    I've always wanted to try Ethiopian food, and I was finally able to try it at Aster's! Aster's is…read morein a small building off the highway and has enough parking. When I got there, it was completely empty. I was surprised that it wasn't packed more! Service was incredibly good. There was only one person working in the restaurant when we went but he answered all our questions. He even gave us some dessert for free when we finished our meal! I went during the lunch buffet, so I was able to try as much as I wanted. I didn't realize how vegetarian friendly Ethiopian food is! I liked everything, but I LOVED the spicy lentils. Especially with the injera? Oh my god YUM! Everything about this restaurant was a 10/10. More people should come visit this independent restaurant, there's food for everyone!

    Great spot for Ethiopian food! I've been there 3 times already and have brought different friends…read moreto try it too. The last time I visited, the prices had gone up slightly, but still super affordable (around $15) especially for all the food you're able to get during their lunch buffet. In terms of location, it's located right off I-35 so pretty convenient. Decent amount of parking available. You can choose to sit indoors or outdoors but I would recommend sitting outdoors since there's more space. In terms of service, it's all self-serve so more of a choose your adventure setup. There's a bunch of different options (veggie, meat, etc.) you can fill your plate with! The mix of flavors/variety makes for a delicious, filling meal. I particularly enjoy their injera, doro wott (chicken), begg wott (lamb stew), and any of their lentil dishes. Sometimes there'll be dessert too (such as pound cake). Highly recommend if you're looking to try some Ethiopian food in Austin! It's a reliable spot, and the lunch buffet is an especially great deal.

    Went here on a Saturday morning and it took 35 mins for my food to come out, even though there were…read moreonly a few people inside. Apparently a big online order had come in, which they were prioritizing over customers there in person. So that wasn't great. However, once I got my tacos ALL was forgiven. These are by far the best vegan breakfast tacos I've ever had! The vegan chorizo, potato, and cheese was so insanely good. I am going to be coming back here just for that! I also got the smoked tempeh and migas tacos, which were pretty good.

    I'm fairly local to the area and have come here pretty often over the years. My husband and I…read morereally appreciate the variety of vegan options, and the food staff has always been lovely. Unfortunately, we've nearly stopped coming altogether because of how consistently rude the barista staff has been. We've visited this location around 20 times, mostly for the food, and I genuinely can't recall having a positive experience with the staff behind the coffee counter. Today was a reminder of why we stopped coming in. I ordered a latte, and when I walked up to the counter, there was no greeting or even a basic "How can I help you?" Instead, I was met with, "What do you want?" There was no one ahead of me, and after I waited nearby for my drink, the person making it yelled "HERE YOU GO!" right near us in a sarcastic, snide tone. It's disappointing because there are things we really do like about this place, but the experience at the counter has made it hard to justify coming back -- especially when the coffee itself isn't good enough to make up for being treated rudely. At this point, we'll likely stick with Epoch down the street and head to Bistro Vonish when we want our vegan fix.
