Went there for the first time to try Ethiopian food. The decor & ambiance are nice, with good music. The food was very good, & we got the tasting menu for two. The food is great for spicy & spice lovers, with many options & generous portions. However, the desserts were quite average & didn't really relate to the cuisine. Overall, the experience was nice. It's a good spot if you want to explore Ethiopian food.

Food was very tasty (Doro Watt-Berbere Chicken) & service was friendly. First time trying Ethiopian cuisine & did not regret our choice. Ambiance was a very nice addition to the experience. Will definitely recommend!

Our family LOVED this restaurant! The atmosphere transports you to a chic, African realm & the food is out of this world. Staff were friendly & professional, not (outwardly) annoyed by our monolingualism. I'll be dreaming about the wonderfully flavorful cuisine for years to come!

WHAT AN AMAZING DINING EXPERIENCE. IT WAS RAINING & WE CHOSE TO SIT IN A DRY AREA OUTSIDE.THEY OFFERED TO MOVE US IF THE WEATHER WORSENED. LOVED THE APPETIZERS & SHARING PLATE WITH MEAT. WHAT A WONDERFUL BLEND OF FLAVORS. THE RAIN STARTED TO BLOW SIDEWAYS, & FOR DESSERT, THEY DID AS THEY PROMISED & MOVED US INSIDE. GREAT AMBIENCE & THE AROMAS WERE DELECTABLE. WHAT AN ENJOYABLE EVENING FOR US BEFORE THE THEATRE. RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE!

Excellent sur toute la ligne! Les 5 amies qui m'accompagnaient essayaient la cuisine éthiopienne pour la première fois. Elles ont été ravies! Cocktails essayés: Safari & Sahara, très bons. Nous avons opté pour les menus dégustation végane & viandes, cela donne un bon aperçu de la variété des mets éthiopiens. Un bon vin pinotage a accompagné le repas. Le thé épicé était juste parfait pour clore la soirée. Service impeccable, courtois. Merci à toute l'équipe & à la prochaine!
