We've been wanting to try this spot for a long time since there aren't many Ethiopian spots in Boston and it was super yummy! We ordered the Single Lamb combo (medium spicy) to share and were given the option of 2 sides. We picked the potatoes and pureed split peas and surprisingly we loved the split peas! The puréed texture was great for dipping the injera since it soaked up all the sauce. The lamb was also flavored well and had spices dancing in my mouth. Considering we weren't super hungry, for 2 we just ordered this one dish then ordered an additional side of injera to share and that was the perfect amount. Although it was a little pricey at $25 for a single portion of lamb combo, it was worth it. The food came out quickly and the restaurant was decently empty mid afternoon on a Saturday so we had the option to sit wherever we liked. What we ordered: - Combo 1 Lamb Medium Spicy w/potatoes and split peas

An absolutely delicious no-frills Ethiopian restaurant! I'd recommend going at non-peak hours and ordering less than the menu suggests (ie. the combo for 2 easily serves 3) Pros + Delicious food and huge portions + So many vegetarian options + Very reasonably priced Cons - Can get quite crowded at peak hours, would recommend showing up early

This was the best Ethiopian food I've had in Boston. Going at a non-peak time makes the experience even better because it's quiet. The service is great and I would go back if it wasn't so far away from me. Great environment all around.

very nice simple spot, nothing fancy, but very interesting and GOOD food...it's catercorner from Symphony Hall, wish I'd known about it years ago! Not for dates unless they are a little adventuresome and don't need any frills... Try the peanut tea, and barley drink...surprising and good! It's a great find for me! Very nice staff who are happy to see you!

Food here is excellent and great service to match! It's not easy finding parking, but a little walk ain't never hurt nobody. I'll park a couple blocks down and make my way. The place has few seating, but I've never seen it jam packed. There's cool wall art and a nice handwritten menu. I honestly can't tell you the names of the dishes that we order, but the veggies are what I love the most. The greens, cabbage and carrots. A little potato. So delicious. I do remember the "telba" shake with flaxseed and it's soooo good!! This is hands down, one of my favorite places to eat in Boston.

Food is always great. Excellent service. This place is always clean. Decorative wall art

It was 5 of us visiting Boston, and wanted to try something new. It was a nice and quiet atmosphere, we went there for lunch. The food was ok, I was not a fan of bread, but it's a specific taste that some people love. My friends liked it and we did eat everything . Service was nice I recommend to try something new, and you will decide if it's for you or not.

Highly recommend this cozy, convenient location at Symphony. The service here is mostly self-service as it seems to be a small business owned and run by few people, but our order came out in time. We ordered, like many others have recommended for this restaurant, the Lega Tibs and Addis Combo. The food arrived at the same time and it was so fun to alternate around the different flavors, dipping the food using Injera (the rolled flatbread-looking, made out of teff flour). Injera has a soft, sponge texture that actually filled me up surprisingly. None of the dish were too salty or blend, We ordered some drinks (the traditional tea, I forgot the name, and some mango drink which was nothing too special). Given the price this place offers, I think this was a great find. Highly recommend Bostonians or visitors to try out here especially if you don't know much about Ethiopian food. I cannot imagine leaving this place dissatisfied.

Food is great. The injera is the perfect level of sour. For the meat, we got Kega (beef) Tibs. Really rich flavor and tender meat. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. For the veggies, we got: Gomen (collard greens) Miser Wot (red lentil stew) Dinch Wot (potatoes+carrots) Tikle Gomen (cabbage+carrots+green beans) It was all very rich and delicious. Also very filling!
