I ordered the vegetable combination for $24, and for $25 I tried Kitfo (raw meat dish) for the first time, both to share. They were yummy! The Kitfo had a spicy kick to it but even with my low spice tolerance it was not unmanageable. It was my first time trying Fasolia Wot (string beans and carrots) in the veggie combo and it might be my new favorite! It had an unexpected sweet flavor that I can't describe. All in all it was a great meal and I'll be going back for sure.

A good size dining area as well Bar and saw an area for Live Entertainment. Modern decor with some interesting artwork. We were fasting so were limited to fish and veggies for lunch. We started with Timatim Firfir. Just the presentation of this appetizer was enough but the combo of the tomatoes, onions, Awaze wrapped in injera was delicious. We also ordered veggie (Lentil) Sambusa which was just right crispy and hit the spot. For main, we ordered the Veggie combo-our favorites were the Misir Wots and Beet Salad. We saw the Tuna Kitfo on the menu and ordered as we had never tried this one. Exquisite dish and a must try. As a lover of the Beef Kitfo, this is a formidable alternative. We finished with Macchiato which was bold and reminded me of the ones I had in Addis. Service was friendly and attentive. They picked up quite a bit by the time we left around 2:30. Will be back to enjoy the rest of the menu. Don't miss the Tuna Kitfo/Timatim Firfir.

Upon entering I was greeted by a lovely lady that was attentive and answered all my questions. I had the curry goat and a beef patty. The goat was "amazing" and the sides were delicious.

Cute looking place and some interesting rare drinks in the fridge. I cannot wait to try the Ox tail!! This spot is a MUST if you want delicious Jamaican cuisine. Sooo much better than the "other" southern location and much friendlier.

I would not recommend this restaurant. The inside was clean and had lots of seating available…read more The food appears to be frozen- it appeared they were cooking frozen gyro meat and beef patties on their stove. The lettuce, and other vegetable/salad toppings appeared to be limp and possibly old. This place has only been open around 6 months, yet there is already a discrepancy with the menu prices on the paper menus inside the store compared to prices on the front counter at the store. For example on the paper menus a cheeseburger is $6.99, whereas on the front counter menu the price is $8.99. These burgers are single patty burgers, and there is nothing in the last 6 months warranting a price increase on burgers or other food. The other thing is $8.99 is extremely overpriced for a low quality, frozen single patty burger. For that price you can get organic grass fed burgers on brioche buns at many other places like elevation burger and others. For their burger offered here, $6-$7 is the correct and fair price since its a lower quality burger. They claimed they do not offer a double cheeseburger- that makes absolutely no sense- obviously they have the capability to offer a double burger but choose not to. Perhaps they believe this will force people into paying for two regular burgers, but thats not how things work out. People will either stick to buying one burger, or just stop coming to the restaurant entirely, when ownership/management choose to engage in price gouging measures like not offering double burgers. We even came in during lunch time and the place was completely empty. I have never been to a burger place that refuses to offer a double cheeseburger. I believe they need to drastically improve their quality level of food while keeping menu prices the same, or lower their prices back to the original menu prices. The burgers werent very good, and the gyro meat was standard frozen gyro meat you could find at a place like restaurant depot... we would not come back unless changes were made to the food quality.

They are open every day starting from 11 AM to 2 AM.. That's amazing for someone who can't find food in Springfield unless it's at a bar or at a breakfast joint. It's also odd that I was the only one there! The ambiance was a bit quiet but maybe that's I was there early afternoon. Ranging from Halal Rice Platters, Grilled foods, Burgers, Gyros, Falafel and even Fish, this place covers alot. I got the mixed platter with consists of Lamb/Chicken Meat, Rice, Veggies such as tomatoes, onions, chickpeas, cucumbers, drizzled over with white sauce! If you haven't tried it before, it's very savory and filling. It'll fill you up and for such an affordable price I can't really say no! Service was quick once order was placed, and like any places where you make your bowl, the same process is here too; pick your meats, veggies, and then sauce! This will be one of my go to places for food in Springfield!

The food was excellent and the reason why I gave this place 4 stars. We stopped here for a brief & small dinner of appetizers before going to the movies. We ordered summer rolls and calamari. The food was well prepared. The calamari was the best I ever had. The summer rolls were good but not the best I ever had. These were the highlights. The downside: Glasses & dishwater looked old. Scratch or wear marks on rims of glasses. The ice water they gave us tasted like it came from a faucet or unfiltered. There were no happy hour drink specials or dining specials. Service was quick to seat us yet slow in taking our orders. Even though the calamari was the best I ever had and the highlights of this restaurant, I was not compelled to re-visit this place as soon as possible like other restaurants in the past. There are other Thai places in the area that offer excellent prices for excellent & larger quantities of food with dining specials. Yet this place is convenient and close to the movie theater and stores . The food is excellent to good for fair prices as well

I had been craving Thai and was excited to eat in one of my former go-to's but I was shockingly surprised and disappointed at how bad this place has gone downhill. Ordered the YUM woon sen and the noodles were so dry they were stiff. There was NO sauce as you would expect, and barely any flavor at all. Total waste of money and didn't even eat it. I was hoping this was a mistake and that the PAD woon sen would be better. The noodles weren't dried out but again there was very little flavor at all. You could barely tell it was even pad woon sen. Not to mention that all of the portions seem to have shrunk while prices have gone up, some insanely so! Biggest shock was when the bill came. $25.45 for the smallest portion you've ever seen. Most other Thai places charge $16-$18 for this dish and a much bigger size with better flavor. Insulting. Waste of time, waste of money. It's a shame how they have

The food is good but not the best Thai food I've ever had. For their spice levels they do end up on the spicier side compared to other Thai places which I like. They give you a lot of food and the quality is pretty solid. We got drunken noodles, pad Thai, spring rolls, and Thai tea. The Thai tea was alright and in a small cup. The spring rolls were a simple vegetable spring roll but very good. The drunken noodles and pad Thai were good. More noodles to meat but a lot of food overall. Was 3 meals for each dish. While not the most remarkable food, is a solid takeout option for the price.
