We tried the meat combo for two, which comes with 5 appetizers & 5 meat & vegetable meals.
The appetizers portion sizes could have been larger, especially considering they are shared. You only got one tiny taste before it was gone. The saurteeed mixed vegetable was wonderful - we could have had that as a main.
For the meal, the portions look small but there is more than enough food. My only suggestion is to remove the chicken from the bone before serving - considering we are eating with our hands. Two people manipulating the same piece of chicken is not ideal.
The traditional Ethiopian music & artists were great to listen to while we enjoyed our meal.
Great cocktails & friendly staff.

Magnifique restaurant, personnel très sympathique & attentionné. J'ai été déçue par la qualité de certains mets (les légumes caramélisés, la salade de tomates) que nous apprêtons mieux à la maison, ou pour la mousse de pois chiches qui est du hummus en fin de compte. Les ragoûts rappelaient les currys indiens, & le thé éthiopien est en fait une variante de chai. J'aurais aimé un repas qui nous sort encore plus de notre quotidien. Le vin d'importation privée que nous avions choisi était rugueux. L'ingera est vraiment bonne, par contre, & les desserts inclus étaient parfaits! Ce n'était pas si mal, mais je n'y retournerai pas.
