   When my group arrived for the reservation, the doors were locked and a sign on the door said they were out of food. Advance notice would’ve been nice for people with reservations.

   The food was AMAZING. We had the combination platter for 2 and all I can say was that everything on the platter was delicious . Staff and owner always stopped by to make sure we didn’t need anything else. My favorite was the brisket and lentils. They also have coffee and I am a coffee lover. My first time trying Ethiopian coffee and it did not disappoint. It was light but gives a punch. Next time in Dallas it’s a must to stop by.

   I really wanted to like this place having read all the reviews and publicity. Friday night. Two tables in the entire restaurant. Service was slow. Food was bland. Pulled lamb was dry. We shared and had to ask for plates. Martinis were not good even though we asked for dry (lots of vermouth added), lemon twist (came with an olive), etc. They did bring another martini but I'm just not sure servers are REALLY listening anymore. This same issue happened at another restaurant the very next day. I know their food has to be good - perhaps just an off day. The servers were friendly but maybe need to up the game just a bit.

   Ok so I’ll tell you the good stuff first. The food here was AMAZING!! I can totally see why they were on the NYT top 25 new restaurants. It was interesting and creative and everything I’m looking for in a restaurant. We got the platter for 4 and it was the perfect way to try many different things. But the service was so disappointing. I am a bartender and I have been in the industry for 25 years. I am very hesitant to write a negative review anywhere. We have never been here before so I didn’t know the situation. I thought maybe they were still very busy/popular and we may need a reservation. I went online and saw that there was a reservation option, so that’s what I did. There are reservation times through 8pm on OpenTable. I neglected to check their hours, mostly bc I assumed they’d be open until at least 9pm on the weekend and bc they offered a 7:30 reservation so that’s what I booked. Spoiler…..They close at 8. There were at least 5-6 other tables when we walked in, but we were rushed through the entire meal. Told they were completely out of ice. The waiter and everyone else we encountered seemed blatantly annoyed that we were there. We were missing food listed on the menu on our plates (they brought out one thing, but pretty sure other things were missing) we asked the waiter what everything was (it’s Ethiopian, so we had no idea) we were given a vague “ummm, I don’t really know”, which was kinda weird. I don’t know, it just over all felt very like “get these aholes outta here.” I would never in a million years knowingly go to a restaurant that was closing in 30min, But again I just went by the reservation times offered. I’ve been waiting to try this place for ages bc my husband love’s Ethiopian and BBQ, so it was perfect for his birthday. I wanted so badly to love this place. Like I said the food was so good, but they need to fix the reservation thing if their going to be so annoyed when people book one that is offered close to closing time.

   Best Ethiopian food in Tarrant County. We made a reservation, and they brought the food out faster than expected. The Texas barbeque smelled great, but we went for the Ethiopian food.

   We had a platter that was BBQ & ETHIOPIAN cuisine. The BBQ was on point. We want to try some more of the ETHIOPIAN cuisine though. We also had a piece of chocolate sheet cake. When I tell you that was a taste of heaven. Whew! Y'all need to try it for yourself. Will we go back again? That would be a resounding, YES!
