    Shrimp satay
    Andrew S.

    Despite only having one server (I assume the owner), the service was pretty quick. She was also super sweet and gave our daughter some paper and pen when she was running around like crazy. The decor is clean but no frills. It was nice however to see Ethiopian muaic videos playing on the lone big screen tv in there. The food was really solid. The lamb soup was quite fantastic. There was cleary some fenugreek in it and the toast points really accentuated the lipids in the soup. I would get it again and again especially in the winter months. The shrimp satay was tasty as well as the injera it was served with and the peas and carrots and green beans that were curried with Ethiopian spices. However, I think Meskerem's injera is a bit better with more of a sour taste.

    Went exploring last weekend. Went to Missouri Botanical Gardens to catch the magnolias just as they were ending their season. After the garden did a Google Maps search for somewhere to grab lunch. Opted for Eat Today, a small restaurant on South Grand that has been operating for a year at this location. Though there were not many reviews on Google or Yelp, opted to try them out...so glad we did. The food was so flavorful!! Tender meat and the lentils and veggies were full of flavor. Sprigs of rosemary were throughout the dish, adding freshness. We ordered the Meat Lovers Combo with the Chapati (they also offer rice or fries). It included the chicken, lamb, and beef combo with lentils and veggies. Shared the plate, plenty of food for two. We started the meal off with beef samosas with a red sauce. They have vegetarian and gluten free options. There is a patio for outdoor seating. We were there early, service was great and wait time for our food was minimal. Plenty of seating inside. Stop in and check them out if you have a chance...you will not be disappointed.

    First time trying Eat Today on South Grand and it was a great experience! We kept it simple and ordered the Meat Lovers Combination, an avocado salad (which came with injera), and a side of fries. Everything was flavorful and fresh -- could've used just a touch more seasoning, but still really good overall. Service was friendly and attentive -- they even offered me water while I waited, which was a nice touch. The space was well lit inside and out, even at night, and there's outdoor seating if you want to relax and enjoy your meal. Definitely a solid Mediterranean spot I'd come back to or recommend if you're in the area.

    Delicious, authentic food. Very fresh and flavorful. Service is good. My favorite dish is the veggie combo with injera. Carrot cake is also excellent.

    I'm new to Ethiopian food, so I'm not sure what it is traditionally. I do know the meal I just had at Eat Today was wonderful. I had the lamb roast entree with yellow split peas, collard greens and injera (a flat bread you use to eat the food instead of utensils. Everything down to the bread was tasty. Heavy hit of rosemary in the roasted lamb with onions and carrots married nicely with the mild lamb. I could have probably eaten an entire plate of the yellow split peas as they were incredible. And the collard greens were tender, bright with a little acidity and not the least bit bitter. Everything was well seasoned. And service was quick and pleasant all around. I'm coming back again for sure and I believe the yellow split peas will be my entree of choice. While everything was good. Those were incredible.

    We love to try new cuisine and when we saw that Eat Today offered Ethiopian food, we just had to try it. We were not disappointed. We had the beef samosa, which tastes like a hearty won ton. The dipping sauce that came with it had quite the kick. For our main course, we had the lamb roast. It was incredible. Very moist and tender. The vegetables were also great. There is a good selection if vegetarian is your thing. We were the only ones there on a Saturday afternoon, and the service was perfect. The food came out quickly. For a small place, they have an impressive beer list, both draft and bottled. I still want to try the pizza, I've heard good things about it. We'll be back.

    Fries with Amazing Sauce
    Steven B.

    No liquor, but you really don't need it. The food is so good, you don't miss the cocktails. A group of us stopped by after attending an event down the street and none of us were disappointed. I ordered wings, thinking it would just be wings, but it was an entire meal with a variety of sides. The greens were delicious and the rice was tender and flavorful. Since I thought I was just ordering wing, I also ordered a side of Fries. I was shocked at my serving. Their fries were better than most burger joints. The fries were super crispy, seasoned with pepper and sauce served in a little cup, made my taste buds dance. It was spicy and had a good kick to it. Service was friendly, but at times we had a language barrier. Our server spoke English as a second language, but she was a trooper and still provided our table with attentive service. If you're into African cuisine, I highly recommend you dine here. It will be worth your time.

    Eat Today is a new spot on South Grand. It's an adorable African fusion diner adorned with earthy tones. The aroma of sizzling exotic spices hits as you walk in and you're greeted by friendly staff. The menu is diverse offering apps, veggies, seafood and meats. We had the veggie triangular samosa, the tilapia, and the salmon. All were spicy and flavorful. Excellent service!

