The prices are actually about 8 bucks for dinner and 6 bucks for lunch. Lunch special comes w/ salad and spring roll. Great curry! All full of veggies and tofu! The coconut soup is great! The spicy noodle and all their flat wide noodles are great. DON'T FORGET TO REQUEST EVERYTHING TO BE MADE WITHOUT FISH SAUCE!!!! Their mango w/ purple or white sticky rice is delicious!
The Kik Watt (yellow split pea) and Shiro Watt were awesome. Overall food quality is better than Cafe Lalibela. We were told that the injera (bread) is made with teff, which is very authetic and expensive, but that other restaurants don't use as much of. Tina was very charming and made sure everybody is full and happy! We heard they closed until Feb08 to prepare for the move to a location across the street. Note also the buffet is by request only, call/email in advance. Although, the platter had a good variety and don't hesitate to ask for more!
The lunch specials were exceptionally cheap ... under 5 bucks which included entree+rice, soup, and tea!! Many mock meat (chicken, pork, beef, squid) options plus veggies and tofu ... I tried the mock squid; it was pretty good and quite real. They had good coconut juice too! Portions were good. Very relaxing music playing. Check it out!

Maybe we had high expectations based on previous reviews, but we were very disappointed with our visit. Even though we had requested for substitutions after explaining we are vegans, our food arrived with the yogurt sauce and feta cheese anyway. Everything was disposabe (mostly styrofoam) other than the basket and tray. Expect to pay at least $8+/meal, and the food and portions were really average. We would not recommend this place as vegan-friendly or above-average.
