Review Summary

L'Afrique de l'Est earns high marks for authentic Ethiopian dishes, generous portions of injera, and a warm, family-run atmosphere. Reviews note flavorful meat and vegetarian platters, lively energy, and a BYOB option that encourages social meals with friends or family. Many diners describe the experience as homely and homemade, with dishes cooked to order and a sense of being welcomed as guests in a family kitchen. One critique mentions slow service and higher prices for smaller portions, along with cleanliness concerns. Overall, the reviews convey that the restaurant offers memorable flavors, generous portions, and a welcoming home-like vibe that draws diners back.

I attended a party where this restaurant catered the food. I don't remember the specific dishes we had, but it didn't even matter because every single bite was delicious! I had never had Ethiopian food before, but I will definitely be having it again. I'm so glad I got to try something new from an authentic, locally owned spot!

Unassuming spot that is one of the best in the neighbourhood, serving flavourful, authentic, fresh food that's made with love & worth the wait. Lamb, ground beef, whitefish & lentil dishes were all highlights, served on a large platter with plenty of warm injera. The owners are so kind. & it's BYOB
