    Delicious yemisir wat. Great Mushroom tibsy. Vegan section is big. The tej goes great with the meal on a warm evening. Portions are huge. Expect to need someone to roll you away. The food here is so good you can't stop.

    Shewhat never disappoints! The food is so fresh and flavorful. The owners are so attentive and helpful. I love the outdoor patio space. If I could give it more stars I would!

    Wow wow wow. This place is awesome. Amazing inside/outside patio. We had the Shewhat sampler and had our minds completely blown. My favorite was the greens, my partners favorite was the Sambusas and the beef. I don't think you can miss with this place. The owner was sweet and accommodating! Will be coming back
