The vegan plate is always delicious, even more so if you ask for extra olive oil.

Amazing food and the people who own it are absolutely lovely! Truly some of my favourite food in town. I’m vegetarian and the veggie platter is incredible. I’ve also gone with meat eaters and they always rave about the beef and chicken.

I've been coming here for many, many years. Always a warm vibe, comfort food, great on a relaxed weekend, excellent service. A real gem.

I love this food and I love these women. Truly delicious, lovely, warm and authentic atmosphere (let yourself sit inside and let Amharic wash over you). I ate the vegetarian combo.

The combo plate is amazing, and best value on cook street imo. Also the owner is awesome.

It was the first time I tasted Ethiopian food and I was really disappointed ... it's bland and lacks flavor, I felt like I was eating canned spinach, potatoes ground in water, in short, only canned or vacuum-packed ingredients that have been reheated and have the same taste as at the school canteen...Nothing interesting for my taste buds unfortunately.If this is Ethiopian food, then I won't eat it again in my life.

Absolutely LOVE this place! ? The food is so tasty, and reasonably priced for the portions. I love the vegetarian combo plate or the beef combo plate. Hours can vary (I’ve gone and they have been closed randomly) so make sure you call ahead or have a back up plan. Definitely must try this hidden gem! ✨

I really wanted to like this food, Ethiopian is one of my favourites to get when we travel.Unfortunately it was very bland and tasteless overall. The potatoes tasted like water. It was very disappointing given how favourable and spicy most Ethiopian restaurants are. Unfortunately I can't recommend this as a good example of the delicious Ethiopian cuisine that's out there.

The best lunch I ever had, if you visit Victoria, this is the restaurant you don't want to miss!!!

So glad we finally gave this little spot a second chance. We had ordered from them in the past but it has arrived cold and not so good, it is def a meal you enjoy right away. The sweet lady serving us gave us the warmest smile and we were so pleased with our veggie combo plate. The spicy lentils are incredible and tho the injera lacks a bit of taste, the plate was still good. The seating was very cute and comfy, such a nice little spot. Next time, I will be ordering a second plate because the portion was a bit small but the price was fair. Can’t wait to go back and enjoy more !
