While we were sitting in the car deciding where we were going next 1 of the employees came outside to the car and said we can get carry out. I politely said no thank you. Apparently some restaurants are doing good business turning away customers while they're still open. I wouldn't go back not even for carry out. F+++

And yes they do accept cards (no longer cash only). the owner (i'm assuming) was sweet and attentive. we can't wait to head back to little africa soon.

We were greeted by a lovely woman who seemed to be running the restaurant solo. This did not stop her, she got our order in, brought tea and coffee, and then our entree in a standard amount of time. The tea was wonderful and hot on a cold February night. My brother and I shared (and for $28 we could not finish it) a sampler. For those not familiar, wash your hands, and use in injera (a thin, spongy bread) to scoop and eat. Every item was warm and flavorful with spices, we were very full by the end. My brother had never had Ethiopian before and he loved it as well. This is a restaurant to check out in Grand Rapids.
