Since the Blue Nile closed on 77th Street and Columbus, we have been looking for a replacement for our favorite Ethiopian restaurant and we think we have found it. Because of the prior reviews citing poor service, we went with great misgivings and low expectations on service. Our fears were put to rest and it appears that the service has caught up with the food, and we found both to be excellent. The service was helpful, friendly and prompt and the food was spicy and flavorful, without being overpowering. The menu offered an array of diverse selections, each capturing the distinct character of Ethiopian cuisine. If there is a criticism, it would be that the spices could be used more assertively. With such a rich cuisine, there is no need to hold back.
Pros: Excellent and unique food, friendly and attentive service, very reasonable prices
