I think we just found our favourite Ethiopian restaurant in the Washington/Maryland/Virginia area. Prices were great, the chef was constantly checking with us and community regulars on how the food was. It was interesting to read up on the chef and the restaurant's history.
The best part is the food. We were stuffed at the end but it was hard to stop since everything was so delicious. Definitely a restaurant to take visitors to the area to.

This may be my new go-to for Ethiopian food. Every bite of our dish was incredible! We ordered the VIP combo platter with beef and lamb, and we cleared the whole platter between the two of us. The lentils were probably our favorite side with how flavorful they were. They offer gluten-free injera as well as regular. The staff was so kind and helped us with our order, and were very accommodating to my child who isn't used to eating Ethiopian. Even the chef came out and asked us how we enjoyed our dinner, which was a nice gesture. I absolutely recommend this family-friendly restaurant for your next Ethiopian/Eritrean meal!

Rib Tips
As a vegetarian family, we always go for the veggie combo in almost every Ethiopian restaurant. We got a veggie combo to go. But it was different than the others. The flavours and aroma created by spices and herbs slightly differed from other restaurants in the area. Portion size is good- unless you are starving you can have 2 meals out of one combo. They have a bar too (both alcohol and espresso)

very underrated place! vegetarian options were delicious and the owner made us surprise drinks which were so refreshing! worth every penny!
we tried their biggest vegetarian platter.
This is our go to Ethiopian spot in Alexandria. We go at least a few times a month for takeout. I always get the veggie combo. Consistent every time and delicious. The parking lot can be a bit chaotic but otherwise love this place.

VIP platter *chef’s kiss*
One member of our party couldn’t handle spicy food, but the VIP platter was a perfect choice. Honey wine was excellent. Our server Yeti was superb. Will definitely be back!
