Delicious restaurant. The food takes a while to come out so you need to be patient but definitely worth the wait

Nice place. Beautiful decor. Have tried several ethiopian restaurants in Amsterdam This one was tasty, and well balanced. Slightly different style of serving.

I first visited this eatery about 10 years ago and finally was able to fit it in again this visit. Just as great as I remembered. And the coconut beer served in real coconut shells is the real.deal.

Food is AMAZING, service super nice, and the atmosphere is great. I recomend this place 100%!!! I wish the honey wine was stronger though - it felt a bit watery.

The girl serving us was absolutely amazing! She was kind, calm, smiled all the time. Food was also great. I cant speak about how authentic it is but it was one of the tastiest dishes I have ever had and the portions were big.
