Absolutely recommend to anyone. If you're two people, I'd recommend 1 meat dish & 2 veggies. It comes with enough injera to be full. Cold in the winter, bring warm sweater just in case. Also BYOB. In the photo we ordered #4-#16-#18, but everything on the menu is delicious, no wrong picks.
One of my favorite BYOB places the vegetarian platter & the lamb platters are so delicious. Everything here is so good & the couple running the place have great energy. The downside is that it takes a long time to prepare the food. 45 minutes. Worth the wait!!!
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
Since the restaurant is run by only 2 people, the wait for our food was extremely long.. 2 hours! We were so hungry to the point that we & another table of four girls were debating on leaving or not. We felt bad so we stayed.. but as we were sitting there we noticed that the long wait could be due to the take-out orders, I assume the wife would try to cook the take-out order first & whatever people order she would cook from scratch.
Once we finally received our food, we (2 people) each made our own order so being super starved, we pictured it to be individual plates but it was one big plate with a small portion of meat that we each ordered with tiny sides of veggies.
Positive note, the man who served us is a very charming & funny waiter! but this is probably our first & last time going to the restaurant. The wait was almost unbearable.
So if you decide to try it.. either order it to-go or BYOB to the restaurant with good company to kill time ;)
