We ordered the combo platter of vegetables and meat choices, so we can really try all the different varieties available. I liked that their wraps were not as sour as the ones I've had in the past. Great service and unique atmosphere.

This was my first time trying Ethiopian food. I enjoyed my experience overall, but I think it…read moreprobably isn't to my personal taste. I shared the Vegetarian Bayaaynatu with a friend. It came with small servings of all the vegetarian dishes - I won't name them all since there were a lot! Of course, the dish was served with their injera (bread). I liked that the dish was made to be shared and I enjoyed the process of eating and breaking off the spongy injera to use it to scoop my food. Eating with my hands was a bit messy but fun! And the bread was fluffy and soft. Unfortunately, I wasn't very fond of the actual dishes. The texture was too mushy for my taste. Perhaps it was my palette that day but I also found it difficult to differentiate between the dishes because they seemed very similar in taste and texture. Maybe Ethiopian food is for you but I think for me it might be a pass!

This was another Ethiopian restaurant that I went to in Toronto…read more I love Ethiopian food, so I definitely wanted to get some on my vacation. I got the Doro Watt, which is like a savory chicken stew on the Enjera bread. A lot of Ethiopian cooking is hardy sauces, and stews to be eaten with the bread . This one even came with a hard boiled egg . The service is always nice at Ethiopian restaurants. They're not typically packed, but they are a niche style of dining, so when they have customers the weight staff are typically extremely friendly and it feels like you're eating at somebody's home.

We sat in the front where there is like a tent and you could see outside interestingly enough after the front area you have the bar area and then the back area. Most of the people decided to sit at the back area, (more condensed tables) which I feel less cosy. There was a tent area in the very back, set up for a large group.In any case, it's great that they serve a variety of alcoholic drinks and has lounge atmosphere in the front area. They play instrumental music without lyrics that is very relaxing. Ordered the SELAM special for two it included three veggies and the chicken and beef tins which were not a lot of meat to be honest so we added a side of kitfo which was actually a good portion of meat. If I had the SELAM special for two without adding the extra, I would've been very disappointed as the meat amount is very little. The cost was $40 for the platter and $12 extra for the kitfo.

It would have been perfect if only the service was up there to match the food. The servers were…read morepolite and a pleasure to speak with, but all the long wait times were just unacceptable. It was good that we were sitting in a spot closest to the bar, at least it sort of made it easy to spot us whenever we call for service. I can only imagine how hard it could be for those sitting way out at the back. We had to call for attention several times to follow up on our requests for a glass of water and our dessert. For our order of cheesecake, we followed up at least 2 times (maybe more) but later ended up with a server coming back to mention that it was no longer available. I would have also appreciated it if they were a lot more transparent with everything. They should have mentioned if requests for injera costs more and by how much. The final bill amount was just a total they gave you shown in the machine. It would have been only proper to give a breakdown of all items listed to just double check if calculations were correctly done. The saving grace was that the food served was such a treat. I got the Ethiopian dining experience I came for. I especially loved the chewiness of the lamb that came with the Selam platter, and the people I dined with have good comments about the mushrooms, which were a part of the veggie options of the platter.

This place has a quaint vibe to it and the menu is fairly straightforward. I came with my wife and we were seated right when we walked in. We know portion sizes can be fairly large when Ethiopian food and we didn't want leftovers so opted for their veggie combo for 1. It was actually a good size for us to share and not feel too full. The combo comes with 6 items plus the mixed green salad. The items were all well cooked, I enjoyed the lentils but was 50/50 on things I really enjoyed vs though were okay but that was more of a personal food preference vs the item was good/bad. Overall, I'm glad we stopped in.

I was walking by and noticed they had a veggie platter for $10. I hadn't thought of dinner yet, so…read moreI ordered it to go of course! It's covid right now. There were greens! Plus lots of lentils, their shiro wat was quite spicy but very flavourful. It was 4pm and they had just opened and everything was already made. It definitely hit the spot. I didn't give it 4 stars only because I found the cabbage didn't sit well with me. Now I know cabbage has a reputation but normally I don't find it bothers me I'll try it again to see.

I saved every last bit and licked the plate clean when I finished the leftovers. It was absolutely worth it and absolutely delicious. Perhaps it is altered for foreigners' tastes, but it worked on us. We will be going back here and it has also opened us up to explore more Ethiopian cuisine. Important to eat with your hands and use the injera bread to scoop up the flavourful dishes. We ate this during the pandemic so it was take-out. The pick up experience was pleasant. The lady running the place was very nice and we would love to dine in when restrictions are lifted as the restaurant itself looks nice, clean, and inviting.

I was caught by the player feature near the sidewalk for a $5.50 veggie platter, one if my favorite Ethiopian dishes.

The place appeared to still be under some construction or in the midst of moving, so maybe things have been more settled by now. The place itself looks more like a nightclub or bar rather than a restaurant, but sure enough, they do have food, too. Service was a little slow, as there was only one server/bartender, but she was extremely friendly and sweet. We got a vegetarian platter, and the food itself was extremely good. Hopefully, they're more settled in by now.
