some street/people watching. Slightly unpleasant surprise...a bill. Personally I think a little bit too high.
The service and atmosphere was very good here. The food was a bit underwhelming. It didn't have all the deep seasoned and spicy flavors Ethiopian food typically has. The chicken was a bit dry. The injera was good but less tangy than others I have tried.
This place is a gem!! Only had Ethiopian food one other time in Washington DC, but living in Rhode Island there aren’t any restaurants here. My boyfriend had never tried it before so we took the trip to Boston to try this restaurant out. Everything was wonderful! The owner sat us down and checked in on us and was so sweet. I got the vegetarian combo and my boyfriend got a beef entree. Food was seasoned well and tasted great. We also got a bottle of their honey wine and it is fantastic! Worth the hour trip!! Cant wait to come back again.
Must say this was a rare treat for my taste buds ! Eating it like a local made it fun and enjoyable ..
The owner was very gracious and welcoming . Authentic cuisine ! Mix combo with meats , lentil and collard greens . Had the local honey wine which was a perfect pairing .

This restaurant should be the first one you taste Ethiopian with!
I got very impressed with all the little things they took care of.
The taste and service was great. My only concern was, the host did not provide enough hospitality and yelled at a couple ahead of us in the line and I disliked that.
Overall a very good avenue to satisy your Ethiopian craving.

This place has awesome food! It was my first time trying Ethiopian cuisine and I was not disappointed. Great outdoor seating and the dishes were delicious (be prepared to use your hands). There were mistakes in handling our original order, but after we asked, our server handled it in a very professional manner, which we appreciated tremendously. We had a great experience at this restaurant.
