“ authentic food ! Hearty meal! Lovely owner , cool location. Oh and great coffee! Check it out! ”
“ The story from a friend on this restaurant, was a story of a great night he had with others. Then being informed they serve Ethiopian food, had me excited as I'd wanted to try the cuisine for ages. As soon as you walk into the restaurant it has such a cool, cultured, artistic, and chilled atmosphere. The venue is a restaurant/coffee shop during the day, and will quickly transform into a little party venue on some nights which is very cool and something I want to check. The owner was very welcoming and friendly, adding to the start of an amazing experience. When the food arrived my eyes had seen my prize of a beautiful and colourful plate. Christmas came early, and there were a lot of presents to eat. However the one thing I was eager to try was injera and how it accompanies each different dish on offer. The texture is so fluffy, springy, and tasty. Think crepes, but with a bit more air and texture. The food is appealing in every sense, giving you the right kind of fuel to help you live and smile another day. We also drank an Ethiopian beer that was so refreshing and tasty with a slight sweetness, which perfectly paired with the food. My first experience of Ethiopian cuisine and culture was so beautiful, this place is a real gem. You will have a lovely experience as soon as you walk through the door, continuing that feeling once you leave before returning for more! ”
“ My husband Davis introduced me here. He comes for what he calls authentic coffee. I have been coming for some injera ever since. If you want a meal for which your body thanks you for, this it. Healthy, vegan and tasty. Also the ginger tea is NOT a teabag but real warming ginger and lemon blended to order. They have a restaurant but after a certain time, I believe they are located in the square which is where I ate. The fact that it was raining did not prevent me from enjoying this healthy meal under the parasol. Also the price is purse is definitely friendly! ”
