Went for my Mom's 78th birthday, as she has always wanted to try Ethiopian/Eritrean food. Easy to locate, ample parking, nicely decorated. We went on a Wednesday evening, so the place was not crowded. The owner greeted us and assisted us with our order. While we were dining, she brought us samples of a few other dishes. This place is great, food is very tasty and healthy. Prices are beyond reasonable and portions were large. Most dishes are served over injera (a bread-like utensil). We will be back.

After reading last weeks comment from Dazio, I felt compelled to write my comment. I once visited Asmara Eritrean Restaurant and was excited to try this ethnic food. First of all the waitress was not personable at all and seemed very put out by being there. The food was not fresh, and the injera (a bread-like utensil)is the most horrible tasting "bread" I have ever tasted. In all fairness, it has been quite a while since that visit and maybe they have imroved.
