Delicious Organic Ethiopian Food

My omni husband and I greatly enjoyed our vegan lunch of the vegetarian combo for two. We have had Ethiopian food at about 7 Ethiopian restaurants around the U.S. and consider this one to be one of the 3 best for flavor. Service was average speed.

I found the portion sizes to be the smallest I'd consider acceptable--anything less I'd consider skimpy. The man there who appeared to be the owner told us that vegetables we were eating were organic. Also, there were asterisks on the menu indicating that the legume dishes we ordered were organic.

Normally I would consider our Ethiopian meal to be exorbitantly priced. It cost $16.50 for the first person and $14.00 for an additional person. With one beverage for my husband, it cost over $30.00 for lunch. However, I can see the use of organic ingredients justifying the higher cost of this lunch + smallest acceptable portion size. Still, I was a bit uncomfortable with the prices.

Another thing I liked about this restaurant is that unlike two Ethiopian restaurants I tried in Silver Spring, MD, this one didn't burn incense during the meal. The overpowering incense that some Ethiopian restaurants burn ruins the dining experience for my asthmatic husband and me.

I plan to come back to this restaurant several times a year.

Pros: Vegan, Organic

Cons: Expensive, Metered Street Parking

Glad they are here.

Ethiopian food in Frederick. If you've never tried it, you should. The vegetarian sampler plate is the way to go if a first-timer. If you don't want to share your platter with others be sure to ask for an individual plate. Great to enjoy with friends or a peaceful dinner alone. Try the Ethiopian coffee too.

Pros: location, delicious, friendly

Cons: more low cost options would be nice

So tasty!

Very welcoming atmosphere, with wait staff that is willing and patient with newbies to Ethiopian food. If you are not familiar with the food, they offer many vegan/veg options that are too tasty to be legal. Also offers many African/foreign beers! A great place for camaraderie.

Pros: Only Ethiopian place in area, Explore new tastes!, Super friendly

Cons: A tad on the expensive side, eating with hands not for everyone, small dining room