    Food was amazing, I enjoyed every bite of everything I ate. Service was great and friendly.

    This is a cute space and the service was okay, though not quick by any stretch of the imagination. I ordered the Spicy Tofu and it was SO bland, I could hardly eat it. All the other items that came with it were more flavorful than the Spicy Tofu! Weird. Probably won't be back.

    I met a few friends for dinner at this new establishment on South Grand. The minute I walked in I was greeted. The woman who was our server was kind and helpful. I was very happy to see two pages of menu items that are plant based. All the entrees come with a choice of rice, French fries or Ethiopian flat bread. I ordered the mushroom entree which was delicious. It came with lentils and a side of cabbage/carrots. The rice was yummy too. All the seasoning and spices made this entree so good. And you get a lot of food for the price ($15). The only negative I have is that the mushrooms were a little more salty than I like. Other than that, I was happy. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for a whole food plant based meal. Next time, I will get the bread as my side choice!

Coming to this Columbia, Illinois hot spot and enjoying the atmosphere you can see why. Be prepared to seeing it totally packed on the weekends. I wanted to see the two bartenders I personally consider the stars of the venue Abigail and Kassidy. As beautiful and talented as you obviously see they are it's their guest service and personalities win the day. Two sweeter and more genuine individuals I challenge you to find anywhere. I'm going to be 100% honest I actually do get nervous coming into see them. It's hard to imagine seeing two angels on Earth. All the girls rock and provide premier service. I lived in St Louis for 14 years and I must say this would definitely be my spot if I still lived in the area. With Abigail and Kassidy it's like coming back and seeing friends I've known. I get that impression it's their style with all guest. I travel the country and these two are my two favorites anywhere. I'd highly recommend if you're a first timer you request them. They're hard working and get their business done. And tip the well!!! They deserve it. Thank you. Michael J Beal Clearwater, Florida.

Despite our large group, the server was excellent, providing friendly and efficient service throughout the entire evening. This is a pizza place, and I have Celiac Disease, so I did not eat this visit. However, my friends enjoyed hot appetizers and cheesy pizza slices. I was extremely impressed by the cocktail menu. I decided on a traditional margarita with a salt rim. It was great, good price too. They have many margarita flavors and add-ons to choose from. In terms of rims, you can pick from nothing, salt, sugar or tahin rim. There was plenty of free parking on the street near the restaurant. Bathrooms are a little outdated but clean and working just fine. The reason we came here for trivia was that the trivia really moves along since it's a weeknight. It was extremely well-attending with many teams (great friendly competition). The questions and rounds moved quickly and efficiently, starting easy and becoming very challenging. I would definitely return!

The food is just as good as I remember from when it…read morewas Pho Grand, and honestly, the service when I went with friends last week was incredible. I knew they don't take reservations and won't seat an incomplete party, but I still got there a little early just to see if we could grab a table for five. I was surprised (in a good way) when they seated me before everyone else arrived. I even told the hostess I didn't mind waiting, but she encouraged me to go ahead and sit, which was really nice. Our server was super friendly and made sure I was taken care of while I waited. As my friends started arriving, he was quick to get them settled in too. We started with some non-alcoholic drinks and spent some time chatting before diving into the menu. It was honestly hard to pick just one thing, so I went with both the chicken pho and fried rice. I knew I wouldn't finish it all, but I really wanted both. Once we ordered, everything moved smoothly--our server checked in, made sure drinks were filled, and kept things organized. When the food came out, everything looked amazing and tasted just as good. Of course, with all the catching up we were doing, it took us a while to finish, but there was no rush at all. When we were ready, he brought the checks and was more than happy to split them out (always appreciate that!). Before leaving, I ordered a to-go meal for my husband and asked for a box for my leftovers. Our server actually took my plate and packed everything up in the back, which I wasn't expecting but really appreciated. He also brought out the to-go order right when it was ready. Honestly, everything, from the space to the service to the food, was just great. I'm already looking forward to going back again soon.

Love the new cocktail bar they added. It take away some seating however people can eat at bar too. We ordered cocktails while waiting for our table which took only a few minutes. My husband tried their version of an old-fashioned which used both bourbon and rum!!! It was good but he said definitely a "sipper". They have a full bar and much better wine selection now too. Starters for us were a bowl of wonton soup and the spring rolls. Both were good but rolls a little rubbery to me. The highlight of our meals was charbroiled pork. We are not capable of ordering anything else. Ha. I get 15.04 and he got 15.03 which includes an egg roll. Divine food!! The people who own this place are so friendly. Our waiter was also very nice. We can't wait to return
