"It had been a long day of traveling and I was hungry after only having a small serving of oats for breakfast. Luckily, my friend suggested trying Ethiopian food at Makeda. The atmosphere was lovely with pleasant music playing, and on Thursday nights they even have live jazz. We ordered a veggie platter along with a lamb and beef dish, accompanied by two delicious beers. The meal was amazing, with flavors that blended perfectly and left us all completely satisfied. The veggie platter had us reconsidering vegetarianism, while the lamb dish reminded us why we could never give up meat. The experience of tearing pieces of bread to pick up the food made for a communal meal that we savored. The service was excellent and our waitress's recommendation was spot on. I highly recommend Makeda for a perfect dining experience. Bring someone here for a first date if you want them to fall in love with you, because as they say, "love and joy spring from the stomach!""
