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!
We just had them cater for over 30 people - a hugeeee variety of dishes, & each & every one was fantastic!! Thank you so much for everything. Will definitely go to eat in with my wife really soon!
We went knowing that we would have to wait . we were prepared for it & brought cards & conversation. It was really nice to spend time in the space & with my family & I like that it's run by a family. The injera was very good! The best I have ever had by far! everything is made on the spot. Again the injera soaked up the food so good! I'm vegetarian, but my daughters are not I tried some of their bread that had soaked up the meat dishes & it was super delicious. Just good straight up vibes & quality food.
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
This Restaurant is wonderful & the owners are very kind. I give them 5 stars because the food is simply delicious & I have no issue with the service system. For Caucasians expecting chain restaurant service, this place isn't for you. The service is kind & functions at its own pace: its all worth it, trust me. If you get'hangry' like me, take a quick snack before getting to the place. Sometimes they run out of a kind of meat, especially late at night: Michelin star restaurants do the same. I recommend getting one more dish than the party size, for example: If you're 4 people sharing a platter, get 5 dishes & share them. All the options are delicious, have fun exploring. I've been here with groups of 4 & even 11 (Drop by early & let them know you'd like to host a group, they'll let you know if they can do it & when in the evening).
Excellente cuisine éthiopienne dans une atmosphère simple & détendue. Si vous avez très faim, **arrivez tôt** car les mets sont cuisinés par une seule dame & servis suivant l'ordre des commandes. Autrement dit, si quatre clients ont commandés avant vous, vous risquez fort d'attendre votre repas pendant plus d'une heure. (Apportez-vous de la bière...) Cela dit, je peux vous assurer que votre attente sera toujours récompensée par un repas exquis! Longue vie à ce petit'trou dans le mur', qui est l'un de mes restaurants préférés de Montréal. Je vous le recommande vivement! -- Excellent Ethiopian cuisine in a simple & relaxed atmosphere. If you are very hungry, **arrive early** because the dishes are cooked by only one lady, & served in the order of arrival. In other words, if four clients have ordered before you, you stand a very high chance to be fed more than one hour later. (Bring some beer...) However, rest assured that your wait will be rewarded by a superb meal! Long live this small'hole-in-the-wall'. It is one of my favourite restaurants in Montréal, & I will never recommend it too strongly.
