    If you have never experienced Ethiopian cuisine, you are missing out. I highly recommend going to Das. Bring friends and order 3-4 different items for the table to be shared. It will elevate the experience. This cuisine does not use utensils, instead you are given a type of bread that you scope the food with to eat. It gives the table something to talk about because there is an activity involved while eating. The price is low and the quality is high!!!! Get an Ethiopian beer or try the traditional honey wine also!

    Restaurant was lovely. We had live music, which was quite enjoyable. Food was terrific-we got the largest combo platter, which had many vegetarian and several meat entrees. There was a good level of heat. Would definitely recommend/return.

    This was my first time at Letena and it was excellent! Will definitely be back. My table shared a platter and each item was delicious. The restaurant smelled amazing when you walked in the door. Servers constantly kept my water full.
