Parking on a Thursday evening was still available around 8 o'clock in the parking lot across the street. I applauded the atmosphere and decor in my first review; it remains beautiful and refined. The service is formal and timely; the staff observant and accommodating. During this dining experience, we noticed that the protein and sauce (e.g., Mango) were watered down compared to our first visit. We expected the thick, creamy sauce, bursting with chicken and flavor that we had come to expect, but what we got this time was watery and plain disappointing. The appetizer, the naan and breads, were the same high quality, but the sauce sealed it for us. I hope that this was simply a fluke or a bad night in the kitchen, not a recurring theme at Tulsi. It is hard to recommend Tulsi after our most recent experience, only because other Indian restaurants nearby serve the most exquisite food.

The chicken bhuna was one of the best curries i've ever had. I ordered it extra spicy, which came out being the perfect spice level. It also had a touch of sweetness. There were lots of onions in it too which were satisfying with each bite. The portion was perfect and had plenty of chicken. The Tawa Roti wasn't my favorite, but I wanted to try something new. I still prefer naan but the roti was dense and thin, and still worked to eat the plenty of curry I had.

If you're like me - and wanting to try a bit of everything - the Breakfast Combo is the way to go. The Egg Silsi is like a perfectly mild Shakshuka, and the Kinche and FirFir along with made for a wonderful infusion of flavors, textures, and savory spices that were unlike anything I have ever had for breakfast before. Everything went beautifully with the spongey goodness of the Injera. Ethiopian flavors are just so... cool. I don't know how else to describe it but this just hit different. Plus, a reliable cup of home-brewed coffee? Say less.

Coffee/tea options? Two thumbs up. Food? Outstanding. Seriously, I loved it from start to finish. I showed up on a Tuesday morning with my laptop and an empty stomach. There's lots of seating inside (with great natural light throughout, it's just such a warm, cozy space), and a few tables outside as well. I ordered the Keshir team (ginger, orange juice, and honey), which totally hit the spot. I could not resist the breakfast combo, which comes with egg silsi (scrambled eggs in tomato sauce with onion), kinche (bulgur cooked and tossed with yellow onion and clarified butter and topped with jalapenos), firfir (injera sauteed in a spicy tomato sauce), and injera. I SCRAPED the plate. Everything was delicious. Just thinking about it now, I wish there was a Buna Kurs in Baltimore, so I could eat this for breakfast once a week. One of the best breakfasts I've had this year. No joke. I love Ethiopian food, and I am so jealous that Richmond has an Ethiopian cafe. Ethiopian for breakfast?! A dream. It doesn't hurt that the service and ambiance are also great. Easy street parking to boot. A great place to work. The only thing that I'd recommend to them is that a few more outlets to charge laptops or phones would be nice - so that people can work from the cafe more easily! But otherwise, Buna Kurs is pretty much perfect in my view. Dream breakfast. Great cafe. Couldn't love it more.

We were in the mood for Indian food and this restaurant was the closest. Upon arrival, I noticed…read morethere are plenty of parking spaces. Next, they have a nice outdoor seating area which many took advantage of because the weather was beautiful for an end of May day. Once inside, I didn't see a host, but a gentlemen at the bar asked how many. He looked like the owner. A second later, we were seated by our waiter. I went to the bathroom to wash my hands and everything was clean and easily accessible. We ordered the garlic naan. It came with 2 big pieces and a green dipping sauce that tastes like cilantro. Yum! We were so hungry I forgot to take a picture. For dinner, I had the Chicken Tikka Masala. It had onions and pepper and it was a gravy with a buttery taste. It came with basmati rice. It was amazing! My husband that loves spicy food ordered the Lamb Shahi Korma with a side of heat sauce. He said the hot sauce was very flavorful and the lamb was tender. Everything was sooooo good, we needed extra basmati rice and it was included. Overall, the ambience was pleasant and relaxing. The employees were super nice. I did have to put on my jacket because it was a little cold for me inside, but I love it that way. When we left, we were sent off with goodbyes and thank you. We definitely will return. We want to check out their buffet. As a tip, if you go online to their website, you can see a picture of all of their menu items. One thing though, my internet was spotty inside, so you might want to do that beforehand including transferring money if that's something you might need to do.

Recommendations: dosas, saag with mozzarella (may be named something else), vegetarian dishes were better than the meat dishes; people liked the cauliflower 65 Affordability: good, well-priced Ambiance: lots of tables, accommodating for large groups & let us bring in an outside cake for the celebration Service: attentive, frequently checked in Good for: large groups, large menu (vegetarian options)

The paneer was firm and rich. The gravy was oilier than I prefer but it did not detract from the dish. Maybe it was an off day but service was not what I would expect. In fact, I felt that taking care of us was a n inconvenience to both servers who came to our table and the host who never spoke to us.

I didn't hear any noise or banging so it surprised me. Lol. Anyways, my coffee came out hot, with a water and a large smile on Murats face. It was delicious!
