Needs 6 stars or more - Edit
Can’t say enough good things about this place. They perform some sort of magical alchemy with their flavors. One of the best restaurants I’ve ever had. Great atmosphere, service, variety of dishes. The nachos are other worldly.

Great food but poor service - Edit
If it had been for the food, I would have given 5 stars but the service was really bad. Server was confused and they were out of kambucha as well as the iced tea I chose instead. So I ended up with water (and it took a long time to get it). Anyway, the food was very good. We had the nacho appetizer and the chicken sandwich.

really great experience - Edit
My friend and I had brunch at RAS on a weekend. The service was great and the food all good. We shared the mac and cheese which was very creamy and flavorful. I had the breakfast special which included a really good egg substitute other good foods. In terms of spiciness, I would say it was somewhat spicy to moderately spicy, so if you're not fond of spicy food, ask your server if there are less spicy options. The injera was perfect. Can't wait to go back to try more things on the menu.

Cons: maybe a bit pricy, but what place isn't these days

Finally, Vegan Ethiopian I Loved! - Edit
Whenever we go to a new place, my husband seeks out a vegan Ethiopian restaurant, which he loves. Me, not so much. FINALLY we found one that made us both happy. The menu has plenty of veganized versions of Ethiopian standards (served on injera), but many (more creative) other options. Tofu in Berber sauce, berbere Mac & Cheese, lots of salads, and unbelievably delicious injera nachos. Very cool vibe with gorgeous murals on every wall. Fabulous on every dimension.

A very memorable experience! Must try! - Edit
Highly recommend. Creative and really awesome Ethiopian food. We had Injera nachos, the Ras tips plate (with seitan), and the Piassa plate with a bunch of very flavorful veggies and lentils. The drinks were awesome too, and we ended the meal with the coconut leches cake.

Amazing Brunch Spot - Edit
Amazing place for vegan Ethiopian food but their Americanized brunch is also delish!
Read moreWe got the Ethiopian breakfast combo, the spiced Mac & cheese, the kitfo breakfast burrito, and the French toast plus yummy drinks!
Highly recommend getting there to try their brunch! The French toast was phenomenal! We brought non-vegan family from out of town and they were thoroughly impressed! Can’t wait to go back!
Pros: Large portions, Great for sharing, Delish brunch

Good Ethiopian food but slowish service and limited AC - Edit
Ordered the Nachos, Mercato Platter, and Mama’s Tofu. The food was good with strong spices but felt a bit greasy and heavy. The injera was really good, and the nachos were our favorite. The platter provides a nice spread with some really good options and some less exciting ones (such as the collard greens that were a bit underseasoned).
Read moreThe restaurant had a fun vibe and ambience, but there was very limited AC even in the back (the front windows/doors were open even on a hot summer night like tonight). The servers were friendly but not the most attentive (e.g., water refills) and the main entrees came out a long time after the starter.

Everything was great - Edit
Flavors were awesome, especially the nachos. Great cocktail selection. Enough spice but not overwhelming. The service and atmosphere were perfect.

Everything was delicious - Edit
I'm definitely coming back here a bunch of times to try the whole menu! Great food and service.
Read moreThey could be a little too attentive for my personal taste on occasion, though. For example, even though they left a water pitcher on our table, they kept refilling our cups for us. We don’t need that level of attention!
