    What a lovely wholesome restaurant. Whether it's dining in or carry out, the quality of their food is unparalleled. Staff that treats you like family, and fresh made food to fill your palate makes for a perfect meal! This no frills restaurant located inside a grocery store has some of the best Ethiopian food San Diego has to offer!

    My favorite Ethiopian restaurant in San Diego. I love going here with a group of friends and getting the meat and veggie combination plates plus an extra plate of something the chef recommends. The service is both friendly and patient which is great when Ethiopian food is somewhat unfamiliar to me. I'll be back!

    How have I not reviewed this place?! Best food ever!! I love taking people here to try Ethiopian food for the first time. I always get the meat and vegetarian combo. This can feed 2-3. 2 people if you are hungry hungry!! Comes with bread! Great service by this wonderful loving family. Parking is on the street so don't drive in circles over and over just park down the block and walk if you don't see something in the front by jacknthe crack just turn at the light, park and walk!!!

    Definitely a family owned restaurant. Owners were amazingly friendly and the food was incredible! Not good with names, but their short ribs were to die for.
