I can't believe there are no reviews on here about Merkato!! We have tried many Ethiopian restaurants in Winnipeg. And nothing compared to Massawa. Of which they closed down a while ago. It was my husband and I, our favourite place to eat. Finally when we were about to give up searching for an Ethiopian restaurant we really enjoyed, we tried one last place. And we found Merkato! Location is not amazing. But food is unbeatable! Sam is old school! He values his customers. When my husband and I come here, Sam makes us feel part of the family! I'm a hard critic but I sure give credit where credit is due. I'm telling you, if you were a die hard Massawa fan you won't regret trying this gem! read more
