Bonnie ChenMay 27, 2014Everything was so good. Definitely get the combination if it's your first time here. You get to try a little bit of everything so next time you come here, you know what to get!Upvote2Downvote
Jorge VargasJanuary 26, 2014Sambrusas are great to startsnd share (two portions). The Addis Red Sea Combo for two is amazing! Ask for the traditional Ethiopian sour bread (tef). 10 times better!!!Upvote1Downvote
Jesse AngelinoJanuary 13, 2015Memorable place for me and an old lady friend.Service is prompt and helpful for first timers trying Ethiopian food.The dishes are fantastic and the places layout and ambience are soothing and exotic.-UpvoteDownvote
Cameron RyanOctober 15, 2013Get the combo platter w/beef. Spicy, savory & big enough for 4-6people to eat. I had their coffee, which they roast & grind in-house.UpvoteDownvote
AazAugust 3, 2015I've eaten a lot of Ethiopian food both in Ethiopia, in DC and in other cities and it simply did not compare. The food, including the injera, just simply did not have its authentic taste.UpvoteDownvote
The staff are very kind and helpful. Share a veggie or combo for two to try lots of things!UpvoteDownvote
Shailja DedakiaAugust 7, 2014Order veg combos, instead of a separate dish. The food is really good but they sometimes don't accept credit/debit cards. Cash becomes a hustle. Check with them before you place an order.Upvote1Downvote
A SMarch 15, 2015They have enough variety for vegetarians too. I would like the dishes to be served hotter than now.

Stephanie OrmeApril 8, 2013Good food, TERRIBLE service. 40 min wait for food, water never got refilled, and when we got our check, the waitress told us it was cash only, so my husband had to run to an atm.UpvoteDownvote

"one of the best coffee shops in Boston. The espresso based beverages are constantly good, and the draft latte is a must try (try the Tan & Black instead for something less airy and more substantial)"

"Espresso drinks and sandwiches are great here, Get the cappuccino!"

"Am a fan of Chef Karen from Top Chef and this restaurant didn’t disappoint. Loved the flavor combos and how light everything was (compared to how heavy and dense American Italian food tends to be)"
