This Ethiopian dining concept offers a unique cultural and culinary experience in a rapidly growing urban district within the Seattle metropolitan area. The business operates from a modern, recently constructed space and includes a fully equipped commercial kitchen, comfortable indoor seating, outdoor patio space, and a bar with a liquor license eligible for transfer to a new owner.

The restaurant serves authentic cuisine rooted in longstanding family tradition, and its brand name is fully trademarked. In addition to regular dining services, the restaurant periodically hosts live music events that reflect the historic cultural character of the surrounding community. The business maintains an active online presence across major social platforms.

Demand remains consistent throughout the year, with seasonal increases during the summer months. The operation is supported by a small, reliable team and additional seasonal staff as needed. Catering has become an increasingly meaningful component of the revenue mix, supported by a dedicated vehicle and established relationships with local corporate clients.

The current owner has invested significantly into the build-out (approximately $350,000) resulting in a modern, fully turnkey operation that requires no immediate capital improvements. All furniture, fixtures, equipment, and catering-related assets are included in the sale. Limited net profitability reflects reinvestment into the business rather than lack of demand. A new owner would inherit a structurally sound, well-equipped operation with substantial potential for growth.
