J'adore ce resto! La dégustation végé est goûteuse & en format plus que satisfaisant. Le prix est très correct étant donné la qualité. Je recommande & si vous n'avez jamais mangé de nourriture éthiopienne, ici, c'est un exemple excellent, on ne se trompe pas! & maintenant, ils ont en plus une terrasse. J'avoue que le decor ne rend pas justice à ce merveilleux pays plein de beautés, mais bon... Longue vie!

I was craving some good ethiopian food & today, my craving was satisfied & gone. The vibe & atmosphere in here is amazing, & i will be coming again! amazing music & tasting menu
J'ai commandé un menu dégustation végane avec mon copain, mais ce n'est pas ce que nous avons reçu. Lorsqu'on nous a apporté l'entrée, le serveur nous a très peu expliqué les plats, ce qui a fait en sorte que nous n'avons pas constaté que nous avions reçu le plateau omnivore. À la fin, lorsque nous avons posé une question sur un ingrédient, le serveur a répondu qu'il s'agissait de fromage de chèvre puis est parti immédiatement, sans nous laisser le temps de lui expliquer qu'il y avait une erreur sur notre commande. Au 2e service, on nous a apportés des plats avec viande, & ce n'est que là que nous avons pu expliquer le malentendu. Aucun geste commercial ne nous a été offert pour compenser. Le reste du service était plutôt ordinaire, presque robotique. Dommage car la cuisine est excellente.
I love this place!! I've been a couple times & just went again this weekend & brought a friend who had never tired Ethiopian food. This is where I tried it the first time so I knew it would be a good experience. The deal they do for 2 people is such a steal & a great way to try lots of different things. Fun vibe inside & our waiter recommend a great drink to pair.
First time trying Ethiopian cuisine. The place is very clean. Food was excellent! Great blend of flavors with some kick. The staff are super friendly & accommodating, & the overall vibe was awesome. Really good experience.
