Erta Ale Ethiopian

The food was fantastic! All of the staff were very friendly and welcoming. They shared about the different entrees. It has a cozy and comfortable atmosphere, and it is easy to eat vegan and gluten free if you prefer. We will definitely be going back!

My wife, brother and I came here because it had such good reviews and because they can accommodate gluten free dietary restrictions. They did not disappoint. We've eaten at quite a few Ethiopian restaurants over the years and in different cities and this was undoubtedly the best. We got their sampler to share meat and veggie options and it was fantastic. It tastes really fresh, the spices were on point and the staff was very kind and prompt. Wish we didn't live out of town- we'd love to eat there more often.

The staff is great, and the management is wonderful. Amy and DJ [the owners] are just sweet, solid couple, and their restaurant boasts some of the best Ethiopian I've ever had, either here or in Louisiana. They served me the collards, which was flavored so well on its own, but went so perfectly with this chickpea sauce and bread wrap...Turns out, the bread wrap is called Injera, and has "practically no gluten" and is nutrient rich. The beef they got me (I think it was "Lega Tibs?") was so good and mellow, I could eat it all day.. I brought some home to my wife, and she thought the exact same. We've gotta go back. And the coffee! Dude, the coffee—with no additives whatsoever—is the most chocolatey tasting, non-acidic or bitter, smooth coffee I've ever had. And I worked at a Roastery for 3 years. We had some darn good coffee, but you've gotta try this. It's made in this unique, small pan, made-to-order, fresh-roasted process.. The place is now my go-to Ethiopian spot. And the portions were good!! Can't forget that!! May God bless 'em more than He already is. And may He bless you if you try them out—they're good people who do good work.
