Amazing food. Went for lunch and had great service. Got the Doro Wat and Shiro Wat and they were each amazing. There were plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. Would definitely come back! There is also gluten-free injera which was cool.
Met with others for lunch and ordered the meat and veggy combo family style, along with fish goulash. Food was great and looked good too.
Do remember what to expect when coming here! Ethiopian food means no utensils but your hands and the injera bread you're using. There's an option for gluten-free injera for those who may care. We didn't get it ourselves and had a plate for each of us to dig in.
With tax and tip, ended up a tad over $20 a person. Will definitely try again if I'm in the area in the future.
I love this place - it has everything that you want from a Pho restaurant near a city center. The pho is excellent, the ambiance is the perfect balance of authentic and modern, the service is very fast, and the portions are very filling! I love getting Pho here, and always receive happy remarks when I bring visiting friends here from out of town. The menu has regular pho options, as well as gluten free, and a vegan option.
Usually whenever my partner and I go there the service is pretty friendly :D also one of the employees gave my boyfriend the menu nutrition facts for what is gluten free cause of his celiac’s disease they are very knowledgeable and kind about making sure the food is safe for him to eat and that’s a very good quality when we look for places to eat at we don’t know that employees name but thank you for being kind to us :D we came back today and as usual very nice people.
The food here is amazing. The owner is super nice. The vibe is very happy and friendly and busy.
I called to check they are open and they were super helpful on the phone.
The owner was there seeing that guests were happy and also he and his sister are cooking the food as well and overseeing it all.
The taste of the food is excellent. The portions are very big. One combo platter can feed 4 people if not 5!
They can easily make it gluten free just specify. It’s also dairy free. They have vegan options as well as meat options.
Seriously SO GOOD! They have gluten free options good ones! Also vegetarian options. Very affordable prices. Very friendly service, we tipped 20% because the guy was just so helpful. Definitely recommend!
My spouse and my favorite Ethiopian restaurant. Tasty, sharable portions. Also, they have gluten-free teff injera, but call ahead to make sure they have it in stock before placing your to go order. They sometimes run out later in the night.
This place has gone downhill recently. Just had Sunday brunch with 2 friends. 1 drink order was wrong. A bloody merry order came out with 80% concentrated mixer. It was visibly green and un drinkable. The “corrected” drink order was the wrong size and the replacement bloody merry order came out 15 minutes later and after our food was out. The food was mediocre at best. The sandwich we ordered with a gluten free bread substitution came out as 2 separate sandwiches on 4 pieces of gluten free bread. They separated the guts of one sandwich to make 2 crappy sandwiches for no reason we could think of. Just bizarre. Service was slow (Not unexpected for a Sunday brunch). The building is falling apart (The stairs to the bathroom are dangerous).
This place used to be great. It’s a real bummer.
They used to have a decent gluten free pizza crust, but unfortunately the recipe changed and it tastes the same quality that you could get frozen. I enjoy their pizza but at 26 + $4 surcharge for mid to poor quality gf crust its absolutely not worth it. Don't you just love paying extra for something that is smaller and worse quality. Just wanted to give a heads up for any other celiacs out there! I emailed asking if they might consider changing it back and did not get a response.
This place is an amazing vegetarian/vegan place. they have two menus, one vegetarian and one non-veg. I only ever go here for vegetarian food. it is very good. The Moonlight special is my favorite dish to get here. it's so simple and delicious. it's a roll your own spring roll sort of deal, you add what you want. their "pork" skewers are spot on and very well marinated.
Their Lemongrass gluten dish is also up there. the gluten is their protein source and its crispy and seasoned very well. eaten with rice and its so good.
added pictures as a testament to how many times we’ve eaten here. yes they’re all different days
the first time we went in because we were broke, had just moved into an apartment nearby, and wanted to watch the game.
we only ordered drinks that day, but we saw and *smelt* what everyone around us was ordering, and vowed to come back and eat when we could afford it.
i take a picture every time for the memories, hence how they’ve accumulated. i’m sure ive missed some out as well.
we get the meat platter which is what you see here. when we’re on a smaller budget we get the veggie platter, which is also very good. the service here is always excellent. they make you feel like a welcome friend. they offer gluten free injera if you need it.
a good selection of draft beer, and i love their spiced ice tea.
thankful for this place on a rainy day. we will be sad when we move away someday.
So good, and didn’t poison me! I have celiac disease so that’s a very big win for me.
They are completely gluten free. My boyfriend who is also celiac called and asked about how they prepare the food, it sounds like there is some minimal potential for exposure (they work in a kitchen where other people are cooking with gluten, so while no gluten touches their food or equipment there’s the potential for like bits of flour dust in the air and low chance things like that happening) but for me personally it’s within my risk profile and I am unharmed after eating here! :)
Very reasonable prices as well! $20 for a meat and 2 sides. Just keep in mind there isn’t really a place to sit, you grab your box and go, but the food is absolutely worth it. There’s a cute little park a couple minutes walk away with tables that worked perfectly.
Highly highly highly recommend!! The cornbread is gluten free and tastes great and the ribs are amazing
