For sure a basic dive - practically no ambiance other than iconic wood paneling. But the food!!! It's amazing. I had the doro wot. It was out of this world. Service was very friendly and good.
Food was just okay. It wouldn't be my first choice for getting Ethiopian food but the bartender was so attentive and always ready to answer questions. It's an interesting combo between sports bar...
The best Ethiopian food around! Lovely staff and friendly, laid-back atmosphere. There's a bar, a dining area, pool tables and outdoor seating.
True - it is a dive bar, so you know what to expect for ambiance, but every time we've gone it's exceeded our expectations. Staff and clients are friendly, and the food is amazing. Really solid...
