So happy to read that Genet came back to serve meals at her restaurant Fri-Sun, it is an eating experience you will not forget. My kids tried foods they would not normally have tried and of course loved eating with injera. You need reservations, take your waiter's suggestions on what to eat, it doesn't require much research prior to going. Wonderful place for vegetarian and people with GF restrictions. Afterwards, Genet herself came out to check on how everyone had liked the meal, what a blessing it is to have her still cooking.
Still the best experience for Ethiopian food. Great ambience, service and of course the food is fantastic!
i've tried many Ethiopian restaurants in LA, West Philadelphia, and DC, and this was the driest (not saucy) food I've tried--which we didn't really like. More details: We were four people and we ordered take-out for Sunday dinner. We ordered 6 items from menu and here's what we thought: Kitfo (very plain tasting and dry); medium-spiced dorowot (good flavor and the sauciest of the dishes we tried); alitcha kik yellow peas (just ok); gomen (good but other places make it a bit more flavorful); mesir red lentils (very dry and too hard for our liking); azifa (very wasabe-flavored, we would've liked it more saucy). We put the items on the injera and the injera didn't soak up any flavors. We were disappointed and we do not recommended it.
