Follow your nose! Even the napkins are scented with warm spice.
Service was prompt, efficient & bilingual. The atmosphere is cosy & appropriate for a broad range of groups: couples, families & groups of friends.
Food wasn't just Ethiopian, it seemed that there were other African counties represented. We had a nice South African Pinot Noir with the sampling platter for two. The vegan appetizer star was the chick pea lemon - hummus-like spread. & my favourite meat main was the chicken. My husband also liked the lamb & beef.
Communal style plate for the tasting menus for two with little teff crepes to capture the food up & eat it.

Overall a nice night out. Food was great. & service was good for the most part. The only issue was at the end with the bill. The total bill for 3 was $101, but split 3 ways was somehow $36 each without tip? So either our waitress had a dyslexic moment (happens to all of us) or she tried to trick us into tipping her (?). But the second waitress cleared things up quickly so everything was fine in the end.

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.
