Great Ethiopian Food - Edit
I had dinner here recently and everything was delicious, so flavorful. The staff were very nice as well. You can either order dishes to share with others (platters) or individual dishes to enjoy on your own.

Ethiopian Vegan Cuisine - Edit
While I wouldn't typically consider myself an Ethiopian food enthusiast, I must admit that this restaurant has pleasantly challenged my preconceptions. Their dishes were bursting with an array of flavors, each bite introducing me to a new and exciting culinary adventure.

Delicious squash sambusa - Edit
The staff and ambiance was great. We sat outside under heating lamps on a cooler November night and stayed warm.
Read moreI LOVED the squash sambusas. They were creamy and delicious.
We also got both of the platters. Both were delicious, but they were on par with other Ethiopian platters I've tried elsewhere. My husband and I both preferred the piassa platter (over the mercato platter), even though we usually like spicy and it did not seem spicy at all.
Pros: Squash sambusa, Amazing staff, Outdoor seating w/ heat lamps

Try the seitan tibs! - Edit
We came here with a couple friends and got the azifa app, mercato and piassa platters, ras special tibs (seitan) entree, dulet (mushroom) entree, and a side of hot sauce. Nothing was very spicy but it was still good. The azifa was served with injera chips and was not as flavorful as other azifa I’ve had but we still enjoyed it. The 2 platters were both good but none of the wots really stood out. They benefited by the addition of hot sauce. The seitan tibs was the overalls favorite and I highly recommend it for future visits.
Read morePros: Seitan tibs!

Flavorful food - Edit
Flavorful food, attentive staff, and nice atmosphere. Plenty of spicy and mild options as well as a rotating dessert.
Read moreI ordered the Piassa platter and my favorite parts were the difin missir (brown lentil), yater kik (yellow split pea), and alicha shiro (mild chickpea).
The staff pointed out all the gluten free options on the menu as well.

Fantastic Ethiopian food - Edit
I love Ethiopian food and this spot is fantastic. All Ethiopian places have a good vegan section but it’s nice to have a dedicated vegan spot that makes vegan versions of some dishes that aren’t traditionally vegan. Nice vibe and cool staff too. Everything is great!

Fave restaurant in NYC - Edit
This has become my favorite restaurant in NYC, practically the only place I eat if not at home! The food is absolutely delicious and wholesome, you can taste the love. The staff is so warm and welcoming, the food comes out quickly and the atmosphere is warm, filled with plants and colorful art. We love taking friends for a fun dinner and introducing them to this gem. (Also so convenient to several subway lines!!)
Read morePros: Delicious, Healthful, Good value

Okay - Edit
The flavors all blended together and the restaurant was poorly managed. Everyone was trying to get a waiters attention. Too many people, not enough space

Very nice - Edit
This totally vegan establishment serves tasty updates on the classics, as well as bowls, and other innovative takes on Ethiopian fare. The food is also "real" without many factory meat substitutes; so a nice, healthy menu.
Read moreOn the less-than side: the injera chips were quite oily; many of the beverage options were sold out (Monday lunch)
The service was excellent and the location is excellent. 100% vegan

Modern twist on Ethiopian food - Edit
Lovely interior with tons of charm. Staff was friendly and accommodating.
Read moreNot the best Ethiopian food I've ever had, but it was still good. The injera was really dry, and maybe we just didn't get the best batch.
Oddly enough, I loved everything besides the entrees.
Both kinds of sambusa are delicious. The Bole Bowl is incredible and has tons of great flavor. Mac n cheese is good, and their cheesecakes are amazing.
Pros: Vegan, Unique
Cons: Pricy

Nice, Quick, Satisfying - Edit
Came here for lunch with a friend. We shared the mercato platter. It was a good amount of food for two people, but maybe something additional would be good for anyone with an above-average appetite.
Read moreThe food was delicious. It got to the table really quickly, like five minutes. Staff were friendly, efficient, and very knowledgeable of the menu.

Fantastic spot - Edit
The food and service here weee both amazing. I’d had Ethiopian food before but hadn’t dined here before and the server explained the whole menu, made recommendations, checked on how we were (but not too much) and the food and great. We tried one of the platters and the sambusas - both delicious. Would love to return one day.

Fabulous! - Edit
The amazing ambiance hits you right as you walk in. The walls are covered by beautiful art and plants hang from the ceiling. There is a beautifully lit bar and DJ nest. The menu has so many things that seem delicious it’s hard to pick! We went with the piassa platter, the Mercato platter, the sambusas, and the mushroom tibs. All the good was epic! The drinks were delish as well. Also has orthodox kosher certification.
