“It my go-to spot to order Ethiopian food and I don't even like Injera, lol :) Honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything on their menu (tried most of it), but if I had to recommend one thing, it would be the "Quanta Firfir", It's my personal favorite. You also have to try their traditional coffee, it is simply perfect.”
“The ambience and service was great, there were a lot of people here around lunchtime. We had the ginger tea, special spiced tea, traditional coffee, Samosa., chechebsa & a meat& rice dish. It was my first time trying chechebsa and while I don’t like spicey foods, it was an interesting flavor profile to have the spicy Injera pieces with honey for dipping.”
“We are long term Addis residents, and this is probably our favorite place for traditional Ethiopian food. It's delicious and affordable: we recommend the Temsalet Combo for 3-4 people, only 570etb! The recent renovations make the environment great with the big wood slab tables and carved chairs. The servers are a pleasure to interact with. IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN THERE, GO NOW!”
