I was looking for a good Ethiopian restaurant in Rome to take my Ethiopian father. After doing some research, I chose this place. We, a group of four, arrived late in the evening, and I was quite worried that the kitchen would be closed. Luckily, there were no issues, even though my father basically ordered the whole menu. The food was great, and the staff was super kind, helpful, and very patient. The place is clean, and I love that it doesn't look like a stereotypical Ethiopian restaurant from the 90s (I've been to too many). It's modern with a minimal decor that still clearly conveys its African identity. The experience was 10/10. I'll be back whenever I can and have already recommended it to others. Congratulations on your successful business guys, and keep up the great work!

I was really satisfied both with the food and the service. We were around 9 people and all of us were satisfied. The dishes are really filling and worth the price. plus the staff were super polite.

Incredible experience.

Vegan options, wonderful meat and sizes.
Not too spicy and not too spiced. Just the right level of everything 😍

It was my first time trying Ethiopian food and I loved it.
Eating with the hands is not my thing but I loved it too!

If I should say something negative would be the waiting time, I do believe the lady needs someone to help her! However, the food was so good it was worth the wait though!
I'm still dreaming the favours!

Will definitely go again without a doubt!!!
