I can not possibly recommend a restaurant more than I recommend the East Africa restaurant.
There was a void when Messop D'or closed (years ago) & this place filled it.
I have been a long time fan. The food, the couple running the place, the aromas, & the energy are all amazing!
Make sure you have a lot of time & some folks for good conversation & you will have an unforgettable experience.
I wish I had pictures but the moment that plate is placed in the middle of the table, someone has already torn the ingera & is digging in.
Just writing this review has made me want to return. I think I have some plans for the weekend 😉I will try to take some pictures. Yedoro Watt 🤤here I come…
I suggest a reservation
Food is always amazing. Family owned spot, local business. 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.
Incredible food from the nicest hosts. An amazing meal - highly recommend!
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.
