    Injera served with spiced stewed chicken in a reddish-brown sauce, accompanied by yellow split peas, sautéed green beans with carrots, and seasoned lentils, creating a vibrant and communal dining experience.

    Amazing food, taste so delicious... Great service... Definitely worth it to try... I love spicy !!High recommended

    The food was great and the restaurant has nice decorations. The place is always so cold though and the portion could have been bigger.

    The atmosphere was great but the food wasn’t authentic. The Doro wat (spicy chicken) tasted like a chicken stew.

    Excellent vegan food and good service. My only gripe is that at payment you are asked, electronically, for a tip. Service, it seems, is not included in the price of the food. Tipping is demeaning, undermining any friendly relationship between restaurant and customer by turning your appreciation into a financial gesture. Service should be included in the bill - it's part of what you're paying for after all - and thanks expressed person-to-person.

    We were really impressed. Food was awesome, and the service was top class. Also, the ambience was fantastic. Will definitely come back and will surely recommend.

    Incredibly tasty, authentic food and very friendly staff! One of our favourite restaurants in Oxford. We’ve been several times and can’t wait to go back. Our only minor critique is that the ambience in the back room isn’t as nice as the front - it feels a bit bare - but that doesn’t affect our enjoyment of this fantastic restaurant!

    Lovely little restaurant. We shared the spicy chicken dish which had a nice little kick. The veg served with it was gorgeous and the extra veg dish that the waiter recommended was especially tasty. This was a first time for Ethiopian food for us and it didn't disappoint. We will return!

    It was delicious food, slightly noisy due to a number of families with small children but overall a really nice place

    Great local restaurant in a location that has been standing vacant for years - had heard good things about it and was not disappointed. The food was all of good quality and the service was excellent. It's particularly great for vegetarians or those on gluten free diets.

    The food was tasty except for the grey ‘pancakes’ which were cold and tasteless. Now that may be how they are supposed to be but I wouldn’t know. It would have been better if we had been offered an explanation of Ethiopian food and the menu when we arrived - which we noticed that other tables got from other staff. A pity because, as I say, most of the food was interesting and tasty.

    Lovely place and excellent food. Wonderful friendly staff. The best Ethiopian food around. The only place I can get Vegan and Gluten Free home cooked food which doesn't upset my system.

    The food is delicious, the spicy chicken in particular was amazing. Not everything listed on the menu was available and the poor disabled access are the only real flaws. I would definitely go again if in the area.

    Terrific food, mellow atmosphere, friendly service, unrushed…what’s not to love? I’ll return very soon - I’d like to try the coffee and breakfast!

    Really lovely and authentic place. We shared one of the golden platters - really delicious but could have been a bit more for two people.. left slightly hungry but still happy about the evening :-)
