It's been a while I had Ethiopean food and I took my friend from out of town to impress her with…read moretheir amazing platter. Ordered veg +meat combo platter. My friend was impressed. However My knowlege of Ethiopean food is very shallow, I only know some names such as "Tibs"( meat fried with butter, garlic , onion & pepper), "Injera"(fermented flat bread) "Doro Wat" "Awaze"(sauce), etc. Their menu description in English was very confusing. Almost all the meat dishes had different names but they were mostly sauteed with butter, garlic, onion & pepper. Wait staff was trying to explain that there are various options of meat such as spicy, non spicy, ground meat version, etc. but I was not even sure, I was served with what I actually chose. For example, if you look at #60 &#61, only difference I see is one is served on sizzling plate. However their names are completely different. 60. ChachA Charbroiled beef tender seasoned with spices, onion, garlic, red pepper, green pepper, ginger, rosemary, served with Injera and green salad (It comes with a special sizzling pot). 61. DereK Tibes Charbroiled beef tender seasoned with spices, onion, garlic, ginger, green & red peppers, rosemary, served with Injera and green salad.

This place has Nigerian, Congolese, Ivorian & Senegalese dishes…read more Mbote (Congo, Chicken) was pretty good. The stew was decent (very fishy). The rice was pretty fluffy. I think the chicken is Senegalese though. Suya beef (Nigeria) was a little tough but quite tasty. Ya Foye (Ivory Coast) was decent. The salsa like thing was nicer than the fish. The bissap was tarter, stronger & less sweet than at other places. Service is very slow here

This is a dark restaurant…read more Good in general was just OK. Salt fish fritter - too puffy and could use more fish. The rice and peas was tough. This was not enjoyable. It was like we got bottom of pot's crust. Jerk pork - the pork was tender and had a good grilled flavour Jerk chicken - more like a flavourful bbq chicken Cold slaw Ok. It was more of a mayo flavour. Overall, nothing special.

The food was okay. The service was all right too. I…read moreordered the pepper shrimp for appetizer, The jerk pork sandwich main and rum cake for dessert . I like the pepper shrimp. The jerk pork sandwich I could have passed on. The pork slices were way too big and chunky for the sandwich and the rum pie was good but I felt could use ice cream instead of whipped cream. You're never disappointed with tap water are you? LOL The restaurant was pretty dim. Didn't really give me a Caribbean Vibe aside from the colors. I probably wouldn't go again to be honest, but give it a try if you haven't before

Service was great. We came a little after the dinner rush and got our food at a reasonable time…read more The jerk chicken rasta pasta was so good! Chicken was nice and juicy.

The poutine was flavorful and the fires were so crispy. My FAVORITE item on the menu was the festivals with the curry chicken gravy, to die for. Do not leave without trying the festivals & the fried chicken!! Service - 10/10!! Our server was so sweet and knew her stuff, she was working by herself and we did not have to wait on anything. Ambiance - the restaurant is modern and extremely clean. They have a good amount of dine in seats available. Music was of course great as well. we will def be back!!

Wow! I'm definitely coming back here…read more I love Ethiopian food so once I saw an Ethiopian restaurant near me I knew I had to try it. The Vegetarian Bayaaynatu is a must get! I like lentils as much as the average person but oh god I didn't know it was possible to put this much flavor in lentils! It tastes so good especially with the injera bread. I just know that I'll be ordering the vegetarian bayaaynatu every single time I come here. This dish cemented this place as a staple for me! As for the meat Bayaaynatu, it comes with a serving of the Goreng Goreng and the Tibs. It says the Goreng Goreng is best served rare but I know myself and wouldn't be able to eat rare meat and ordered it medium and I really liked it! I'd definitely get it again, it tasted so flavorful and the meat was tender and cooked just right. As for the Tibs, it came out pinker than I'd like. It tasted ok, but it was definitely overshadowed by everything else on the plate and we didn't end up finishing it. I tried it out and it tasted fine but the pink color just freaked me out to be honest! All the table have no cutlery so you have to eat everything with your hands, which I personally love! I love the place's decorations and aesthetic, but it can get a bit stuffy. We came on a hot summer day and they have no AC so it was pretty stuff and sweaty in there, but any complaint was gone once the food came out :p The server is just one guy, but food still came out quickly. I'm very satisfied with my whole experience here and I'm definitely coming again and will have to try every dish on the menu!

Beef taba (sp?) was the same price as goat. It was good - pretty tender, quite tasty & quite a good cut. The meats had a chunky sauce on the side which was tasty. Jollof rice was pretty good - quite smoky. Bissap juice (hibiscus juice) was made inhouse. It was pretty good.

Can't hardly wait for our next visit!

This was another Ethiopian restaurant that I went to in Toronto…read more I love Ethiopian food, so I definitely wanted to get some on my vacation. I got the Doro Watt, which is like a savory chicken stew on the Enjera bread. A lot of Ethiopian cooking is hardy sauces, and stews to be eaten with the bread . This one even came with a hard boiled egg . The service is always nice at Ethiopian restaurants. They're not typically packed, but they are a niche style of dining, so when they have customers the weight staff are typically extremely friendly and it feels like you're eating at somebody's home.
