Amazing vegan food!!! I came in 30 minutes before closing and I was treated with such kindness and welcoming hospitality. I bought two of the veggie combo and everything on there is OUT OF THIS WORLD. Try it all, you will not be disappointed.

I highly recommend Sora Ethiopian Market Cafe on 5145 Duke St, Alexandria, VA 22304. The customer service is exceptional, and their Ethiopian dishes transport me back to the amazing flavors I experienced in Ethiopia. Its a musttry for anyone craving authentic Ethiopian cuisine. My friend and I both loved it Ethiopian Restaurants.
