I feel amazing after sharing the Vegetarian (Vegan) Platter with a buddy! Coffee is great, too.

We ordered the Veggie platter. The servers were nice and the food came out quickly. However the injera was cold indicating to me that it was pre-made. Also, the variety of veggies and lentils were overly salted. I got the feeling the chef who prepared our dish might have been a smoker. Having worked in foods service for many years (being a former smoker myself) I can always predict if the cook smokes by the level of seasoning used. All in all it was okay and I might have caught them on a bad day. I appreciated their kindness and attentive nature. Being nice goes a long way!

Dilemmas arise when the choice is Ethiopian vegan food... Make your life easier and just go for the platter! Choices abound in the platter option- red lentils, shiro, yellow split peas, collards, salad, cabbage, green beans and beets with potatoes. Traditional injera or rice is your choice- the platter definitely feeds 2 people. The food tastes flavorful, and some have a kick to it. Happy mouths and full bellies will result! Bring a friend!

To second the other reviews, the $15 veggie combo is vegan, delicious, and feeds 2 people (or one very hungry person).

best Ethiopian food in the area. Veg platter is all vegan and feeds two people nicely for $15. Platter is a nice combo of lentils, beets, greens, salad, carrots, and green beans some of which are spicy and some mild. Service is usually quick once you get a table.

I love Fasika and their veggie sampler platter is ALL VEGAN and only $14.50! It's enough food for two to share (although I almost always get my own) and is one of my favorite meals in the Twin Cities. I just wish they would open a Minneapolis restaurant so I wouldn't have to travel to Saint Paul. :)

I'd give them a five cow rating but they do serve meat so five cows is not permitted.
