"Another lovely dinner to cap off a wild work week. I was hosting one of our consultants again and a group of us decided to decompress after two days of hard work. I try to experience new restaurants and cuisines each time so that my guest leaves with a favorable impression of NJ and we get to put money back into black owned businesses and other business of color. This time around one of my co workers recommended this Ethiopian spot and I was delighted to learn no one in my party had ever had Ethiopian food. This place is interesting because they serve Ethiopian and Dominican food. It actually worked out nicely because two of us got the Ethiopian and the others the Dominican and we shared bites. Overall the food was pretty good. The beef empanadas were stellar and I loved the two gomen I had. Portions are...restrained which is great because I wasnt too stuffed to walk as I usually am after eating Ethiopian. My friend did not enjoy her mofongo texture was strange to her. The person who had never had Ethiopian cleaned his plate. Service was outstanding and I'd go again just for that. Tables were good. I requested the 1/2 booth 1/2 chairs for my party and it was ready to go when we walked in. They do not take American Express so be aware. Free parking was available at the far end of the strip mall. In 2 weeks after the summer starts I bet parking will be a pipe dream. Until then enjoy!"
