Mischa SchlichtingMay 11, 2017I thought this was absolutely fantastic. My first time to an Ethiopian restaurant so I wasn't really sure what to expect. Our waiter gave suggestions and they were perfect. Food was amazing!
Drew BelzMarch 11, 2015THE PEOPLE. The food is AN EASY 11.0 but that is only second to the most amazing people you'll ever meet. There might be a portal between our table and the seventh heaven.
Best Ethiopian!! Don't be afraid to just pick random items off the menu, it's all delicious & has great flavor!
Yebeg Alicha, Zilzil Grilled Tibs(lamb), and Derek Tibs are really good. Try the traditional honey wine (Tej) from the drinks.
Easily the best Ethiopian restaurant in the city, and very friendly and helpful owners and staff; if going as a large group, call ahead and let them put the menu together
Chicago magazineMay 8, 2012Meals are served on freshly made injera bread and eaten with your fingers. Each entrée comes with three sides and a separate basket of injera use for scooping. Very veggie friendly. Read more
Avrom litinJune 10, 2016Great food at Reasonable prices. Just a warning when the say a dish is spicy they mean it! Love their teas!
Anand VishwanathMay 25, 2014The bere bere sauce here is to die for. Especially on the chicken Doro wat.
Emilio COctober 21, 2012Amazing vegetarian food. The spices and shared dining environment is awesome.
Jared SchulmanOctober 23, 2011The Tuskan (Kenyan beer) is delicious. Goes great with spicier dishes.
Make a reservation or expect to wait on fridays and saturdays!
Great ethiopian food! One of my favorite places for it. Live music some nights.
carol mjosethMarch 2, 2010Yummy and fun for a group though a bit confusing to order. Don't skip the honey wine.
Jeffrey SumberAugust 31, 2010Can not help getting super sick every time I eat here but it hasn't changed my love for the place.
