Both of ours was slightly spicy but overall just delicious. Even my husband dug into my serving as he admitted the veg food tasted that good! It's definitely some of the best Ethiopian food I've had in the UK. The waiter was very amenable as well and provided loads of injera for the meals. Great Amharic background music as well.

Finally, I persuaded a few girlfriends to come and check it out with me, as part of my occasional 'foods of the world' evenings where we try something a little out of the mainstream. On an early Thursday evening, the place is quieter compared to how busy it always seems on Friday and Saturday nights. But it is early and the other customers seem to be regulars who new exactly what to order. We were perplexed and needed quite a bit of help from our waitress but with main courses starting around £6.50, it's worth taking a little risk. All the girls ordered fairly safe dishes with rice and their plates were almost empty. I had a more filling beef dish that came wrapped in a blanket of a pancake like rice bread and I barely got through half of it as these are big portions. The highlight for me was being offered the coffee ceremony (a big coffee fan). Amazingly only 2 out of the 6 of us drink coffee so more for us. The fabulously patient waiter bought us out the roasting hot coffee beans, I presume to smell and then went away and made coffee for us. This arrived with espresso sized cups on a specially made tray that held the pot on a side shelf. It tasted divine and we didn't even get charged the normal £10 for the coffee ceremony. Great service and worth going back just for the coffee!

Alex opened this after successfully running the restaurant at The Fox at Shipley for some time. His fans & customers seem to have followed and grown. I drive past often and noticed a sign for 2 course meals for £9.99 last week. A friend went last week and said how wonderful the food was. UPDATE June 2012 local paper reports that this place has now closed.

The food was excellently teased with flavour rather than drowned; the portions were sufficient, well presented and supported with very good house wine. Alex and his staff were very personable whilst remaining professional and attentive. On our route back we made it a date to have an evening meal too; again the food was excellent and service as before. Noting other comments about the time taken to order and be served; we found the experience relaxing without the in and out rush you may get in other restaurants. Well done; open a place in Lincoln and we'll be there.
