GF injera was great, got the meat and veggie samplers. I was a little worried about the lentils being contaminated at the supply-chain level, but I didn't feel sick afterward.

I ate here twice and got sick the second time. I ordered the GF injera and confirmed that the dish was GF, but I'm very sensitive to cross contact and I'm not sure what if any precautions they take against CC in the kitchen.

Otherwise, the food was great and the service was good. I was really excited to be able to eat Ethiopian food again after many years, but I will not be going back.

I ordered the gf injera and veggie platter and felt great afterwards. The person who handed me my food even showed me the difference between regular and gf injera so I would feel safe. Def recommended for sensitive celiacs!
