The vegetarian platter is absolutely delicious! The picture is a vegetarian platter for 3 people for lunch - which only cost $33 (taxes included). The service was friendly, the food was delicious, very fairly priced, varied, and beautifully presented. Highly recommend!

This is the best restaurant in Guelph.My husband and I order the vegetarian platter and yeawaze tibs and we are always so happy while we eat. It’s reliably fresh and flavourful and this combo gives a perfect variety of options.Again.Best. Restaurant. In. Guelph.

Ordered through Uber eats and we are instant fans. The portion size is amazing and the flavor just hits you. We really loved the Yeawaze Tibs. Can't wait to visit in person!

Excellent Ethiopian in Guelph!I've been to many Ethiopian places and this is the best I've ever had. It's certainly the best in the KW/Guelph region.There are a few downsides. The service is not prompt. They might forget to bring you the drink you ask for, or not understand you when you ask for details about the food. Their phone was broken for a couple of months and their web site seems to go up and down.But it is a family-run place, and they are lovely people, and the food is exceptional. Go and enjoy, and tell others, so that we can make this gem successful!

I rarely review but this place deserves it after going many times. One of the best and cost effective places in Guelph. It’s unbelievably cheap for the volume and quality of food. Everything is great. It makes me laugh every time I order with there straight to business attitude on the phone. A true 5 stars!Vegetarian options: Many of the dishes are vegan or vegetarian

Was REALLY looking forward to trying this place as I love Ethiopian food - came here 2:17pm on Monday and it was CLOSED even though it says open on google. I tried calling and it only went to voicemail each time. Sad.

Very tasty food served quickly. The tables are a little worn down but there's a lot of charm as well. You get a lot of food for the price! We were full and had a lot of left overs for dinners.

A small quaint place. Not much in decor but the food is very interesting! Gotta try something new from time to time! Service was slow to begin and the owners son was drunk when we arrived.

Had a really pleasant experience here. Feels like a small family(ish) run place. The menu is a little intimidating but there are plenty of pre-built "combos" that let you try a bit of lots of things. We were skeptical that "for 2" was actually enough food for 2, but the portion was big enough that in the end we didn't even finish it all. Everything was good but the veg dishes were the standouts (particularly the collard greens). Don't sleep on the Veggie combo.Service was friendly but pretty hands-off. The space is no-frills but tidy with plenty of seating. I felt comfortable while eating. Definitely worth a trip if you're looking for something different but low-pressure. Would recommend!

Wow! Excellent food. Outstanding value for money. We had the Warka special for two and could not finish everything. Friendly staff. It is not a fancy-schmancy place but it has its own charm and character.Vegetarian options: Many Options

For a couple of restaurant avoiding vegans, this was a wonderful experience. Friendly people and good healthy food. Can't ask for anything more.
