We visited the restaurant to celebrate our anniversary & I have to say the staff made the night memorable! We were given the best table in the house by the window facing Rue St. Denis & from the moment we walked in were made to feel special. Each server made sure to acknowledge our anniversary, & our main server even made us complimentary drinks which we superb to celebrate the occasion. The food - spectacular! We had the tasting menu which I'd highly recommend - it was wonderful blend of spices. We will definitely be returning in the future.

Excellente nourriture. Originale. Saveurs succulentes. Possibilités de goûter à plusieurs plats avec le menu dégustation. Pas cher pour ce que c'est.
Beau décor. Toilettes à voir tant c'est joli. Je recommande sans hésiter ce restaurant.
Seuls inconvénients: c'est bruyant quand le restaurant se remplit & les tables sont trop collées les unes sur les autres.

After reading the reviews, I was expecting to have a pleasant experience, but it far surpassed my expectations. Absolutely beautiful restaurant, great service, amazing food. Absolutely recommend whether you are two people or a large group. I loved everything - the beer, the appetizer (mango salad), the main course, the honey wine, - but the cake blew me away. There are many great restaurants in Montreal, but I think this was my best experience ever. Not cheap, but amazing value for the money.

Nourriture excellente, beau décor & bonne ambiance. Nous avons commandé le menu dégustation & je vous le recommande vivement. Tel que conseillé par le serveur, nous avons mangé sans ustensile à l'aide de leur genre de pain plat. Ce fût une agréable expérience ainsi qu'une merveilleuse découverte de la nourriture éthiopienne.

J'ai adoré ce resto!
Mon copain m'y a emmenée & j'ai capoté! Nous avons pris le menu dégustation pour deux (59.99$) qui nous permettait de goûter plusieurs entrées & plats principaux. C'est un type de cuisine que l'on ne mange pas souvent & j'ai vraiment aimé découvrir de nouvelles saveurs.
Notre serveuse était très attentionnée & savait nous recommander des plats qui nous plairaient.
Je vous le recommande fortement!

J'ai beaucoup aimé ce restaurant! J'adore la nourriture éthiopienne & pour ceux qui n'ont jamais essayé je vous le conseil. J'aime la façon que les plat sont servis. C'est un restaurant ou l'on mange tous dans le même plat à l'aide du pain traditionnelle éthiopien comme ustensile.
Je conseil beaucoup les choix végétarien, c'étais excellent! Je raffole moins de la manière que les viandes sont apprêter, mais ce n'ai qu'une question de goût! Par contre, le tartare semi cuit était excellent !
J'ai eu une bonne expérience: belle ambiance différente & bonne nourriture.
Je vous recommande fortement d'essayer ce restaurant.
