    They have the most delicious meal in town. The food is hime cooked style and nice setting. Can be very hot! The atmosphere is very friendly and for a moment thought I was Ethiopia. Highly recommended.

    Come here patient. Only one server at times so long wait. I had the all veggie Sampler Platter with the rolled bread they call Injera. I enjoyed the meal. Also the Ethiopian coffee is good :-)

    You can't beat the Queens Eight Platter. You'll get a variety of meat and veggies, and can choose which items you'd like or let them pick an assortment

    We came here on a night they were hosting a wedding party, and the service was still good for the rest of us.
