We celebrated Mother's Day at this restaurant after a nice walk at the Mile Run in the Hansen Dam Park. When you walk in you'll be transported to the golden age of Hollywood cowboys with their murals. We were seated immediately and our order was taken quickly after. The restaurant was a bit busy so it took some time to receive out order but not much. The food and coffee were great. I got french toast, hash browns, and a side of Ethiopian veggies. The service we got was amazing because the owners are their working with smiles on. Come to the Valley and checkout this small and quaint family owned restaurant.

Very cute and cozy restaurant. Layback atmosphere. Could spend hours here looking at the decor. The meals were cooked to perfection. I mean you can’t really mess sunny side up eggs? They have wine and beer. I come here to try Ethiopian style food. I heard it’s delicious. Can’t go wrong with vegan. Deli style food is delicious too.

Great little spot! I’ve driven by occasionally for years, never realized they have an Ethiopan Menu. Got the Summer fresh Vegan tacos and lentil sambusas to go. Both really tasty. Will definitely be back for a proper sit down meal.

Just ate the veggie plate and it was truly delicious!! And my wife ordered the BBQ tri tip sandwich with coleslaw and she said it was quite flavorful. Thank you so much, we'll be back ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Stopped by for a quick breakfast before getting back on the road. Ordered the french toast with sausage. Good food, decent prices. Small comfortable atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.

Classic Diner videos with Ethiopian and Mexican influences. Wonderful vegetarian dish. Veggie plate with Injera /Teff bread. Right off the freeway with easy parking. Great stop!
