Upsetting experience - Edit

I don't want to ruin the rating of the restaurant so gave them 3 stars, but really this was more of a 2 for me.

We had the vegetarian sampler which was less flavorful than other Ethiopian restaurants I've gone to (try nearby Awash). Plus the side injera was cold which I was surprised by, normally it's warm or room temp at least.

But the thing that really ruined the experience for me was that we ordered the vegetarian sambusas and when they came, we bit in and were suspicious that they might be beef. We called over a waitress to check and she said, "If you ordered vegetarian, they're vegetarian." So we ate a few more bites and then continued to be worried so we asked another waitress and she confirmed they were beef and took them away to replace them. Mistakes happen, fine, but they weren't as apologetic as I think would be appropriate, and didn't even comp any of our meal. We were all pretty upset and I wish the customer service around the mistake had been better.

Pros: Friendly staff, Kid friendly , Vegan options

Cons: Cold injera , Served us meat by accident, Disappointing customer service

Some of the best Ethiopian food I’ve ever had - Edit

Not fully vegan, but lots of veg options, and the veggie combo is more than enough to share with another person—really reasonable at $22. I loved the tomato avocado salad. I believe this is the only Ethiopian restaurant in the area.
