I would highly recommend it since it was delicious and referred by a local.

Delicious! Excellent Ethiopian cuisine right next to the main square in Plainpalais. We even had…read morethe opportunity to try something new- with Ethiopian 'samosas' and honey wine. All so good! The food was excellent and the restaurant itself was beautiful, with great decorations from the country. Unfortunately, the restaurant was severely understaffed. We were smart to make a reservation at 7, and we were treated to excellent service, being the only customers at that time. Our drinks and food came quite quickly. However, as soon as 7 more tables were filled the one employee was completely overwhelmed and we didn't see him again. After 40min of waiting with empty plates we had to leave money on the table and left, even though we were supposed to get dessert with our meal. Great food, but definitely not a quick bite!

Meh. While the…read moreservice was welcoming, it was also very slow. As for our food order - maybe I've been spoiled by Ethiopian food in DC and NY, but the lack of flavor and spice in the dishes was a huge disappointment. Also, for my meat-eating friends, the stew wasn't cut in ways that made sense when you eat with your fingers - I remember that it's usually served either as full chicken drumsticks or smaller bites. Not in between. The server asked us what we thought at the end of the meal and when we complained (a little), he said they adjusted the seasoning of the dishes to French taste and that the French are wary of spices. I hear this a lot. I think it's really too bad because you lose authenticity, taste, and maybe a chance to educate the French palate. - - - Bof. Le service etait accueillant mais aussi tres lent. Quant a la cuisine- peut-etre que j'ai ete gatee par les restaurants ethiopiens a Washington DC et a New York, mais le manque de saveurs et d'epices dans les plats m'a vraiment decue. Ah et aussi, pour ceux qui mangeaient de la viande, les morceaux de viande dans le ragout n'etaient pas coupes de facon logique pour un repas qu'on mange avec les doigts - je sais que c'est generalement sevi avec la cuisse de poulet entiere avec l'os ou des plus petits morceaux. Pas l'entre-deux, comme c'etait le cas ici. Le serveur nous a demande a la fin du repas ce qu'on en avait pense et on s'est (un peu) plaints. Il nous a repondu qu'ils ajustaient les epices en fonction des gouts francais et que les Francais ont peur de tout ce qui est epice. C'est quelque chose qu'on me repete souvent. Je trouve ca vraiment dommage, parce qu'on perd l'authenticite, le gout, et peut-etre une occasion d'eduquer le palais francais.
