All the different dishes I ordered I ate & loved them (some dishes were hot, I like to eat hot food) Next time I will try different side dishes. The staff is friendly, the place cozy & the bathroom is exactly like a 5-star hotel bathrooms I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting or living in Montreal who wants to try something different! It was the first time I had eaten Ethiopian food, the best Ethiopian food ever will return again Five out of five. Well done!

We love Ethiopian food & the food here did not disappoint. Great flavours & very nicely presented. The atmosphere was lovely, & the place was busy. The only disappointment was the service. Our first encounter was'are you ready to order?'. I found the waiter a bit abrupt given we've never been here before & he didnt know if we'd ever had Ethiopian before. Then by the end of our meal we had to wait forever & eventually another server to bring us our bill.. we felt completely forgotten. I will say that the host & the wait staff were exceptional & very attentive. I would go back, just hope i would pull a better server or the same server on a better day.View more

Que dire de cette 1e expérience...tout à fait WOW! Tout a déjà été dit au sujet de l'excellence des plats alors mon commentaire portera davantage sur le service. Notre sympathique serveur connaissait très bien son menu & il a su bien nous conseiller pour le choix du vin. Malgré la quantité de tables à servir, il s'est assuré que tout était à notre goût & je n'ai jamais eu à remplir mon verre de vin... son acolyte s'est chargé de remplir nos verres d'eau sans que nous ayons vu le fond de notre verre. Enfin, une expérience hôtelière de niveau professionnelle digne e se nom! Bravo & merci Kevin pour cette belle soirée. Le chauve ;)View more

Went there for the first time to try Ethiopian food. The decor & ambiance are nice, with good music. The food was very good, & we got the tasting menu for two. The food is great for spicy & spice lovers, with many options & generous portions. However, the desserts were quite average & didn't really relate to the cuisine. Overall, the experience was nice. It's a good spot if you want to explore Ethiopian food.View more
