This is one of the best and most affordable Ethiopian restaurants in Portland (I did used to live in Chicago and they had great Ethiopian all you can eat nights). Plus, folks who are gluten intolerant will appreciate their injera - it's acceptable for celiacs, or so I've been told. Their vegetarian platter (which is most definitely vegan) is $8, a steal when shared with someone. And when shared you both will be STUFFED since the injera is never ending, so if you were only moderately hungry I'd suggest bringing a third person. It's weird that they also serve tuna and ham and cheese sandwiches, but, you still gotta love this place and all its charm!

I really like the way this menu is organized - you pick your veggies and tofu and it's all very fresh and prepared wonderfully. I've eaten here on two special occasions - one my birthday and the second time with 20 people on our wedding rehearsal dinner and they had awesome service. My dad couldn't handle the spicy stew-like dinner that he ordered - so I would not recommend this place to folks with sensitive digestive systems towards spicy, flavorful Asian food. I love the curry noodles more than anything and can't wait until we return!
