VeganPilotMartyApril 1, 2013They have a #vegan menu that they actually give out with the regular menu. You don't have to ask or even know the secret password to get it.
Russell HirschornApril 17, 2016This is two veggie and two massawa combos. A good amount for four. Veggies were much better than meat. Injeera (the bread) is meant to be sour which is a bit odd. Nice experience.
Margot MazurDecember 18, 2014Delicious food and a great happy hour. They have a full vegan menu! You can easily split an appetizer and an entree with your date. Ask for the full teff injira and be amazed.- Chris EvansOctober 12, 2015Service can take a while, but with incredibly friendly staff and some really solid veggie dishes, this place is a nice offering for the Morningside Heights area.
- Jesse BagelsApril 9, 2015Authentic style Ethiopian where you eat with your hands. Meal portions are small however, leaving you licking your fingers looking for more. Food wasn't really outstanding either but worth trying.
Elie BleierJuly 6, 2014Fantastic Eritrean option in the city. Their server Shamm is the bomb! Take her recommendation and enjoy the meal :-)- Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014Especially recommended are Duba, a pumpkin stew with berbere, tomatoes, and rosemary, and the lamb dishes. Read more
Petra LynchAugust 5, 2017The kids had a blast , perfect service and family friendly with an impressive flavor...
- Robyn GrierMarch 4, 2015Good deal for lunch, food is about what you would expect for the price. Lamb curry was tastier than chicken
Nathaniel GiraitisJanuary 15, 2012Ask for the African Beer of the Day... The Harar Beer is delicious!
Get the veggie combo! If you get it for two, you may have any combination of six!
Doris SuSeptember 13, 2011Pretty pricey, but the chicken combo an beef combo were delicious AND so fun to eat with a group :)
Anna DentonOctober 24, 2011Service a bit slow, but so worth it. Stand-outs were the spicy lamb and spicy shrimp. Amazing.
Cass CurvJanuary 25, 2012Did NOT enjoy my food. The lamb was mostly bone and fat. Almost no meat AT ALL.

"If you want something other than a roll for a bacon egg and cheese grab one from the bread section and ask the guy to toast it. It's a good alternative."
