City Newspaper's Take Reviewed by Michael Warren Thomas
Although inside the Inner Loop and close to the Eastman Theatre, this wonderful Ethiopian restaurant is rather lonely on University, just East of Chestnut. Meals are served the traditional way, on a platter of injera. There are no utensils or plates, which is a great concept in reducing dishwashing expenses. The injera bread is used to pick up the different dishes which are arranged on the platter. The communal nature of eating Ethiopian food is part of the experience.

This is my favorite restaurant in Rochester. Filling, warming, comfort food with unique seasonings and flavors. Lots of vegetarian choices.
