Delicious delicious delicious. The vegetable combo for two is a healthy hearty romantic food adventure dream. The Ethiopian beer is refreshing molasses heaven.

Very good food and good service in a simple dining room. Wine by the glass, kategna appetizer and a Ghenet combination platter of a stew and 2 vegetables was a delicious satisfying meal with leftovers to take home.

Please bare with me after an 18 day absence, this is the perfect way to break the blank, eating a cuisine I have never tried before. All the Simpsons' episodes, and all the conversation in the world could not prepare me for what I was about to eat. There is a reason Ethiopian cuisine is an unworldly cuisine, and I was about to get a front row seat as to why that is. When I first walked in, I saw them issue me to a brunch menu. Slightly disappointed, I asked them about their dinner menu and requesting I try their Doro Watt (chicken) stew combination. It comes with two other vegetarian stews of my choosing, They obliged, if I were willing to wait a little longer for it. I was fine with that. Along with the Doro Wett, I got the Atkilt Wett, which contains potatoes, carrots, and cabbage, along with the Misir Wett, a spicy lentil stew. It all comes with a plentiful amount of Injera, an Ethiopian flatbread you use to pick up the food and eat it with. There are no utensils in Ethiopian cuisine. To my surprise, the food comes out fast, and it looks beautiful and is very hot, both in flavor and in texture. It also tastes absolutely amazing. Imagine your tastebuds waking up for the first time. That is how this feels with every single bite you take of this food. Excellent flavors, excellent textures, and the Injera is the perfect tool to make this work exceptionally well. The spice level is perfect, but if you have trouble with spice, then perhaps this is not the cuisine for you. If you run out of Injera, just ask for more. They will give it to you at no additional cost. I do feel this is a cuisine best for sharing. I tried my best to power through and finish this all myself, but the bread is just too powerful. It is like a sour pancake, but it will expand your stomach faster than Wonka's Everlasting Gobstopper. Other than that, partake generously in all the amazing and aromatic flavors and enjoy. As it is only a short walk from the Union St subway station, you can certainly afford to make this worthwhile experience several times over, that is if your stomach and your tastebuds acquiesce to this life altering and unworldly cuisine.

The Ghenet combination for 4 was absolutely delicious. You get 2 veg, one specialty main for each portion. So a total of (don't fret I did the math for you) 12 dishes to try. In an attempt to not spoil too much of the experience I'll keep it brief: Best eaten with your hands, get in there. Best eaten with friends who will also eat with their hands. Okay but they also provide forks. Try the honey wine, on the sweet side hence the name but I enjoyed trying it ($12 a glass) Some stews are spicer than others, this turned into a game for my non spicy friend. The special, because shared in a single platter, can be a bit intimate. I really enjoyed the service and experience here. I hope they add desserts that are more unique to the Ethiopian region. Would be Interested to experience.

This place was phenomenal! To clear up the menu on the combinations when they say pick two veggies and one meat stew it increases as you add people so for us with four people we got to pick six vegetables and four meat stews.

This is my absolute favorite Ethiopian restaurant. It was one of the first I visited. I've tried several since and nothing compares. The front area near the bar has ten or so tables and there is more seating in the back. They don't take reservations, but it is usually quiet with no wait to be seated. Pretty much all of the vegetarian stews are amazing. Particularly noteworthy are the engoudaye tibs. I haven't found this dish at other Ethiopian restaurants and it's delicious. The mushrooms are tender and plump and complemented perfectly with the savory sauce. The shiro wett (spicy beans), atkilt wett (cabbage, potatoes, and carrots), and yedubba wett (butternut squash) are also top choices. The combination platters come with unlimited injera which is a squishy, slightly sour bread. It is customary to eat everything with your hands. The food is super filling. The restaurant is just a 10 minute walk from the Barclays Center so I always make a point to visit whenever I'm going to an event there.
