If you want to try something different, authentic, cultural, and unique, this is the little mom & pop restaurant is for you! Very authentic Ethiopian with different flavors and no forks; Ethiopian cuisine is meant to be ate with your hands. I highly suggest the Sampler Platter to try a bit of everything.

My favorite hidden gem in Omaha! Although the store front is a candy store, it quickly turns into an eclectic collection of antiques from every corner of the country. Then you find the fun stuff; a hidden movie theater, a treasured arcade of vintage pinball machines, and so much more! Truly a fun place to explore.
