This was our first experience with Ethiopian food & we really enjoyed it. The ambiance / decor was nice & we were able to take the Sampler platter which allowed us to try a variety of different dishes at a very reasonable price.

The staff was very welcoming & made us really comfortable from the minute we went through the entrance door. The food, which we comfortably ate using our bare hands - was so delicious & out of this world - we had chicken sambusa for starters &, for the main dishes, yeassa tibbs & zizil tibbs. The time between ordering our food & getting it served was reasonably short. This was my second time eating at this place &, for the second time running, I really had a blast. Probably the best African restaurant there is in Montreal!

We arrived ravenously hungry in anticipation of a great meal, & we feasted on a variety of delicious vegan dishes. This was our second visit, & we'll be back! The service was prompt & attentive.

Wonderful service! Our daughter has Cealiac disease & they were wonderful in making sure her dishes were gluten free & without cross contamination. One of our favorite restaurants in Montreal.

First time eating here. We did the 8pm seating. Staff was very attentive & answered all our questions. Never felt rushed , thankful that our servers spoke to us in English as we know very little French.
Food was timed perfectly & all vegetarian & meat dishes were fulll of fantastic flavor. Our New favorite restaurant in Montreal!

We took the tasting menu consisting of the following appetizers:
1-Kitfo : Filet mignon tartare with Ethiopian spices (Good)
2-Bouticha : Chick peas pureed with garlic & lemon + below it : Eggplant marinated & pureed (Good)
3-Yetimatim : Tomato salad with green chillies & Ginger (Average)
4-Veggies caramelized with Ethiopian spices (Good)

Then the main dish :
1-Bedergan : Zucchini in our special alicha sauce (Average)
2-Zilzil Tibbs : Filet mignon strips sauteed with ginger (Great)
3-Yatakelt watt : cabbage, potatoes & carrots sautéed (Average)
4-Yebeg Key Watt: Moist Lamb cooked in berbere sauce (Ok)
5-Gommen : Spinach with onion & garlic (Bad)
6-Doro Watt : Chicken with berbéré sauce (Ok)

For the price of 60$ for 2 persons on what was presented it is too pricey & the food overall was average. The appetizers & main dish both were served with Injera Bread (traditional Ethiopian bread).The service was also average (the waiter was in a hurry to explain the dishes presented) .There were neither plates nor cutlery given (only 2 spoons on the appetizers plate).

Overall – Interesting but average experience

I really liked the ambience, not to mention they offer gluten-free injera if you ask for it. :)

Good, typical dishes, but they taste better than some of the places I've been to in other cities. Worth checking out for a romantic dinner or get together for a birthday amongst adults.

Friendly, smiling waiter - overall good experience & plan to go back one day.
