The owner took my order and was friendly. The masala chai was delicious. The wattles were fluffy and the blueberries fresh. I was impressed by the portion size. There are three large tables and 1 small table. This is the perfect place to hang out with friends and there are board games to play. I sat on my laptop for a bit and no one bothered me. I will come back and I'm excited to see how they grow. I asked the owner if this was her dream and she said yes. So if you like making dreams come true, check this place out!

This place is amazing!…read more Service is terrific, quality of ingredients & preparation is phenomenal. Everything made fresh to order and it shows. Even the lettuce, tomatoes & cucumbers were super fresh and delicious. I had my first Pupusas here and now I'm hooked. Highly recommend the tostadas --first good ones I've had since leaving Chicago. Owners on site, serving & cooking. Place is homey but minimalistic, clean and comfortable. Great place to bring the kids, but also fun for a date or a nice lunch alone with a book. They also do a great job with take out & delivery. Lots of veggie options & very accommodating to dairy-free & vegan folks. And the salsa verde! And the cassava fries!!

I cannot believe how many years it has been since I have updated my review for Walia. Since my…read moreoriginal review five years ago, I have gone back to Walia repeatedly and over the years it has become my absolute favorite Ethiopian restaurant within a respectable driving distance of where I live (which I define as about 30 minutes). I am happy to say that almost everything I said in my last review still rings true. The decor has changed a bit, with new paintings hanging and the seats getting rearranged now and then as reservations demand, but for the most part the restaurant still looks and feels the same as before. It is a comforting, welcoming yet elegant restaurant in its own way. It isn't super fancy, which is great because it makes it appropriate for everything from a casual date night to a birthday party. The service at Walia continues to be fantastic. Their staff is always friendly, accommodating and willing to answer questions. They are also very nice about getting you extra Injira bread (as I do every time I'm there). The food at Walia is amazing. Everything is flavorful and the spices are wonderful (I generally keep the heat at medium level). The Alicha Watt (pumpkin) remains one of my favorite dishes and I often take an order of it to go whenever I eat here. Walia is a wonderful business and I highly encourage everyone to support it!

Hands down my favorite place in SOMA/Essex County

We had asked her how long because we didn't have a lot of time and they was a little busy and we were going to go somewhere else and try it another time but She told us she would get it out soon . She put the order right and it did come out soon. It is very nice and interesting in there. When you walk in, they have a beverage area that has an extensive menu.. every type of coffee you can think of ,tea and other drinks . Then beyond there they sell clothing and a few specialty items . Small area , resembles small boutique ,that had some very nice things.

I came here at 8:30am on a Friday morning to get some desserts. Got some at 9am and told myself I'll at least wait until lunch to break into it. I lasted all of 10 minutes before the chocolate cake started taunting me. So naturally I took a taste of the cake and the snicker doodle cookie, because being an adult means I can have sweets for breakfast. Both works of art! The chocolate cake is rich and moist and just melts in your mouth. There is vanilla icing and caramel sauce which really adds to the experience. I don't like caramel and even I was kicking my fingers. The snicker doodle cookie was also delicious and would purchase again because it was so cinnamony and perfect, but I'm a chocolate gal through and through. I'm taking on the challenge to not eat all of this before my guests arrive this evening - but I may fail and that's ok. Izzy is the only one working there and she is so lovely! She opened this space because she outgrew her home kitchen. Excited to keep trying the new flavors!

When I went to pick up my order the staff were very nice. There wasn't only a couple of patrons picking up to go orders and the place didn't look like it was setup for eat in service. Nonetheless, I got back to hair shop and partaked in my order. The coffee was good, the fries which came with the wrap was good also. Now the wrap. It was ok. The sauce wasn't very flavorful although it boasted curry. I'm used to the bold spiciness of curry and I wasn't getting that. I was hungry so it served that purpose but I probably wouldn't order that again. I may try something else on their menu to give them another chance.
