Excellent food! Great service. This restaurant is a treat for our whole family on a regular basis. They need to open a second location on the west side of the valley so we can enjoy this more.

What can I say about this place? Have been going there for years and their food has only gotten better. Please bear in mind that their spiciness levels are low, even for the "spicy" dishes. Their injira bread is awesome, soft and fluffy. Last time, we thought they put a tad bit more baking soda. But do make it a point to visit and dine. They are awesome

I wish I can give 0 stars. The cashier lady has such a nasty and rude attitude. She was so angry and upset she got another customer in a full restaurant. I was not welcomed properly. Never answered any questions properly. Looks like they treat only people who eat there properly. If you are ordering a take away expect the rude behavior. I'm asking her how long it will take and she is rudely saying can't you see we are busy?? Is this how you treat your customers????? And you are in hospitality business!!! My God!!! Just because you have a full restaurant you think it is OK to treat other people rudely???? If you are not interested in taking up a new order you should say that in the beginning itself.you should be polite in saying that. the cashier is the worst rude lady I have ever encountered in a restaurant in my life. You will lose your customers if you have this attitude. Horrible. I ended voiding my order. Never setting foot in this horrible place where I'm treated this way. Hope all the take away customer's bring this to the restaurant notice and the cashier changes her behavior.

This was a rough decision because they have gluten free injura....but it was Ice cold. Even the one on the plate under the food...which made the food cold. We went in with high hopes.... Wanted to really like it. Another thing...I hardly ever mention restrooms in my reviews...but this is a single person restroom with a door that doesn't lock for the ladies...I mean come on...no stall...I walked up opened the door....and here was another lady just finished and getting ready to wash her hands. She was embarrassed....I was embarrassed... She said the door doesn't lock. I waited outside for her to finish.... Went in and spent some time to get it to lock. I really needed to go...so I went while being nervous someone would walk in on me. Folks...there is something wrong with that... Please fix the lock so that the average customer can figure out how to lock the door. Thanks!! Dietary restrictions: Not a gluten free kitchen but has gf injura.
