So so Ethiopian food. - Edit
I was excited to see this highly rated Ethiopian place just blocks from our hotel. The food was so so. Not very spicy and kind of bland. The Tim Tim Fit Fit was too heavy on onion and the dressing which is usually tangy was pretty bland. The injera did not have that sourdough flavor of traditional injera and it was pale in color making me think they probably used standard wheat flour rather than the tradition teff. Overall it was ok, but if you’re looking to get a great traditional Ethiopian meal I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Excellent Authentic Food - Edit
By far, the best authentic Ethiopian food I have had in NYC. The honey wine is exceptional along with the staff. I highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning soon.

Solid and friendly - Edit
The waitstaff is friendly. Service can be very slow at peak hours, so leave time for a leisurely visit.

I want to give this a good review, but I can't - Edit
I've been here once and only once. It was a Friday night. The place was overcrowded and noisy. The wait to place a takeout order was about 30 minutes. The wait to get said order was another 45-60 minutes. It was considered rude to stay inside the restaurant to wait, even though the weather (and neighborhood) were crummy. The other complaints I have about the area/setup are common in NYC, so I won't bother to list them.
Read moreAs for the food itself: I ordered about $100 worth of food and barely got one meal for two people out of it. They pretty much only gave us injera. Each meal was quite tasty, but only about 2 Tablespoons worth of food each. How this place got a high Zagat rating, I'll NEVER know. I've had better Ethiopian food in a dozen other states.
Cons: LOOOOONG waits, Super small portions, Not friendly waitstaff

Great Food, Friendly Atmosphere - Edit
This is an excellent place to be introduced to Ethiopian food. Very small, but cozy. An entire section of the menu is vegan. The owners are orthodox Christians so they do not use dairy in the restaurant. They have a sampler platter with most veg dishes. Most Ethiopian restaurants serve meals on the bread, Injeera. Your food will come on injeera, but they do have eating utensils should you want them or need gluten-free. Please tell the server you prefer your food served on the plate alone. Your meal can meet your spicy heat needs from none to hot, hot, hot.
Read moreThey have wine that is good. We liked all the vegan dishes and the dressing on the avocado salad. The service was great. Not a fancy joint, but fine for a date in the trendy, funky lower east side of NYC. Perfect for catching up with friends.
Good for the price.
Pros: Great food, Friendly service, Well priced
Cons: Small restaurant
