      First time trying ethiopian cuisine. The owner/manager was warm and friendly. He was also quite generous with his time in suggesting and introducing menu items and tastings. Pleasant all around. Fun and full of flavors, thoroughly enjoyed the fare.

      The ambiance besides welcoming, friendly service...is wonderful music. Seemed to have begun sometime after 7pm. This night it was quite mellow and relaxing. Played some original kick-back tunes as well as some favorite oldies.

      Would be happy to return and try other dishes and repeat performances from the menu. Thumbs up!

      Everything was perfect, the jazz band was an excellent compliment to the food. The server was attentive and helped us make some great selections. Would definitely come back again and again!

      The food was not good at all. I ordered the chicken tibs. I could tell the veggies had been sitting for a while. The hours of operations posted online are not accurate, including the hours posted for Saturday

      Excellent Eritrean Ethiopian food and service . Great entertainment by folk Singer John Silvers . He writes his own songs and sings them while playing guitar . Quaint warehouse atmosphere slats of wood on walls and nice art arrangements on other side. Loved the Shrimp with vegetables the humous and the greens . John reforms every last Sunday night of the month no cover charge tips but appreciated .

      Good Ethiopian/Eritrean food! The owner is super nice. Wednesday night is open mic music by locals! Almost every night has live jazz. So fun!

      This is a tasty place for folks who aren't used to authentic cuisine or who prefer blander palates. The owners are great. The prices, however, for the amount of food, and the lack of flavor are not so great.

      We highly recommend Inglewood Ethiopian restaurants and were excited to find a restaurant serving Ethiopian dishes nearby, but this is not a place we recommend unless you are looking for a much blander version of Ethiopian eats.

      The owner is a charming man though, and the restaurant itself is very cute- he took time to orient my partner and myself to the layout of the store and show us where the Live Band! plays outdoors.

      Eat food made with love and hear music made for love. This place is very special. My favorite thing to eat here is the vegetarian plate, but my carnivorous companions leave happy too. I bring friends here all the time and they always thank me to introducing them to the place. A local business worth supporting!

      I've been going here since the kids were babies. Restaurant has a family-feel. Aron the owner, and his wife are welcoming, food is delicious. Have since celebrated 2 high school graduations there... and my daughter's collaborative art show. And check out the evening live jazz.. music is always great!!!!

      i had my birthday dinner here and it was the best place i could've picked for it! the live music and ambience was so warm and comforting, and i felt very at home immediately. the host was so attentive and welcoming and we had great service throughout the entire night, and the food!! so so delicious, and overall cant recommend this restaurant enough!

      ordered a large platter to sample different meat and veggie dishes to share with friends :)
