Review: What can i say - I ADORED this restaurant! I went on a weeknight for dinner and they weren't that busy but the food was fresh, home cooked and so tasty!! I think the buffet (from what i could tell on the menu) is at lunch time and at dinner you order off the menu. The nightly menu is decided upon daily and you pick/choose your items - each one was four dollars while i was there. I picked two dinner choices and then a dessert.
My first choice was a risotto stuffed squash with a fruit glazed topping - so delicious. Second I had a mung bean and rice dish with spices that were the perfect combo - very filling too. then I had a dessert called Chocolate Fennel Pudding. I was hesitant because i hate fennel seed but this was incredible! the fennel taste was very mild.
This place uses no refined products (like white sugar) and uses local ingredients as much as they can. I was SO impressed and wish we had a place like this near my home in PA. Its an all vegan selection of menu options and the staff are helpful and friendly. And its a healthy vegan restaurant at that! For my whole dinner with tip was 15 bucks. I would highly recommend people give this place a try - the outside appearance of the building needs some help. don't let it keep you back though - go on in and give this place a try! they also do fresh juices, smoothies, coffees, and baked goods!
Pros: Healthy Vegan Cuisine! * Affordable Prices * Friendly Staff
Cons: parking is tough * * |

Review: This place is an undiscovered gem in Rochester. The Ethiopian cuisine is simple, hearty, healthy, and very tasty! The lentil soup is amazingly flavorful, and the four other main dishes (plus a rice and veggies dish) are all superb as well. The best part is using injeera (a flat bread that tastes a bit like sourdough, roughly equivalent to an Indian restaurant's naan) to soak it all up!
The owner is a very nice guy who recognized my girlfriend and I only the second time we stopped in. He always seems very gracious, attentive, and friendly.
The selection has always been the same every time I've gone there. I for one like the consistency, because it's something I can always count on, but that might be a con for some.
Pros: delicious, feel-good food * lots of space, nice atmosphere * all you can eat
Cons: small selection * small parking lot * no waterslide |
