Tasty combination platters. Reasonably priced.

Excellent Ethiopian food. Single person operation who was informative, friendly and fast. Generous portions of the various dishes, injeer bread at incredibly good prices.Amongst other items, tried 3 beef dishes. All were excellent, each with their own unique flavours. Would go back repeatedly event if the only thing they offered was the Zilzil Tibs.Kid-friendliness: Easy to find dishes that were not spiced to hot for children.

First time having Ethiopian and it was DELICIOUS! Everything was made to order and was incredible. Took a while for our order but we ordered a lot, and didn’t mind waiting because it meant it was being cooked fresh! The staff was wonderful, helpful, and very genuine - thank you!

Delicious food! Had to call about a dietary restriction and the service was friendly and funny :)Ordered food online and it came packaged perfectly within the container with extra bread, and all the curries within stayed warm. We ordered the vegetarian platters and they were well balanced and left us feeling full with leftovers :) would absolutely order from here again!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian option was filling and nut free :)Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian option was filling and nut free :)

Food and service is good but it's not a nice place to visit or eat inside. The floors were really dirty and questionable things lying around.Vegetarian options: Large variety of vegetarian options. Entire vegetarian platters.Dietary restrictions: Great for gluten free diets. The main bread meals are served with is gluten free.

Absolutely delicious food and for an amazing price! My favourite was the vegetarian platter where you got to try every vegetarian dish on the menu!!! Unfortunately I can only give a 4/5 rating because the service was very slow… and there was a lot of fruit flies in the restaurant and in the washroom :sVegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options and they all taste amazing!Parking: Lots of street parking available in the area, depending on the time of day it is also free street parking

The food is alright but the service can be worked on. Ordered a meat dish and it arrived with a few pieces of meat, and 95% just stew. Injera was good. Service was a bit rude and not friendly. Didn't feel too welcome.

Incredibly small portions. I got the vegetarian combo and the chicken dish. About 2 tablespoons of each item in the vegetarian combo - highly inadequate. Also, 3 kinds of lentils, and 2 of them were hard. The chicken stew had one tiny leg and one egg. Way too much injera bread in both. It was relatively inexpensive, but poor value. The flavor of the vegetarian items was not too good.

From the places I've tried over the last few years living in Southern Ontario, I gotta say this is the best spot for me. Lots of flavor, doesn't skimp on spices, good prices, and large portions so you can share with friends! Highly recommended!!!
