How do you say “great family restaurant” in Ethiopian?

This casual, local restaurant across from the Nate Holden Center is terrific for children or for a fun adult meal.  Moms will like the healthy food choices and low-key atmosphere and kids will appreciate eating with their hands off big communal trays with the classic Injera bread.  Educational too! Gracious owners, Mekonnen Feleke and his wife Alen, are happy to share information about their homeland or discuss the decorations. I took a friend who had eaten in Ethiopia with an honest-to-God Ethiopian princess.  She thought the cuisine was very tasty, authentic and, most importantly, less expensive than the Ethiopian restaurants on Fairfax.  I recommend the vegetarian or chicken/beef sampler platters. The hors d’oeuvres and desserts were delicious, too. Check out the $12 Sunday lunch buffet and the Ethiopian coffee and tea. Yay! Another affordable, informal, interesting restaurant in our neighborhood!  Support it!
