The Union restaurant truly captures the authentic taste of Eritrean and Ethiopian cuisine. Each dish was rich in flavor, perfectly spiced, and served with soft, fresh injera. The presentation was beautiful, and the service was excellent—staff were kind, respectful, and attentive.

The food was so good. Just the right spice for the lamb tibs and the customer service and the staff were amazing. I highly recommend coming to this place.

I loved this place. I didn't really know what to expect, but ended up really enjoying my time there. I went for lunch during a work day and shared the meat combo with a friend, and it was delicious and timely. The vibe of the interior is amazing.

This place is a real authentic Eritrean, Ethiopian vibe. Top notch quality food at reasonable price for someone that needs fun and quality. The owner Eseyas is always on the top of everything. Full attention to his guests and servers are super fast.
