The service was great from the door to the plate. The hostess greeted us with a giant smile and we were sat down immediately without reservation. Which is a plus on a Saturday night. Our waiter was nice as well and offered a nice drink substitution for the honey wine. I can't recall the name of the drink but it was a hibiscus tea with honey. We ordered the entree where we could try a little of everything. The ambiance of the place was good. The place embodied the right about of light. It wasn't too dark or too bright and there wasn't loud music where you can have a conversation. If you like Ethiopian food, it's definitely worth the try because the food and experience was great!

Cozy spot with great service, attentive and helpful with suggestions and explanations I like that the food had the authentic names to each dish.Even though it was hard to decipher what exactly each dish was, it stayed true to the culture which I can appreciate. I have to admit the food is not very photogenic, but it did taste good. I feel like we got to try a little of everything by getting the sampler options. I would highly recommend taking that option when trying for the first time. I also ordered the mint tea, which was a great choice because it was so warm and comforting, especially with the cold rainy day we visited. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who's never tried Ethiopian food before.

We enjoyed a brunch here on a busy Sunday. Plus for being able to seat 7! Overall, the vibe is…read moresuper cozy and warm but sophisticated. The brunch menu has all the classics but with a Lebanese twist. They also feature their entire regular menu too so you will find something. I tried to the Middle Eastern eggs which came with fried eggs, humus, labne, salad, and a pita. It's pricey at $16 but it was a well balanced and flavored meal. My husband got a granola bowl with honey and fruit and it was a very generous portion with some amazing fresh fruit! Overall, give it a try for both brunch classics or to try something new!

The bread was tough/stale on one side and the baba ganouj was pricey for the amount given and it also didn't taste as good as the one at I had at the Jersey City location. Please pay attention when putting a to-go order together. Inside was really tiny. I have to say, I would not go back to this location. The Jersey City location has their stuff together. I'll definitely return there.

For vegetarian options, the paneer tikka was smoky and well-charred, and the saag was creamy without losing that earthy greens flavor. The Jackfruit curry was a nice try and well-spiced -- simple done right. We also loved the fusion touches. Portions were generous, the naan was fresh and hot, and the service was attentive throughout. A great mix of authentic flavor and creative twists -- highly recommend for a night out in Montclair.

I make mention that there are 5 empty tables. I confirm they close at 9pm and he states this is correct. He then proceeds to say they are running out of food and only have enough for the people who made reservations. It is hard to believe that 15 people are coming at the last minute to order large quantities of food. Another Black family was walking up and we warned them they would be denied service as we were.

We had takeout dinner from Brick City Vegan in Montclair this week…read more I had a Power Bowl and a few stolen sweet potato fries from my husband's order. For my bowl, I went with a quinoa base, black eyed peas, tons of veggies, and jalapeño chipotle dressing on the side. We also ordered fruit smoothies.

First off, our server Larry was phenomenal. Genuine, funny, and gave us thoughtful recommendations…read more My partner and I came in for a 7pm reservation to sit at the bar area - one vegetarian, one vegan. Larry was very accommodating, and helped compose a vegan dish from the setup of another dish. He was considerate to recommend something that would feel "substantial" - something that I really appreciated. It's already a bit inconvenient to come up with a dish on the spot, but to go the extra mile by caring that it would be satisfying as a main dish was really very kind. And it turned out fantastic. This restaurant has so much going for it in the quality of its ingredients and dish compositions. I would encourage the chef to consider how the can apply their creativity to a dedicated vegan dish as well. There's a big world to explore in creating modern, high end, plant-based dishes and I think this restaurant would hit it out of the park ! :)

My favorite entree is the vegetarian platter for two, called Vegan Strong, which includes freshly prepared tofu, hummus, delicious bread, and a variety of vegetables.

The smoothies are excellent; my favorite is the protein bomb. The atmosphere includes many local people enjoying a break from their jobs or school assignments.
