Delicious vegan food

We got the vegan sampler and this was the best Ethiopian food I’ve ever had. The lentils were particularly delicious. The coconut sorbet was also excellent.

Pros: Food, Price, Location

Delicious vegan options

Several vegan options, the ones my party tried were delicious. It is not cheap, but this is NYC after all.

Cozy and Delicious

Cozy/borderline crowded, but still delicious Ethiopian cuisine in a comfortable and laid-back environment. The Vegan Sampler was both tasty and filling. This was my first time trying Ethiopian, so nothing to compare it to, but I enjoyed the experience.

Great food but a little pricy

The food is great, no doubt about it. And the price is in line with New York. but compared to Ethiopian food internationally it’s extortionate. It’s $23 for a single vegan plate without a tip.

Pros: Great food

Cons: Expensive

Delicious Ethiopian food

This is a charming Ethiopian restaurant with a few vegan choices. We chose the vegan sampler; it was delicious and very filling. As is typical with Ethiopian food, the bread serves as the plate as well as the utensil, but don't be shy to ask for a fork and spoon if you need it.

Pros: Good value, filling., Delicious food.
