It’s all really lovely food. The salad dressing is out of this world - it’s a secret, so don’t ask what’s in it. All the flavors are balanced.

Great lunch spot in Frandor area.(love eating here after hot yoga next door) Injera bread! Everything on the menu I have tried. It's healthy and delicious. So happy to have Altu's in our area ??
Our restaurant is named after its owner, founder, and master of flavor, Altu Tadesse. (Pronounce her name ALL-too tuh-DESS-uh.)
Altu learned to love food and flavor when living in Ethiopia, in her childhood. Foods commonly considered unremarkable (lima beans and cabbage are among them) become delectable with her loving preparation.
Altu instinctively approaches food as a composer creates a musical piece. Her experience paired with her five senses result in enticing layers of flavor. To learn more about her food, read “What is Ethiopian Food Like?”
Altu lived in Ethiopia until after she graduated from University. Long a US citizen, she makes Greater Lansing a more friendly and flavorful place, thanks to her restaurant.
