service		“...Water glasses filled promptly and repeatedly, and friendly (and just attentive enough) service, in a restaurant at 75% capacity, was a pleasure.... “...Eating here was my first time ever having Ethiopian cuisine, but I'd read/heard a lot about it so I had a good idea of what to expect -- no utensils and most everything is eaten with injera, the sticky spongy sourdough-like bread (which by itself is sour enough to take you a little by surprise, but you get used to it and it is accompanied well by the flavorful entrees served with it)...

But well worth it, everything is tasty and good value too!...
ethiopian		“... For the new-to-ethiopian, you do eat with your hands so maybe not the BEST choice for a first date but certainly a 4th! The smell of the doro wat stays embedded in your fingers for at least a full day! Of course I am not ethiopian and my injera technique leaves much to be desired! The bar is a bit of an afterthought so stick to beer or try the honey wine (I cannot vouch for it as I always stay with the tried and true King Fisher Lager)... “... This is the only ethiopian I've tried in nyc, but I guess the west coast has spoiled me in that it is probably one of the more disappointing Ethiopia meals I've had... “..."Excellent, no frills ethiopian food. Always delicious & fresh...

It was safe to say I was a bit incredulous, first off the 1980s food crisis is nothing to laugh at and second of all the food is far from sand... “...
