First Cup Ethiopian Resturant

FOOD/COFFEE: 5/5VIBES: 4/5SERVICE: 4/5VALUE: 5/5I don't think I'd order my exact entree again, but I really enjoyed myself here. The overall value is very impressive. The portion of the entree was huge, and, tbh, I enjoyed it even more as a leftover-for-breakfast. The samusa was great! I got the chicken one, which was a little dry, but still delicious - I ate the entire thing. The cappuccino was delicious and a great value. The overall vibe/aesthetic was cute for what it was: kind of a dressy hole-in-the-wall. I would definitely come back and try other entrees - probably ask for their rec this time around.

Amazing FOOD! My husband is Ethiopian and we have tried almost all the places in AZ and this is by far the BEST! The food always hits the same and the customer service is amazing they are the nicest! Also me not knowing the menu and when I go by myself - they are very helpful with explaining what the dishes are! The ambiance of the restaurant is very welcoming and it feels almost family oriented like when grandma wants to keep feeding you lol

Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. I would definitely come again, just not with my 5 year old who only likes hot dogs and potato chips. Poor thing doesn't know what he's missing.

The food at First Cup is delicious. I'll usually order their meat entrees such as quanta fir fir, awaze tibs, or derek tibs and am never disappointed with the quality of the meals. As an added bonus, this restaurant also sells injera in bulk if you're seeking to take some home for other meals you might make or eat with it.

Really delicious authentic food. I love Ethiopian food but hadn't had it in a really long time, so I was excited to come here today! My order was ready quickly, I got there in about 10 minutes and it was ready! I got a lentil sambusa and veggie plate. The lentil sambusa was really good. Very flavorful and a good mix of textures. The veggie plate was super flavorful too and a good variety of things to try on the plate. Huge portions, I have plenty left over. Would definitely recommend if you like Ethiopian!

First Cup is a small neighborhood type restaurant. The food here is amazing. The service was fast. We brought teenagers who have never had Ethiopian food and they loved it too. We will definitely come again.

Great food and service! Loved the coffee and lamb would definitely recommend trying this place out!

Top-quality Ethiopian food with plenty of vegetarian/vegan options.We each ordered a veggie combo ($15) to go for lunch and our order was ready shortly after we showed up. You get a nice array of different dishes (misir wot, gomen, shiro, green beans+carrots, cabbage), with a generous helping of injera to scoop it up. Everything was really nice flavoured, with the stand-outs being the misir wot and shiro -- in fact, the creamy shiro was among the best I've ever had. Really tasty stuff.The guy who took my order and who dealt with me for pick-up was super friendly. Really great spot overall for Ethiopian. Highly recommended.

Decent enough food. I ordered the vegetarian combo, and it was pretty good. However, none of the lentils were cooked enough. That's pretty much amateur hour, not ensuring the pulses are cooked to tender. Flavor-wise, it was pretty good but not the best Ethiopian food I've had. If you get this, it will be good enough but not great .

One of the best Ethiopian restaurants I have ever had. The service was great along with flavorful dishes and good quality too. The resultant was well decorated. I recommend starting with the sambusa and tying your favorite dishes from there. Overall a great experience and would definitely recommend to anyone who craves Ethiopian.
