Customer Reviews
EXCELLENT Based on 244 reviews Daaka Jewelry2025-04-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My favorite restaurant. I’ve probably been to all of the Ethiopian restaurants and for me, they have the best fresh flavors. I always get the veggie combo, and I always feel so blessed to eat it. Ive had the meat dishes, they are very good too, but veggies are usually my preference when I eat out. My ONLY criticism is the Sambusa. They can be better. Other than that GO! Please.

Maria Villa2025-03-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stumbled upon this place for dinner with a friend and what a delightful find! The service was very warm and welcoming and made the whole experience extra special. The food was delicious. We shared the veggie and meat combo and it was the perfect amount of food. We left feeling full in our stomachs and in our spirits. Ruth Chan2025-03-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely delicious. The food is delicious, fresh, colorful and beautifully presented. We come here at least twice a month (would be more if we didn’t live so far!). Definitely give them a try — you won’t be disappointed! I recommend their combo meat and veggies platter and their kitfo. Walter H2025-03-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The food was fine. The portions were very small but it did taste good. There was only one person working there and I ended up waiting several minutes just to be seated because he was elsewhere. He forgot my drink too. Overall disappointed. joshua mahlum2025-03-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great food tastes portion size, and the presentation is superb. Every time i eat there, I can not get enough. If you are a vegetarian, then you have to grab someone and eat. The Doro wot is exquisite, and the kitfo, the meat quality is to perfection and spicy which has a nice balance Chrissie Manion Zaerpoor2025-03-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Delicious, authentic Ethiopian food. They were out of mead, so instead I had an Ethiopian beer, and that was good too. Super-friendly and welcoming staff.
