This restaurant should have more than 4 stars. I ordered delivery and the food was thoughtfully packaged so the injera wasn't soggy. The flavors were delicious. It would be my preference to have the cabbage and one of the lentil dishes cooked a little longer to be softer. I'm giving 5 stars to balance the lower scores--in my opinion this place should be a 4.5 or higher. So tasty and filling.

This was my first time trying Ethiopian food and it was phenomenal! The owner answered so many questions and made fantastic recommendations. The ambience of the restaurant was calm and inviting. We had such a nice evening trying new food. We'll definitely be back.

Our meal was good, def glad we came. Neither of us cared for the spongy bread though and about 1/2 of the items on the platter we got weren't to our liking. The other half however were SO good! Server was very helpful in explaining the menu. Place was mostly empty and our food came quickly. It was 5:00 on a Saturday so we were in/out fast.

Worth the visit, for sure, especially since Ethiopian options in the city are few and far between. A bit expensive for my liking, but overall had a great experience - our server was super patient with our group of 12 or so people, and gave some good recommendations of what to get. If I could highlight two things to get, I would say the Yebeg Awaze Tibs and the Ye Doro Wot were my favorites - such tender meat in the lamb dish that went super well with the spongy texture of the injera and the chicken from the Ye Doro Wot was fall-off-the-bone, delicious, and complimented very well by a hard boiled egg - begging the ever debated question of which came first... the chicken or the egg!? Some of the other dishes were just fine - reference my photo for some visuals, but just know that anything green was delicious as well :) This place is just about as authentic as you are going to find in Richmond with a large indoor space in a really cool part of town so overall I say it's worth a try!

Went there for super early dinner on a Sunday. Restaurant was empty so can't say much for the ambiance or atmosphere when it's more lively. The food though was great. Injeras were the right amount of sour to be super flavorful. Ordered a sample platter, and while it didn't look like much to start with, it definitely left me very full. I've been craving Ethiopian ever since!

Wowowow the food is sooooo so good!! We decided to come here for a birthday lunch with a big group. They accommodated us so well. The honey wine was super good and complimented the food well. We got various meats and veggies. Let me tell you, all of them were delicious. You cannot go wrong, every dish is just so flavorful. The injera was nice and spongy. Make sure to eat with your hands! Everything had a wonderful blend of spices. The veggies were curried and seasoned to perfection. They split our orders into two plates with our big group, and it was perfect. The staff were all very kind and helpful. Thank you so much! This was our second time, and it was wonderful both times. Thank you for bringing Ethiopian food to the area!

As usual being here makes me feel like home in Addis Ababa, try the Kitfo it's made by a Gorgi chef if you're Ethiopian you will know what that means Much love

Such delicious flavorful food! We ordered a lamb dish and shrimp tibs, both which come with a vegetable dish, and unlimited injera (a spongy simple tasting Ethiopian bread). Oh man it was hard to pick a favorite.. the cubed lamb tho - chewy and so flavorful. The prices are a little high, but you do get a quantity of food. We ordered two mains for us two people, and had ~1 serving of leftovers. The staff is very sweet too. Overall highly recommend if you haven't Ethiopian food before or just looking to try a new spot! We're big fans, and have now been multiple times! (Good amount of seating inside and outside too)
