Great authentic food with a magnificent coffee
Hello, I am addicted to this place the flavors are amazing we mainly order the Nanyea platter.and sambusas. The meat is very tender both the beef, and chicken that come with the platter ! I eat here at least twice a week and I don’t do that.. I love to cook! But I’m happily hooked!
Delightful service and delicious food! The hot tea is very special
Food is fantastic with a casual dining ambiance. The service is great; it kind of feels like you're visiting relatives, and they're getting you food. The coffee is quite the experience, and the tea is great as well! I had the wet tibs as well as sambusa, which was delightful.
After a long day, I drove 20 minutes to celebrate my birthday at Nanyea and they were closed even though both their website and Google hours showed that they were open. :( Drove another 20 minutes to find somewhere else to eat, which is not a fun thing to do on one's birthday. Called the next day to enquire about their hours and the person who I spoke with was not bothered. She said, "If we are slow, we close early. It's not worth staying open for a few customers. If we are slow for lunch or early dinner, we just decide to close." Disappointed that this was not made known on their website or Google that hours vary and to call ahead. Wanted to make others aware so that their trip to Nanyea and dinner is not ruined as well.
Service was very slow. Seems like the restaurant is family run with minimal staff. We waited 80 min for our food. The food was alright. Would not return
I came early for the 11am breakfast. The food was great and super flavorful. Wish I had time to do the dinner. The coffee was on point.
What an amazing Ethiopian food with a great service! If you are around Dayton area make sure to visit you will not regret your experience!
I ordered the dry beef tibs and found it to be an unexpected dish with more tomatoes, carrots and onions than meat. My opinion is that the name of the food should be changed or improved.
We 10/10 recommend this place if you are looking to explore a new restraunt in the Dayton area! The restraunt has a charming, cozy interior that also really contributes to the overall experience. This was the first time we've tried an Ethiopian cuisine, and this restraunt has definitely opened the door for our desire to try more than Ethiopian food! Everyone in the Dayton area should give this place a shot. For the people interested in Ethiopian food who don't know much about it: we absolutely loved the Nanyea Platter, which was very different for us! The Injera is spongy flatbread-like and we used it to eat the "Tibs," which is a hybrid stir fry and stew with an unbelievable blend of Ethiopian spice. The platter came with multiple tibs to eat with the Injera: beef, chicken, and vegetables. You don't use utensils–the Injera is basically the utensil! This was unlike anything either of us have had in the past, but we absolutely loved it! The Sambusa for the appetizer was awesome too–inside was also spiced up with Ethiopian spices and mixed with lentils, jalapeño, and onion. For the last course, we ordered Ethiopian coffee serviced in a Jebena (a traditional Ethiopian coffee pot made from clay) which came with a cute coffee mug and incense. We can't wait to come back!
So good. So so good! This place was delightful and absolutely charmed us. The space is inviting, the smells of spices and incense greet you before even making it to the door, and the food is just seeped in flavors. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu, so do not sleep on this place!
The staff were so nice and helpful. The place was decorated so nicely inside. The mango smoothies were refreshing. We ordered 4 sambusas, the Nanyea platter, and extra Injera (the spongy sourdough bread). Everything was delicious! You won't be disappointed! The platter had beef tibs, chicken tibs in dishes, then in the center was the vegetables that were red lentils, beets, carrots/cabbage, collard greens, then chickpeas. Our 8 and 10 year old ate it all up too. It was a great price and we all left with happy full bellies. We drove an hour to eat here, and it was worth it!
We came here for a date night and had an amazing meal! If you like spicy food, this place is a must - the awase tibs put my mouth on fire (just the way I like it). They have some milder options as well. The injera was delicious and a pleasantly different way to eat the meal. The place was very clean and service was good. We'll definitely be making this a regular place for dining out.
Challenge your pallet, and treat your tastebuds. The food was delicious, and you eat with your hands.
Went in for some food to take home, ordered the pick 3 combo and said "give me what ever you would order" Was not disappointed! Will definitely be ordering again soon🥰🥰
Sooo good! I was so happy to find a restaurant with vegan options and I love Ethiopian food so it was a double score! Service was fast also
Great food including gluten-free options. Good prices and good service. Definitely plan to come back
