Injera and Portion Size Issues
My experience at the restaurant was alright. The injera could have been better if it was more fermented, and the portion size was a bit small.

Exceptional Ethiopian Food and Atmosphere
My experience at this Ethiopian restaurant was truly special. The food was amazing, with top quality and flavors that stood out. Beyond the incredible food, the atmosphere was something special, rated a 5 out of 5.
The service was also excellent, receiving a perfect 5 out of 5. It's a place I highly recommend, especially for vegetarians, as they have a large vegetarian selection. Parking was easy with free street parking and plenty of spaces.
The wait time was non-existent, and the noise level was quiet, making conversation easy.

Authentic Ethiopian Gem in SD!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I enjoyed authentic Ethiopian cuisine, and the staff were incredibly nice. The injere and Shiru were excellent.
It's also very reasonably priced. This will definitely be my go-to place when I'm in San Diego!

Unique Ethiopian Experience with a Sour Twist
My experience at this restaurant, run by an Ethiopian from Africa, was quite unique. The establishment has been in business for many years and boasts a very unique style, full of local cultural characteristics. The owner was very enthusiastic and provided guidance on how to order.
Traditionally, Ethiopian meals are served on a large injera, a type of flatbread, topped with various stews, meats, and vegetables. We ate by tearing off pieces of the injera and using them to scoop up the dishes, which was a distinctive experience. If you’ve never tried Ethiopian food before, it’s worth a visit.
However, the injera has a sour taste overall, and neither my friend nor I were quite accustomed to it—but it was all part of the experience.

Excellent Ethiopian Food and Drinks
My experience at the restaurant was excellent. We enjoyed the Ethiopian wine and beer, which paired very well together. I opted for the veggie plate, while my partner savored the lamb.
The food was outstanding, and the atmosphere was also a perfect 5/5. We experienced no wait time, making the overall visit seamless.

Excellent Food, Service, and Ambiance
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic. I found the food to be great, particularly the ginger tea which was amazing. I really enjoyed the meat combo, especially since I usually opt for the vegan combo but decided to try something new this time, and it did not disappoint.
The environment was very nice, perfect for having a pleasant conversation with my friend, and the music was not too loud. The service was excellent, and the overall atmosphere was very enjoyable.
