There are “cuter” spots but we went with our gut - and our taste buds were not disappointed in the slightest. In fact, this spot has the best Ethiopian food (and service) that we’ve ever had.

Such incredible food, oh my goodness! A true hidden gem in San Diego. Very kind staff, very much family owned and operated kind of vibe. It’s not a place you go for ambiance, it’s one of those super authentic hope in the wall kind of spots. Will definitely be back!!
