I've been wanting to try Ethiopian food for many years but never knew where to go until one day, a…read morecoworker suggested this restaurant. We arrived at around 2pm so it was more of a late lunch and the restaurant was quiet save for a party of four. We were tossed up between the Lalibela Platter and the Family Platter but opted for the Family Platter since it offered more meat options. I was also pulled between the Special Hot Tea and the Ginger tea... this time I opted for both. The Ginger tea has a nice Ginger bite to it but the Special Hot Tea is really quite special. I would probably just order that one next time. Both were really good though. Everything available on the platter was delicious and I'm glad that we were able to try such a variety of items. Although I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, one thing I did learn, I'm not very good at eating with my hands. The cuisine seems to have a mild to moderate heat, nothing too extreme, at least in this platter. Oddly enough though, it did leaving me wanting something sweet. The desserts on offer were carrot cake, ice cream and baklava. I just wanted something small and sweet that I could share so opted for the baklava. In fairness, when I asked how big it was (trying to decide if I needed to order one or two) she did say it was like a slice of cake but I guess I still didn't expect to be... like a slice of cake! I have never seen such a large piece of baklava before. It was fabulous! Our server was quick, attentive and friendly. I would definitely recommend this restaurant is you're in the area.

Tonight, I was welcomed by the owners, who said hi and recognized me as a regular. After my meal tonight I tapped to pay with my credit card. I got a popup on my phone saying the charge went through, but on the terminal it appeared that the charge didn't go through. I logged into my account, and saw the charge, and showed the owner. The owner insisted that I pay again. Before doing that, I told her I would call the credit card company to determine the status of the charge. After finally getting through, the company confirmed that the charge went through, and suggested that the merchant should call them for confirmation. I went back and relayed the information, but she refused to call the company, and insisted I pay again. I left the restaurant and went to the car, where I was followed by her and called a thief. It's unfortunate there were issues with their payment terminal, but for them to refuse to resolve the situation as recommended by the credit card company and insist that I pay again, then call me a thief, was an inappropriate way to handle the situation. I had already done everything I could. I won't be going back after this experience, but once they see the charge credited to their account I would like to think I'll get an apology.

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.

Wow! I'm definitely coming back here…read more I love Ethiopian food so once I saw an Ethiopian restaurant near me I knew I had to try it. The Vegetarian Bayaaynatu is a must get! I like lentils as much as the average person but oh god I didn't know it was possible to put this much flavor in lentils! It tastes so good especially with the injera bread. I just know that I'll be ordering the vegetarian bayaaynatu every single time I come here. This dish cemented this place as a staple for me! As for the meat Bayaaynatu, it comes with a serving of the Goreng Goreng and the Tibs. It says the Goreng Goreng is best served rare but I know myself and wouldn't be able to eat rare meat and ordered it medium and I really liked it! I'd definitely get it again, it tasted so flavorful and the meat was tender and cooked just right. As for the Tibs, it came out pinker than I'd like. It tasted ok, but it was definitely overshadowed by everything else on the plate and we didn't end up finishing it. I tried it out and it tasted fine but the pink color just freaked me out to be honest! All the table have no cutlery so you have to eat everything with your hands, which I personally love! I love the place's decorations and aesthetic, but it can get a bit stuffy. We came on a hot summer day and they have no AC so it was pretty stuff and sweaty in there, but any complaint was gone once the food came out :p The server is just one guy, but food still came out quickly. I'm very satisfied with my whole experience here and I'm definitely coming again and will have to try every dish on the menu!

I've had several Ethiopian restaurants in the past and have always loved the heavy spices used in the cuisine. This is one of the few foods where I prefer the vegetarian dishes to the meats, with the platter featuring a mix of lentils (my favourite), chick peas, cabbage and carrot stew, beets, carrots/string beans, and collard greens (unfortunately tough and hard). The meat platter contained doro wat (spicy chicken stew), a lamb dish, and a beef stew. Each were spicy and bursting with flavour. The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender, but the ground beef was quite dry and probably my least favourite dish. Everything is eaten with your hands by using the injera (Ethiopian sour dough) to scoop up the food. Would love to come back and dine-in.

However My knowlege of Ethiopean food is very shallow, I only know some names such as "Tibs"( meat fried with butter, garlic , onion & pepper), "Injera"(fermented flat bread) "Doro Wat" "Awaze"(sauce), etc. Their menu description in English was very confusing. Almost all the meat dishes had different names but they were mostly sauteed with butter, garlic, onion & pepper. Wait staff was trying to explain that there are various options of meat such as spicy, non spicy, ground meat version, etc. but I was not even sure, I was served with what I actually chose. For example, if you look at #60 &#61, only difference I see is one is served on sizzling plate. However their names are completely different. 60.
