We had the meat and vegetarian combinations which were just outstanding. We definitely will get back there to try other dishes. You should definitely give them a try if you are in the area.

I've been here a few times it's so beautiful inside and full of culture. The staff is super knowledgeable about east African culture and gave us some interesting facts as we were dining about Eritrean food. Food was delicious. We ate the chicken stew and the veggie sampler (don't remember the names sorry). I also ordered the honey wine they make it in house. Delicious! So fun to eat with our hands and experience the way others dine around the world. My daughter loved it. Great family experience. Photo cred goes to her.

One of the greatest meals I have ever had. Excellent service, meal presentation, and overall commitment to quality. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone interested in trying Ethiopian cuisine for the first time.

Who knew that a strip mall on I drive could have such amazing food? Not me. I’ve taken friends here. I’ve taken clients here. I’ve taken my wife here. It’s always great. The service is friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Super helpful for first timers. The menu has a nice selection, whether you want beef, lamb or vegetarian. And everything is hot and made to order. You eat it all with your fingers by picking it up with the Ethiopian “bread” which makes for great conversation as you share (if you choose to) and can talk about what each bite tastes like. I got the meat sampler today. Just enough food with 2 samusas as an app. It was full flavored and wonderful. Last time I got the app sampler and the bigger Chef’s special. Perfect for two of us. I also had a beer which was an ice cold easy too enjoy beer. Prices are fair for what you get too. I can’t wait to go back!!

The restaurant has a good decoration but need to improve the ceiling maintenance. The water was dripping from ceiling by the bar and mug can be easily seen on the ceiling. We ordered chef special but the portion disappointed me. The Ethiopian style puff was too thin and without its unique sour aroma. The stew vegetables on the plat were plain. Stew pork and curry-yellowish chicken were only food on the plate, I think okay. The cup for the coffee was not clean. We saw the coffee-residue on the cup. Hope they could improve the customer experience in the short future, either the food offered or the service quality. Thank you.

A co-worker and I had a discussion about different foods that we like. He asked if I’ve ever had Ethiopian? He recommended a great place that Diane and I dined at today. We have great friends that have children from Ethiopia. They have shared meals prepared from this heritage but never on the scale that we had tonight. When we told them where we were, they said they had brought their family there and loved the food. Nile Ethiopian is the name. As is my custom, I asked most of the patrons what they were eating and drinking (whether they wanted my interruption or not) and what they recommended us to try. Between them and our waitress, we followed suit. Injera is the name of the bread that forms the basis of the meal. There is nothing to compare it to; not naan, pitas, scones, crepes, or Wonder bread. It’s texture, feel, smell, and flavor are unique. Samusa, tomato fitfit, Azifa, Doro Wat, Doro Acha, Beef Acha Wat, Beef Tibs, Tikel Gomen, Gomen, Misir and Kik Alicha were consumed with beer and wine that was new to us. I am afraid that when I lie down tonight, that I may actually burst. It was worth it.

My rating is based on other Ethiopian places I have tried(also in Ethiopia) with better injera and spicy doro wat. Here, the food is just okay, mostly bland with not so original spices, maybe to match up with the taste of tourists. If you want to try the best injera or Ethiopian, this is not the place. For first timers, this is Okay. Ambiance is good with beautiful Ethiopian decoration but not so busy. You will always find half of the restaurant empty.

We ordered the chef’s special and the kitfo, both were great! We shared our food and enjoyed it all. Nothing left on our plates!

It was our first time eating Ethiopian cuisine and we were pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious, the ambiance feels authentic and the price was very reasonable especially for the area.

Great Ethiopian food! The balance of flavors was spot on, and we didn't wait long for the food. Our favorites were the chicken, beef, and cabbage. I also liked that the sambusa wrappings were thin and very crispy. Portions were perfect, service was friendly, and prices were reasonable. I'd definitely come back!

This is a true hidden gem of I-Drive. I've been here on both dates and casual dinners after theme park days, and I've never been disappointed. The prices are perfectly reasonable, the food is all incredibly flavorful, and the service is always out of this world. On top of that, the experience of eating with injera (the giant bread that your food is on) is really fun, and the waitstaff have always been great about educating and helping. That said, it wouldn't hurt to Google it once so you know what to expect. I usually split the Chef's Special (for two) with someone else, and it's a great amount. I love spicy food, and several of the meats probably fall into that category. However, there are plenty of mild options (even though I couldn't name any). Regardless, everything I've tried has very strong flavors--in a very, very good way. If you enjoy mead, definitely try Tej while you're there. You can also get Ethiopian coffee, which comes with a scaled-down version of a traditional coffee ceremony. Overall, highly recommended for anyone except the "only chicken fingers and pizza" types!

Chefs combo platter is delicious. Very good juicy honey 🍯 wine.

Food was great and delicious. Staff was friendly and the decorations inside give it an Ethiopian feel.

So glad I chose this place! The rough exterior almost made me change my mind, but I’m soooo glad I went in and ate. It was a dining experience—excellent food, flavorful, different and memorable! Loved every bite, as evidenced by my plate:)!

Such an incredible experience, from the incredible service from our server Moca, to the delicious and flavorful food! This is easily one of my favorite restaurants in Orlando now. We will be back again and again!

The food was phenomenal, you can taste the culture and history of Ethiopia in every dish, the art is beautiful and the service was great, I love this place.

Good Ethiopian food. Good service. Our server was so incredibly friendly and fun. It was an all around pleasant, nice, peaceful, delicious, and flavorful meal. We got the starter sampler, the Chef's Special, and the Ethiopian lager.

I've only tried Ethiopian food one other time and that was in Dubai so I was looking forward to it I tried the Meat Sampler for one and it was tasty and flavorful. The place was very clean and full of African Flavor to help with setting the full experience. The Staff was friendly and helped with recommendations. I'd definitely recommend.

The food and flavors are great. The portion size is smaller than what I've had at other Ethiopian restaurants (yet plenty). The workers are transactional rather than friendly. Entrees cost about $15-$20 each. The injera was very thin and doro wat was prepared differently than I've had elsewhere. The yebeg tibs, doro wat, misir wat, and vegetarian meal for one were all tasty, and I've had better. If there wasn't a better Ethiopian restaurant right down the street, I would make this my favorite in the Orlando area.
