The best Ethiopian restaurant in Portland in my opinion. I appreciate especially as a celiac, that their injera is truly authentic with just Teff and automatically gluten free (unlike many other ethiopian retaurants who use cheap wheat flour). Both ladies are so kind and accomodating to allergies, the portions are massive and it's just so delicious! We always order the aberus combination without dairy (it's automatically gluten free). It has a great variety of curries from beef, chicken and vegetarian to eat. One of my husband's and my favorite spots in the city - definitely check it out!

My wife and I love the veggie combo 1&2. Delicious plant based (vegan friendly) meals. The twin sisters are very friendly and welcoming. Don't miss out on this gem. Oh yeah, the Ethiopian coffee is to die for!

The food was awesome. I had the Vegetable Combo #2 & the Doro Wot. I love Ethiopian food & this is some of the best I’ve had. The Injera was perfection. The lentils were wonderful. The collards (gomen) was almost creamy with a great flavor. Beets were mild & good texture. The Doro Wot “sauce” was perfectly spiced. The owner was really nice. My husband & I ate about 65% of the food, so we had plenty of leftovers. Our two friends had the Vegetable Combo #3 which seemed like less food than the #2, and they ate about 80% of the food but still had leftovers. Looking forward to eating my leftovers tomorrow. It was a 40-minute drive for me & I’m still really glad I went. I originally planned on visiting for my birthday in February but things got in the way, and I’ve been looking forward to this meal ever since. If I lived next to this place, I would get takeout once a week.
