    We wanted to try a local Ethiopian restaurant and saw the great reviews. It was a Friday night and pretty quiet but when the food came out you can see right away that it was going to be great. Felt like it was truly a home made dish and we went with the waitresses suggestion to make all our meals as a family style dinner. Every item was great, lentils, chicken, beef, lamb... Loved it all. We even had a 2 year old with us and loved it too. When we were wrapping up the left overs the chef even provided us with additional veggie dishes. Pretty sure whenever I have a guest come over this will be top of the list. Great food and amazing service!

    Dined here last night and was skeptical because I’ve never had Ethiopian food, and since we didn’t know what to order, the waitress just decided for us. I’m so glad she did though, because this was such amazing food - some of the most flavourful, well-spiced, unique items reached our table and I couldn’t have been more glad to have explored a new cuisine like this! We had the injera with zil zil, tibsi, and chacha- which we had to order 2 plates of because it was so good. The waitress was very kind and attentive, and the chef even came out to talk to us. Good people here, and even better food. Definitely come by if you’re near Bloor or just in the mood to try some African / Ethiopian eats.
