DO NOT RECOMMEND!!…read more My friends and I unfortunately had an awful experience! The service was not great and the ambiance was basic. We waited 20 mins before we were asked for our beverage order and even longer to order food. We stayed because of our excitement to try. The server kept forgetting our order and never told me the appetizer I ordered was sold out until I asked. I got the veggie plate and was disappointed because my food came out cold. My friends got the lamb and chicken, they hated it. I was told the meat was tough and not cooked well. Overall, none of us liked our food and will not go back

I know there's a menu, but when my friend and I walked in, she just asked us if we wanted meat or veggie (probably because we are very white and don't appear like we would know anything about ethiopian food, which is fair). We told her we like both meat and veggie, and she told us she would bring out a plate for us to share. When she brought us our plate, we instantly just smelled absolute deliciousness. The large platter was lined with injera, and then also came with 4 rolls of injera bread on the sides. We were given Tibs, shiro (lentil/chickpea stew), yellow peas, green beans, and some stewed collards. When I tell you EVERYTHING was good, I mean it. Everything was so delicious and flavorful. Dig into the injera bread with your hands and taste all the stews. The injera bread has a perfect fluffy texture with a sour taste, and I genuinely could not tell you which stew was our favorite. I am OBSESSED. It was all so so so good. It is more expensive than I imagined (we EACH paid $27 for the meal plus a waterbottle each), but utterly worth it. The one platter was more than enough for 2 of us, and we still had leftovers.

I assume that they're Eritrean (Habesha cousins of Ethiopians) because the names of my favorite dishes seem to be a different language from their Ethiopian counterparts' Amharic. But the flavor was never lost in translation! I ordered Combo # 3 for $18.99. It comes with your choice of 4 vegetables (out of 5 preselected options) and one salad (out of three preselected choices). The side choices are quinoa, injera, or white rice. I confirmed with them that they use teff, meaning the injera is gluten free. They also offer 3 spice levels: regular, spicy, and extra spicy. I love all five vegetable options so it was hard to decide. I ended up choosing the Red Lentils, Yellow Lentils, Tikil Gomen (the cabbage dish), and Collard Greens. Everything was excellent! 10/10! (Everything I ordered was vegan and gluten free.) I ordered spicy because I love spicy food. But let me tell you... I was not prepared for the authentic African spices they hit me with. My bad! I will never underestimate them again. I had to literally sit the injera on my tongue first, then put the food in my mouth in order to finish my meal. LOL Next time I'll be a good little American and order it the normal way. I'll try their fosolia (green beans and carrots) next time. The Shiro also looks good, but it's only available as a full entree. They operate out of a food hall, so it's take out only. I ordered online and my food was ready at the promised time. The customer service was excellent and the lady (whom I'm assuming was the owner) was very nice and helpful. I will definitely order from them again.

I really hate to give a Nolensville ethnic restaurant a 3 star review, but I can't justify anything…read moreelse. Let me start out by saying the owner/server was SUPER friendly, and the food was not bad at all. However, here are some things to note. First, they aren't open according to the hours posted online (I believe they are only open 3 days a week now). Second, outside, the parking lot is full of cars with flat tires and there is an odd smell. Next, when you walk inside the restaurant, it is like a huge sort of abandoned ballroom with a deserted, empty bar, and many retro looking tables. A lot of the booths are hard to sit at because the table is so far from the actual seating. Initially, there was no one around at ALL, so we were confused on what to do, but then a man peeked his head out from a window at the very back of the room and told us to order there. We both just got the chicken egusi with fufu. If you dont know, fufu is a sort of playdough like food made out of pounded yam that you dip into stews and eat with your hands. Egusi a stew made of gourd seeds. He said it would take 10 minutes to come out but it actually took 25. We didn't mind too much, though. The food was PIPING hot when it came out, almost too much to touch. It also comes in to-go styrofoam containers. Each order got 2 wrapped logs of fufu and a container of chicken egusi. The egusi was pretty flavorful, and since I'm not an expert on it, I can't say much else, but it was good. The chicken legs were moist and flavorful as well, and we liked the texture of the fufu. It has a sort of very very mild potato-y taste to it, and it's great to take a piece with your hands and eat with the egusi. I just wish there were some more vibrant, striking flavors but the egusi was mostly nutty, which I'm assuming it is supposed to be. Overall, I think you should definitely come here if you want to try fufu and never have before, but be prepared for a slightly weird experience.
