"We went here for some traditional Eritrean cuisine, not expecting too much, but it was amazing! We were very pleasantly surprised! The food was delicious and service was great! Best part was the delicious Ethiopian coffee at the end of the night ☕️"

"It is a nice homy place. I love the taste of their food..They are flexible to prepare your breakfast in any format (Ethiopian traditional, zambian, Sudanese style) as long as you tell the kitchen and negotiate to upgrade your service. The rooms are spacious."
