Review


I was excited to try this place after reading others’ positive experiences. I got takeout (GF free injera, Doro Alichi) and tested my food with my Nima sensor before eating. Unfortunately it indicated gluten found, so I didn’t eat it. I tested another family member’s dish (vegan combo, GF injera) with hopes of switching, but that came back positive for gluten as well. My guess is that there is some cross contamination (maybe with the spices?), which shows up on the Nima test for anything greater than 20ppm–but of course, hard to know for sure! Just wanted to share this experience with others so they can make an informed decision for themselves.

Safety


How confident are you that this establishment takes safety precautions against cross-contact?
