S/O and I shared the vegan combo and dereq tibs, a pitcher of their infused water, an Ethiopian cream coffee, and a glass of palm tree (their arnold palmer). The food was fantastic. I loved every bite we had, especially the gomen (braised greens), cabbage and carrot, and the kik alicha. The dereq tibs, though? That was AMAZING. Tender beef, sweet stewed onion, the perfect amount of spice from the serranos. I loved that the dish is accompanied by senafich (a spicy, horseradish-y mustard) and mitmita (a DELICIOUS chili powder that I want to put on everything lol). The beverages were delicious, I love an arnold palmer and this one is probably the best i've ever had with their spiced tea. Their coffee was decadent and strong and perfectly balanced. And the banana split! I am not usually one for dessert but I knew I needed to try this and I'm SO glad I did. A symphony of textures and complex flavors. We may or may not have used our fingers to get the last bits from the dish. The place itself is like a little oasis from the hustle and bustle of the strip mall outside. Vibey music, beautiful furniture and decor, and all attention paid to the little details. Can't wait for them to reopen so we can come back!! Parking - strip mall was crowded, but street parking wasn't too bad to find.

It has American, Mexican and Ethiopian food, so there is something for everyone :) I started with the Sambusa with beef and really liked it! The waitress recommended us to eat it with salsa from their salsa bar and it paired perfectly. It was a little oily but great flavor regardless! I also got the Awaze tips with Injera and beef. The injera was a spongey tortilla/bread like carb that was covered with a beef/veggies mixture. We were able to adjust the spice level on this since the waitress warned us the dishes were very spicy but to be honest, it wasn't spicy at all and I would like to try the other dishes with spice next time. The Awaze tips dish was really good and pretty big portion. Excellent service and food! I would love to come back to try more.

I loved the owner's story that led to their decision to feature Ethiopian, Mexican, and American menu items.

The service was very friendly as well. I overheard the staff talking in the back about how they were getting noticed on social media, so it warms my heart to see great restaurants get the promotion they deserve.

There is brik, a hard-shelled potato with egg that is so good. A pastry filled with chicken and cinnamon is just wonderful. We had as our main course a mouth-watering chicken with almond that just falls off the bone it is so tender and juicy. Dessert is baklava or an almond cake and mint and honey tea that is poured 3 feet above a tiny glass and never a dropped missed. There are a variety of set menus that the whole table needs to agree upon. But you can order some extras if there is something you really want from one of their menu choices. I am not a meat-eater, but others in the party were, so we ordered extra beef brochettes. There is no way to eat everything that is brought although you wish you could. The good thing is you can take leftovers home and enjoy the meal a second night. There is lovely belly dancing to enhance the evening. The service is good and you do not feel rushed. The prices are incredible. Amazing value for the food you are receiving. I don't think they have raised their prices in years. The restaurant is on Sunset at Gower, but very hard to see from Sunset. Just east of Gower is a small driveway you need to go in to see the Moun of Tunis

The ambiance in the restaurant is lovely and the seating is very comfortable. It also smells great there. I got the pad Thai which was fantastic. It was well spiced and flavorful and had a lovely peanut flavor. The noodles were thick and doughy and really took on the sauce well. I got it with the faux chicken, which had a really meat-like texture and just the right amount of tenderness. The carrots and bean sprouts were crisp and added a nice crunch. It wasn't too heavy and I felt really good afterwards. Parking is really easy either at a metered spot in front, on the residential streets on the side or in their adjacent parking lot. I will definitely return again soon to enjoy items from their vast menu and hope to enjoy their wonderful dine in experience!

Not having…read morevisited a vegan restaurant for a long time, I was curious and bookmarked this restaurant since I'd be in the area. I got the fried tofu ($10) and pad thai with soy chicken ($14). Meals are rather affordable here and come in big portions, so you'll leave filling full. The pad thai tasted decent yet a little different from what I had at other restaurants. It was missing the amount of savoriness I was familiar with. However, it did have the sweetness that I've usually tried in pad thai from other restaurants. The soy meat did have a similar texture to that of traditional chicken, but it left an aftertaste that I didn't really like. The soy chicken had the same mostly sweet flavor as the noodles. It was even better putting lime on the noodles, and the vegetables helped in adding good flavor. As an appetizer, the fried tofu tasted good with the sweet and sour sauce. I was able to finish the whole appetizer before I got my noodles. The ambience was quiet as I was the first customer, but it gradually got louder as more people arrived. There was a mosquito that bit me, so that wasn't fun. Looking back, it's ironic that this happened inside a vegan restaurant. That aside, I was regularly checked in on by the staff and had my water refilled. Service is definitely a strength here, and it was nice seeing locals talk with the staff.

I went on a whole food vegan diet for 40 days as part of a cleanse and health journey. So my fiancé and I decided to come out here before a concert one night. He's been vegan for years and years, but I've never had that diet so it was hard for us to go out. We found this place and knew we had to go. We arrived about an hour before close, got sat immediately, and had a super sweet server (I wish I remembered her name). But I didn't realize that the menu items were all affirmations. As someone who has had a super tough year physically and emotionally, I've been really getting into meditation and manifesting and overall good vibes. So I thought going there and seeing that menu was absolutely a sign. It's fully vegan and whole food. And VAST. There was so much to choose from. I asked opinions on what to get. I think I ended up getting I Am Restored for my drink. Delish. Not sweet but very good. And then my partner and I got the I Am Glorious and the I Am Next Level to share. Everything was SO good. House made. Great flavor. And great presentation. My only wish was that is was more affordable (why does healthy yummy food have to be so expensive?!). We'd be going more often and we don't live close by. But it's worth it. Excited for our next trip back there! Side note - we also ordered delivery from them as well. The I Am Caring nachos (did notttt travel well.. get them in person). And the I Am Giving Margherita pizza. That was yummy. Recommend for vegans and non vegans alike!

I ended up getting so full that I took my second dish home! I absolutely loved the coconut drink, "I Am Chill." They were also happy to customize it with less ice, which I really appreciated. The "I Am Next Level" bowl was delicious, healthy, and very satisfying. My second dish, the "I Am Beaming" Pesto Alfredo Pasta, was a little too creamy for my taste, but it was still enjoyable. It was fairly noisy during lunch on Friday, and the service was decent but could have been a little more attentive. There were a few moments when I found myself wondering when the waiter would come back to my table. Overall, a great Dine LA value with delicious, healthy food and some creative drink options. I'd definitely come back to try more dishes!

Their grocery store has everything you could want in terms of Indian ingredient selection, but the restaurant goes crazy- amazing food. They are under new management now so they're no longer called "India sweets and spices" but they are somehow even better. I've always had a hard time with spicy food and when we used to go in, they would tell us "they're all spicy" (referring to the curry) - and sometimes I'd get lucky and have less spicy curry, and other times I'd have to add a lot of yoghurt. But now they have actual mild options which means we're going there twice as often. The samosas are great (can be spicy too so always ask), the garlic naan is incredible, and if it hasn't changed, you can ask for poori instead of flatbread. The staff is super friendly and hospitality is unmatched. If you come in on Holi they sometimes have a bowl of bright powder for you to bless yourself or your friends with. Genuinely love this place.
