The atmosphere is warm, elegant, and inviting, with attentive, friendly service that makes guests feel welcome.

Details matter soo much when it comes to customer service. I love this restaurant & will definatly come back but i feel they need this feedback. When greeting clients, please smile & ask right away ‘do you have reservations, if so under what name'?. I was greeted as Hi. & that it. I had to do the whole talking. If a client takes the time to book a table online, then please coordinate with your schedule & be prepared for when they show up. We ordered a vegetarian plate to share & got the meat plate. When we adressed it to the waitresses, they each said ‘im not the one who's serving your table (Table 43) but we can change it for you. When she brought the right plate, she said it again ‘i wasnt the one who served you but here is the vegan plate' instead of a simple & short ‘im sorry for the mix up :) ‘ . Then we asked for another wine glass, it took litteraly 15 minutes before she brought it & that only because we reminded her. Its ok, i guess it was a busy night for them but details matter ... at the end the waitress made us pay & didnt even appoligize for the mix up, just here is the machine & pay up ... this restaurant has great potential & the food tastes amazing. I hope this review will be used positively & constructively. customers do recommend restaurants 80% of the time because of the amazing service they got because there are plenty of restaurants in Montreal ...

I went here last night for my Birthday. We ordered the tasting menu & it was amazing. We paired it with several drinks & it made for a wonderful night. They brought me a small dessert with a sparkler & sang for me. It was very nice & we will be returning again. I highly recommend this restaurant

this place is absolutely wonderful. From the live music played in the corner on a white grand piano to the ambiance, the server, the moist hand towel smelling of soft spices to the great tasting Ethiopian food & not to mention the Ethiopian coffee...I cant not seem to say enough..I will definitely go back there & will recommend it to any one who wants to listen to me. An absolutely must go to place in Montreal.

Excellent. Bonne bouffe bon service beau décor. Changerais la musique pour celle de l'afrique. Le choix n'allait pas avec le reste de l'expérience. Je recommande le menu dégustation.
