Dashen was a delight. I favor some of the dishes more than others...the shiro, yellow split peas, and salad are particularly... good! Server was nice and cleaned a table so we could sit at our preferred spot. Soda is overpriced for being in a can. Read more
Amazing food. Fabulous flavors and SO many delicious dishes to try. Also so much food!! I brought 15 people here for my... rehearsal dinner. Everyone enjoyed it. Recommend ordering the sampler plates for 2-4 people and letting the staff decide whatdishes to include. That's what we did, and we tried a total of 10 different dishes at just one table of 8 people. We werestuffed with food leftover. Read more
I was passing through the city on my way back from Manhattan and decided to order takeout from here, as I love Ethiopian food.... This restaurant did not disappoint! The injera was warm and tangy, and the tibs and the begi were so well cooked that theypractically melted in your mouth. Everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The food is well worth the price. I willdefinitely be making the drive here again. Read more
A friend recommended we try this spot for incredible Ethiopian cuisine and it did not disappoint. The ambience is relaxed yet... well appointed and only slightly indicates the ethnicity of the menu. It's not overly decorated like a TGIF's etc. It's lowkey elegance adds to the coziness of the restaurant. The staff is friendly and attentive. The chef is on view through the glassworking his magic. The food was both well presented visually appealing as it was flavourful and delicious. We enjoyed the threemeat combo that was incredible. We've found our new goto spot when craving authentic Ethiopian cuisine. Highly recommend if thisis on your bucket list to make reservations now. Read more

The food here is amazing. Service felt slow initially. We had ordered tea and while waiting for tea we had made a decision on... what to order. We began to feel antsy when the waitress did not come over to take our order. However, she eventually came whenthe tea was ready. I will chalk it up to the fact that we made it clear that we were new and that she probably wanted to takeour order when the tea was brought to us. Afterwards the food came quickly and our waitress came by multiple times to check upon us. She answered all of our questions and gave us recommendations based on what kind of food we wanted. The food was savorywith the right amount of spice. Portions were good. We had a little bit to take home but did not feel inundated with food. Willdefinitely come back again. This is a hidden gem at Rutgers. Read more
Exceptional service and the best Ethiopian authentic food I ever had in the East Coast. Also has great range of vegetarian... options. Not to forget the Ethiopian coffee, which was a treasure! Worth every penny! Can’t wait to visit again! Read more
