We came here for my friend's 22nd birthday dinner last night, and it was my first time trying Ethiopian food. The manager greeted us very sweetly, and our table was already ready when we got there. The place is a bit small and cramped, and a little stuffy because the heater was on for the people outside on the patio.
I shared the vegetarian Shiro entree, and had vegetarian sambusas. The sambusas were really good, but they crumble easily so eat it over a plate or a napkin. The shiro was amazing! I'm so glad I shared it because I would not be able to finish it myself! You have to use your hands/fingers to eat the food, and it was a cool experience. The crepey looking thing was so strange, I loved it! The chickpeas were blended and were a bit hummus-y, and they tasted amazing. Even some of my carnivore friends prefer the chickpeas in comparison to their own meaty dish.
I also had the honey wine and I thought it was delicious! The people I shared it with did not think so.. lol.
The staff were also kind enough to give the birthday boy a free cake! It's the coconut one and it was AMAZING. We were all surprised and we all shared it.
I'm definitely coming back, this restaurant just became one of my favorites!

Thanks for giving me such an unbelievably amazing time. You are truly a MUSIC and ARTS festival.
I love the H&M tent. I swear, it gets better every year.
It was way too hot this year, but who cares, we're in a desert, it's expected!
Love the supermarket shuttles, the one hour wait in line is worth it.
The line to get into Coachella was a lot faster this year, I didn't have to put my car into neutral and push it!
I love you. Have I told you that already? No? Well, I do. Very much so.

AMAZING.
like, completely AMAZING.
Yeah, I car camped in the desert and burnt my nose in 2010. My friend's car needed a power jump in 2011. Had to miss a few of my favorite bands to take care of my really good friends. Ate the worst food imaginable. Got lost a few times. Almost died waiting at the main stage all day for Muse. Texting/phone calls were lost. Shitty warm alcohol. Stuck in traffic for hours. Horse shit everywhere. Bad tans.
Worth it? F*** YEAH!
best time of my life.
best weekend(s) of my life.
best memories.
best pals.
amazing music. art. culture. people. tattoos. outfits.
the lights.
fireworks.
balloons.
free water.
i. am. addicted.
i can't even explain it anymore.
just go.
I really tried to like you, really, I did. You're RIGHT by my community college, and it's so convenient for me to go to this location rather than the El Cajon one (MY FAVE BTW), but you're making it really hard for me to like you. Believe me, I tried.
I ate at this place many times by myself, and the service/food really disappoints me..
A few weeks ago, I ordered the Royal Noodle Soup and it was completely bland... Like water. I tried to refrain myself from the lack of flavor, but I couldn't fake it and had to tell the waitress to get me a new one... I'm not trying to be a brat, but it tasted really bad. Later that same evening, they gave me the wrong check, and didn't refill my water (c'mon LH, I'm eating spicy food here...). I went to the place a few times after that, and didn't order the soup because I was afraid that it might taste bland again.
However, last night, I went and ordered the Royal Noodle Soup again. But this time, I asked the waitress if they can add extra lemongrass and spice to it (just in case, I didn't want the watery broth again). It took them a while, but 20 minutes later, I finally got my food... and the noodles were clumpy. It's like the chef didn't even try to separate it (you can look at my pics to see). And like before, no refills for my water... I literally had to hail a waitress over -- most of them look really lost. I'm guessing they're new?
I'm not sure if I should give you guys another try, but if I do, please do not disappoint me again! Let me like you!

The El Cajon location spoiled me, and although the food here is great, I'm not digging everything else.
- They gave me an outdated menu, so I had to look at my boyfriend's menu to see more selections. (And their menus are similar to the togo menus at the El Cajon location..)
- Had to wait about 15 minutes for my food after they served my bf's entree.
- My boyfriend didn't really like the rice here. (And they didn't give us the option of choosing either white/brown rice.)
- 4 chicken tenders for +$4? Not worth it, IMO.
- Missing pictures on the menu.
Pros?
- Easy to find. (huge sign)
- Booths!
- Decent sized parking lot.
I think I'll stick to the El Cajon location.

The management are SO nice, and aren't condescending like Las Flores.
They're currently under a lot of construction, but even then, they still give their best customer service.
I haven't had much interaction with management recently, but from what I've seen so far, I really like them! :) They were kind enough to let me have a weekend pass (even though Las Flores only gives us one night guest passes) and were able to accomodate maintenance in a more professional fashion then Las Flores.
Keep it up Avana!

I'm only here Monday and Wednesday nights, and it's not too creepy/bad.
I like how the parking structure is right next to the math building.
I love the chairs (it haz wheeellss)!
I haven't been to a lot of community colleges, but this is by far the cleanest!
There's a lot of traffic getting off the 15, so come early!

UGH. I haven't moved in yet and I already HATE the management.
First, they forgot our appointment, second, they were rude to us when we showed up saying that we didn't have one....!?!?, third, they made my friend late to work, fourth, they were VERY unprofessional (not getting the lease ready, making us wait 30 minutes when it's finals week and we were all busy).. The woman forgot to tell us a lot of important things, and we had to remind her, and she wasn't very helpful when we were asking her questions about the lease (bedbugs!?)... They're lucky I'm poor and can't afford much better.
I will update this later obviously when I move in, but right now, I am not happy.
Aside from that, there's a cool arcade in the back, not enough seats, friendly peeps, long benchy tables, and not enough seats.
I ordered the bread stick thingy, since I wasn't that hungry, the the pizzas my friends got looked amazing! I had to squeeze between two of my friends because there were not enough seats.
I don't know if you read my previous review in November, but the manager supposedly wrote down my contact information and was supposed to follow up on a question I asked.
It is now Feb., and I haven't heard back from him.
So, if I had to talk to the manager because Dalia from the front desk couldn't answer my question, and if the manager couldn't answer my question, who should I go to?
Terrible customer service. Really.

Hey Dalia from the Front Desk --
When I ask to speak to the manager, don't take it personally -- it has nothing to do with you. Calm. Down. No need for any attitude, especially in front of me. Great customer service? You can kindly kiss my ass. Also, when you're training a new employer, try to get back up since there's a line.
As for you Front Desk Manager -- when I'm asking you SIMPLE questions, is it too hard to look at me in the eyes? Eye contact, anyone? Isn't that like, the number one rule in customer service? Did you really have to stutter that often? Did you even give me the correct information? (Highly doubt that, especially since he wrote down my "contact information" on trash instead of paper.) I'm not trying to be hostile here, but I was very disappointed in the service here.
No thank you Eldorado, I was only here because my mom had some kind of Gold Member's card; I'll see you never again.

When we came in, there were only two tables occupied, and the hostess seated us next to the window, which was fine. Throughout my dining experience though, I didn't know if we had a waitress or a waiter -- the waitress came to our table twice to seat us and take our order, and then after that, a waiter came to give us our food and give us our togo boxes...
Anyway, the waitress/waiter never checked up on us to refill our waters, etc. I ordered the panang vegetarian curry, which was by far one of the best curry I've ever tasted, but when I asked for 4 togo boxes, the waiter first gave us two, then I asked for two more boxes, and he came by to give us one, so a few minutes later when he was in my sight (I swear they were hiding in the kitchen, it was so hard to get a hold of them!), I had to ask for another box.... I just thought the whole experience was a bit ridiculous...
Next time, I'll just order togo.
