I've been driving across town to Maru for about 15 years to pick up spices and Injera. They always have everything I need and super friendly service!
My Eritrean partner ran out of some of his back home spices and tea, so I decided to stop by on a day I found myself in southwest Houston. It's located in a small shopping center with plenty of parking space available. It was my first time here so I didn't know what to expect, but was able to find all that we needed. I bought a bunch of QUALITY Berbere, Mitmita, Kibbeh and even Ethiopian loose leaf tea. The guy at the register was very welcoming, friendly and kind. I was on very limited time due to stopping by before work lol and definitely did not get to check out all they had. The store was smaller than I expected but it was jam packed with so many items and options. I know there was plenty of more spices, teas and I didn't know at the time but the cashier also mentioned they sold injera. I cannot wait to go back for some injera as my partner and I usually have to order some through takeout at Blue Nile Restaurant. My partner was/is very delighted, satisfied and we made Tibs, Gomen, Silsi, and Ades soon as I brought home all I purchased that day. He's already making a list of what all else I need to get when I'm there again. Lol I'm looking forward to actually planning my next visit, so I have more time to explore the store.

This is a must stop if you cook Ethiopian. Don't go to Penzys for your Berbere... this place has it fresh and cheap... homemade Injera ready to buy and all kinds of spices/herbs for Ethiopian cooking. The owner is very nice and will answer any questions...
My mom goes here to buy the Ingera for when she makes Ethiopian food, so this place is an Ethiopian and regular grocery store.
