Bon service
Un peu d'attente avant d'être servie.
Un peu trop épicée à mon goût.
Très beau cadre.
J'ai apprécié & je recommande volontier.

We had eaten here a few years ago &, with two nights in Montreal, wanted to return. We had a late evening reservation & shared the vegan tasting platter for two - four appetizers & five entree items. It was delicious & we were glad we had returned. Strongly recommended!

Had the tasting menu, if you are new to Ethiopian cuisine, would suggest to take this. The portions are enough. Some of the items could have been better. Overall a good place to visit. It gets quite full, reservation is recommended.
