Zagol Ethiopian Restaurant

First time trying Ethiopian food. It was delicious! I tried 3 different entrees with chicken and beef. I like spicy food so I opted for the spicier entrees which did have a nice level of spiciness to them. I definitely recommend eating here.

Kicking myself for not checking out this place sooner. It's now listed with my favorite restaurants in Reno. The food is delicious, and just the right portion. I look forward to trying everything on the menu. I'd also like to some day check out the coffee ceremony. The honey wine is amazing: I don't like many sweet wines but this was fantastic (it's not overly sweet). The service was exceptionally friendly and sweet. I look forward to getting to know them better.nnPS These collards are better than most I've had in the South, and I thought nobody could do collards better than the South.nnPSS My fiancé isn't a huge fan of lamb, but she tried this and said she'll definitely start eating it more if it tastes this good.

Husband and I first tried Ethiopian when Zygol was located downtown. I was very excited for the experience. He was not impressed but I enjoyed it. Tasty food but the glasses were dirty. Which I thought was weird since we were the only patrons in the restaurant at the time. So I asked for a new glass of water and she came back with another dirty glass..fine I just pushed it aside. Tried her restaurant at the new location here in 2020 when I know they're struggling and same story years later. Dirty. Glasses. By dirty I mean visibly unclean, scuffs on the outside and small black things in and on the glass..so I dunno what's up with all the dirty beverage glasses but nevertheless the owner's food is good and I try to support. Last visit I made reservations for a large group of 6 or more friends from out of town to try as well but many had unfortunately canceled last minute and when I told the owner she was noticeably upset. I decided to order because I felt bad and actually did like her food but she huffed and puffed saying she didn't have the beef wat which was arguably one of the best menu items. Menu is still confusing to understand and could be redone for simplicity sake. I ended up being glad my friends who cancelled didn't go. Disappointed in overall service over the years -2 for service, price and portion size but if you can get past that her food is actually good.

Amazing Black owned eatery! We got take-out and ordered the Veggie Gebeta (Kilkil, Mesir Wat and Tikil Gomen). We also got the Kik Alicha which was my favorite and Bozena Shiro beef dish. They gave us plenty of injera bread. Their spiced tea is also super good!

This locally owned restaurant is amazing! The owner is the only employee, which is inspiring. Great food, great service, and great prices!
