I visit this family run restaurant at least once a week. I always have the veggie combo, so my review is limited to that. The owner and chef makes the veggies everyday, and the quality backs up that claim. She makes her own injera as well. She has a wide variety of veggies, and once in a while, she experiments with an additional veggie for us to try. This makes my visits a bit different every time, in a good way. The pricing is quite attractive, and they accept cards including AMEX. All the staff are friendly, and can get pleasantly chatty if you would like.

Visited here with my friends yesterday. Sunny, there owner of this cafe is the perfect host. She offers generous portions of the combo meal and on free days also explains each item on the plate. We ordered the veggie combo and loved whats on there plate. A combo plate is perfect for two. Theres also a coffee ceremony that sunny conducts on a Sunday which apparently has the best Ethiopian coffee served after an elaborate process. This cafes prices are extremely affordable and its a great experience dining here.

The food was delicious! The goat was our favorite! The Chai was also -amazing-! We will definitely be going back. I would say that if you plan on going be patient and put any of your restaurant expectations aside- this is a somewhat of a Somalian social club (people are in and out all the time, Im not sure who works there and who is just helping the owners out) so that is its target audience. That said, we felt very welcome.

This is the first time Ive had ethiopian cuisine and it was delicious! Ive never had such a pleasing blend of spiciness in food before. The lone chef/server was very friendly and despite a stiflingly warm dining area (it was pretty warm today) my friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals! The mint coffee at the end was just perfect. Presentation of the food was also great!

Excellent, authentic, well-prepared food, with generous portions. We loved it! Better than expected, and recommend to take someone for their first Ethiopian food. The owner is lovely, so sociable, and her cooking has the same good vibration. Everyone in Seattle will enjoy and the restaurant so clean....... Ayalew ....from Raya

Have been here too many times now which means I love the place. Every time I go we order the veggie comb and 1 veggie combo is more than sufficient for 2 people. Loved everything that was served, generous portions and its interesting how the host explains what goes on the plate every single time. Definitely recommend.

Service is slow as it is a one woman show, but the food and presentation fantastic. Ive eaten at many great Ethiopian places and it is one of my favorite cuisines. This ranks up at the top. There are items on the menu I have never seen before. Price point is excellent. A lot of food for a very reasonable price.

The best Ethiopian food ever, anywhere! Beautifully seasoned, served by friendly, attentive people. Managed by someone who clearly puts a lot of care and skill into preparing the food. The veggie combo goes way beyond the normal range of items and flavors. The green beans are amazing.

Had a crepe madame and it was delicious. The coffee was great and the service was the best. The value to quality ratio is great, I really recommend this place and I will absolutely be returning on this same trip. They have several options for breakfasts of all tastes and kinds.

My first taste of Euthopian food and this place did not disappoint. Had the meat combo plate with the collard greens (best I have ever tasted) and every item was superb. Highly recommend if you have never tried this type of food before. I will be going back.

It is the best Ethiopian food ever. It is like having your favorite grandmas food every time I come here. Very sweet owner. Nice waitress. Very homely place. The meat combo is my favorite. And the kitfo is to die for. Amazing place.

Service is great when Sunny is not busy. Spent a summer in Ethiopia so food here exactly the flavors I encountered in Ethiopia. I now rat here 2-3 times a week. Food is healthy and filling. Prices are extremely reasonable.

Awesome Ethiopian restaurant! Very cute and minimal. The food is definitely amazing, and the owner is so kind and sweet. Heads up: It will look like it is closed, especially if you go at an off-peak hour, but it is not.

Wait staff were friendly and just the right amount of available/doting. Food was delicious. Ordered the The Combo Platter (meat), and portion size was huge. Great selection of flavors and texture.

The woman who runs this place is incredibly sweet and the cost for the combo plates is absurdly low for how good the food is.
