I had two lentil sambusa and the meat lover's combo and it was a pretty good time. I normally have no trouble cleaning my plate, but that bread is really filling!
The restaurant is a part of Royal Rooster and goes under a different name: Shewa's Carry-out
Many vegetarian options and good portion sizes. If you don't know what to get try a platter! Nice spices. Friendly staff. Will return.
Def a hidden gem; their Ethiopian food is amazing! The Ethiopian special - even though they serve American food, that's all I get - comes with ample portions and they don't charge a lot. You can definitely make two meals out of the special. Compared to other Ethiopian joints, this spot gives WAAYYY more than the average..and if you've been to several, you know what average looks like. I'm attaching pics of the food (but they don't really do the spot justice) and menu since I could never find one when I was searching online. (Let me know if it helps!) Long as they are around and I'm in the area, I'll be a returning customer for life.
This is a great place for those who enjoy vegan options like myself. I am Ethiopian and all of my fav foods are Ethiopian veterinarian dishes. What makes this place different is the sheer deliciousness and joy on every bite consumed. If you haven't had Ethiopian food before, no worries just ask for suggestion at the counter. For instance, you can try veterinarian dishes which include lentil that has mild sauce, potato and mild sauce, spinach or collard green, cabbage, beets, and much more.
I love Ethiopian food and I like trying different the places. This was my first time going here and I’m happy to say I had a great experience customer service wise as well as the food was Delicious!! I would definitely recommend this place if you want some great tasting food. The presentation of the food was beautiful!! Try it out.
