  How I heard of this place: The Asress family opened their restaurant a few years ago and it wasn't long before their loving demeanor and welcome embrace attracted numbers of us!
  Type of cuisine: Italian, Mediterranean, Ethiopian
  Ambiance: Bright and modern with rich, warm colors in deep browns, reds and yellows welcome you as you enter the spacious restaurant which includes an espresso bar! Perfect for casual dining with friends, dinner out with the family, and a relaxed, easy atmosphere for a date with your sweetie! Plenty of indoor seating and one outdoor option give you flexibility in your seating preferences.
  What I ordered: Fana is such an amazing cook that I often leave my dining choice up to her very capable selection! Vahid, the son of Fana and Captain Asress, greeted us with a large smile as we approached the restaurant and welcomed us in. Sabrina, his sister, brought us ice water as we selected our seats near the large floor to ceiling windows that line the front of the restaurant. Fana prepared a large vegetarian platter for the two of us, beautifully presented on a large, white plate fully covered with injera. Each mound of vegetarian delicacies (including timatim fifit, lentils, collard geens, salad, and cabbage) lined the perimeter of the ingera, with the lentils carefully poured in the middle.
  What I loved: My dining companion most loved the lentils and then the potato & carrot dish, followed by the injera salad and the cabbage & carrot dish. I have a very hard time deciding my favorite of the options on the vegetarian platter! Each bite of the various dishes lead me to believe that that one was the best! And as I would sample another dish or return to one of the previous dishes, I found that each bite continued to get better and more satisfying! I do admit, that I'm most happy to have saved room to eat the flat injera on the plate, saturated with the sauces of each dish!
  Why I loved it: I love that the Asress family is so present, hospitable and warm. They welcome you with open arms, a loving smile and a delicious, home-cooked meal. Being at Fana's cuisine feels like being with family.
  Cost: Low to average ($6-$15 for dinner entrees)

  This place is horrible. I live near here and  made the mistake if eating here. I ordered sambussa they had it had already been cooked. They re fried it and sold it to me.
  By the time I got home, the bag in which they placed it was so Greasy it had seeped into the interior of my car seat. I've talked with people that live in the building where they are camped out, they will Not Eat here! I've witnessed these people carry numerous bags of garbage out of this place, no way the amount of garbage I saw brought out of here and put into s car, is 1 days worth. They are known to sleep in his place! The big girl that works the counter needs a hair net and clean her nails and new shoes! The older lady is the cook I'm just glad i didn't get a chance to see her God only knows what she looked like.
  I would not recommend this pit to anyone yuck!!!""!!

  This is a small cafe run by a brother, sister and  their mother from Ethiopia. They've been here a long time, have run their cafe for 7 years, and the food is excellent.
  
  The space is not large but there are lots of windows on a quiet parking lot, and lots of places to sit.  They also do take-out, catering, and have fresh foods in two coolers.
  
  We go there weekly for breakfast and conversation. It's always a pleasure.
