Drove across town in torrential rain to get my Ethiopian fix at Awet Major!…read moreIf you're not very familiar with Ethiopian (like myself) use the menu as a guide and ask your server, who will likely be the owner, any and all questions. She is super friendly and helpful. Your spice level and reasonable modifications are accommodated. I got the awet combo, which typically has beef, lamb, chicken wing + egg and swapped the lamb for chicken breast. I like my food spicy and my combo did not disappoint. My friend is a fan of the veggie combo. The portions and food quality are a great value for the price. Take what you can't (shouldn't?) finish-the leftovers are dreamy, and finish with a pot of the tea to balance out your meal.

Good selection of vegan and vegetarian meals as well. Went with a group and everything ordered looked worth trying. Good sized portions and affordable.

I had the most amazing time celebrating my friend at this restaurant. My friend that mentioned that…read moreshe does not like Ethiopian food has only good things to say. This is great establishment where the staff is always so friendly and attentive. The place is clean and there is even a hand washing station. I love how the Ethiopian culture is highlighted from the videos broadcasted on the tv, art and decor throughout the restaurant. The food was amazing. We got mild spice and it did not disappoint. We got the 4 person meal for 3 of us and there was plenty of left overs. There was a. Assortment of meats and vegetarian options and they were all delicious. My only issue was the injera and some of the sides were cold or close to Lukewarm. I love hot food or at least warm. Also, there is paid street side parking outside.

I was happy to see that the menu had some pictures and that there were descriptions of each food item, also our server was a great help in assisting us with what to order. However, it did take a long time for our food to come out. I got the Yesega Sambuusa (pastry stuff with beef) which I really liked and the Tibs Lamb. Each dish we ordered also came with two sides, I got the Tikel Gomen (cabbage and carrots) and Yemisir Keyi Wett (red lentil). Everything was so good, I only wish the portions were larger and it was a bit pricey. This is my second time experiencing Ethiopian cuisine, my first time was in Kansas and it was ok but I am glad I came here and tried again.

I do not know the name of the man who attended to me but he was very patient and consistently checking in and providing update on my meal preparation. Order ahead by calling if you don't wanna wait in store like I did. Now to the food, I had the peppered ponmo and the beef suya. The suya portion was more than generous which I was grateful for since I had to share. The tasting left me very nostalgic. The ponmo was spicy to satisfaction. Although the seasoning could be improved, it is overall a great spot that I would be eating from again!

I want to give this place a 3.75 Good: Friday night jazz…read moreband Shades of Gray was jamming...vibe was amazing music wasn't too loud.. You would never know going inside this was an old Arby's...they really decorated it to be sexy, intimate and comfortable with a bit of elevation Good: amazing cocktails...strong with great flavor and I felt it was a good pour Decent: Calamari appetizer I could reorder..I love the red seasoning they powdered on top..it elevated what what have been regular frozen fried calamari Ok: Main meal Peanut stew with beef . The cuts of beef was huge and not flavorful. The peanut stew needed more dimension...I felt the flavor fell flat...good but not amazing. Definitely not spicy at all..maybe a little more salt and some spice I ordered spinach stew/soup with chicken and fish...more tomato based soup. Definitely needed some spicyness it fell flat without some pepper to the stew The fufu was ok...softer and not as elastically as I like fufu Needs Improvement: service staff!!! They had one waitress that knew what she was doing, a white I think maybe manager that was not managing or training the others and 2-3 other waitresses that acted more like food runners then waitress.. We arrived and was seated quickly..got water ordered in decent time...got one drink then took 15 minutes to get the second drink..then the table in front of us received their appetizer before we got ours but they came in 10 min after we did. Then service went down hill...peanut stew came out...okkk We waited 45 minutes..my food never arrived..asked the waitress..I think she forgot to put my order in... Never received the jollof rice we had ordered She came with the kettle and water bowl for us to wash our hands AFTER we ate...sigh

This establishment was recently remodeled and there was a slight name change from Kalakuta Grill…read more We went there to celebrate two of my friend's birthday. The ambiance was very intimate with a touch of luxury. Most of the area has dim lighting and intentional art pieces showcasing the West African culture. The music selection was also great. This is a great place for large or small groups. The restroom needs paper towel or a door opener though. This is the best service that I have ever gotten at a restaurant. Hewa (our server) went above and beyond to ensure that we were well taken care of. From helping us to choose from the extensive menu, helping us with pictures, etc. The food selection was overwhelming because there was just so much great options to choose from. We were all satisfied with the portion sizes for the money paid. The food was well seasoned and flavorful throughout. I think our least favorite meal was the suya but the wings are the best I have had at a restaurant. The wings were well seasoned and the juicy meat effortlessly came off the bones. My friends also received complimentary birthday cake that was really delicious.
