Charming, unassuming, and unexpected! I sought this place out based on good reviews on multiple…read morewebsites, and it didn't disappoint! Food/drink: I love that we were served some little nibbles (peanut snack mix) to start. We started with the local wine as an aperitif; it's sweet and slightly fermented. And we ordered our 2 favorite Ethiopian dishes. 1) The qey wat, a spicy beef in sauce, large portion, was nicely spiced with a little heat; it even came with some cheese for a slightly tangy flavor. 2) The vegetarian platter, which had 7 different dishes including 3 different lentils, cabbage, sweet beets, spinach, and salad. The injera was thinner/spongier than what I'm used to, and we had to ask for more twice, but we definitely were nicely stuffed by the end. Service: It's a mom and pop shop, which gives it charm. We were attended to as needed and, given the small size, had no problem finding the host/server when we needed him. Ambiance: This was the fun part! The restaurant was unassuming and almost hidden on a mostly residential street. Inside is the size of a (large) living room; one side had communal style seating with traditional Ethiopian table settings, where most guests sat. Add in the Ethiopian music videos in the background and it felt like an experience! A charming "hole in the wall" spot. Tip: it's small, seats ~6 parties, and pretty close quarters (that includes the bathroom, which is right next to wear people eat, so plan accordingly.)

The doro wat (chicken with egg) was flavorful as well, and not at all dry. I liked how they refilled our plates of injera and always made sure it was warm. Needless to stay, I stuffed myself with this tangy deliciousness. Great service, great food, reasonable prices (20 euro per person including tea). I will be back! *If you prefer your dishes spicier, ask them to add some more spice since they tend to tone it down for French people.

So they substituted something else. The injira bread was light and thin, perfect. Delicious and filling. If you are interested in coffee, try their Cafe Gourmond which includes three little desserts with the coffee for only a euro more than one dessert. Vegan and vegetarian both. Warning.
