Had a wonderful evening here on the patio. Service was great and the food was so good. I've been to…read moremany Ethiopian restos but this has the best Injera. It's soft, not chewy or spongy or sour. It was a great vessel for the assorted meat and veggies platter we ordered. Oddly, the salad was a fave of mine along with the chicken and ground beef. I also had coffee service where they roast the beans in-house. Be sure to account for the half hour it takes for this ritual. It comes out with incense and is beautifully presented as per my pic. I will definitely return to try other items.

So far, I've only tried one dish on the menu (Kitfo, a buttered minced beef dish)...but I keep…read morecoming back for that dish! It's that good! There's something about the flavor; I can't describe it, but I've found it hard to find at other Ethiopian restaurants. Aside from that, the restaurant has a nice ambience, and Anwar (the owner) and his staff are very friendly. (If you're familiar with the now defunct Ethiopian restaurant Ensira, Yegna now occupies that space.) If you're looking for late night eats, then in addition to conventional restaurant hours, Yegna is also open from midnight to 6am on Saturday nights (or Sunday mornings, to be precise), and they have a special menu for that time that apparently includes a dish for alleviating hangovers! A welcome addition to International Avenue. One of these days, I'm going to try something else on the menu!

Delicious food just like the dishes I remember from my time in Ethiopia. I highly recommend!!!read more

O wanted to try an Ethiopian place downtown, Abyssinia Restaurant, that was recommended by her…read moreEthiopian co-worker. It's located next door to TAO Vietnamese Cuisine. We dropped in on a Friday afternoon (around 12:45pm). There were a couple people eating but for the most part, it was empty. The inside is spacious and they had incense sticks lit in the room. Service is slow and non-existent. You literally have to ask for everything. Our waitress asked if we were ready to order and then proceeded to leave when we said yes. She also didn't explain any of the dishes to us when she brought the food out to our table. Their on Ethiopian time; you'll know what I mean if you've been for Ethiopian food before. Menu is split into appetizers & salads, meat mains, vegan mains and drinks. - Mahiberawi ($49.99 for 4) - meat and vegetable combo platter. This easily fed four of us. Kitfo, k'ik'il, doro wot', k'ey beg wot', kale gommen besiga, ayib and special vegetarian combo of the day. It's a good variety of food although I didn't particularly find anything that stood out to my taste buds. The injera was light and airy but I didn't find it to have much of a sour taste on its own. The lamb was tasty but not much meat, mostly bone. A touch too salty. The raw ground beef was interesting; almost like a tartare. The yellow and green lentils were run of the mill but the beets and carrot/cabbage were good. Same for the kale and spinach. Worth a try but not sure if Abyssinia would be on my list to come back to.

We had an amazing dinner at this quaint restaurant. The four of us decided on the Mahibarawi meat…read moreand vegetarian platter. It was full of flavour and a wonderful variety for our first experience of Ethiopian cuisine. We also enjoyed the Coffee Ceremony with the burning of Frankincense. The prices were extremely reasonable for a party of 4. I would definitely recommend this dining experience.

They offered us gurageg which is supposed to be soft sirloin bites but these were large chewy fatty pieces of meat!

My son dragged me here and as a first timer to Ethiopian, I must say although it is different, it was very good! Thankfully they helped us order and you don't get any silverware, but we figured it out and left full and happy!

Easily the best Ethiopian meal and food I have ever had and possibly one of the best overall meals…read moreI have ever had. Excellent service and friendly staff. Very fair prices for the quality and portions. They also use compostable plates and cutlery. Vegan and gluten free. I had the Beyaynetu (veggie platter) and it was so delicious. They had three mushroom stews that were insanely good. I wish I lived in Calgary. I would eat here weekly. They are in the Avenida Food Hall at the end. I highly recommend. Pricing, service, flavor, eco-friendly...the best restaurant I have been to in a long time!

I've eaten at Teff n Greens a few times and it's incredibly delicious! It's totally vegan as well…read more Located within the Avenida Food Hall, there's lots of seating nearby. They sell frozen items now, too, so you can enjoy their wonderful flavours at home. They're happy to sample items if you're not sure. I am a big fan of the veggie platter because it has a bit of everything! I'm happy to support a local business. A couple visits ago I met Timo, the owner, who is very kind and clearly has a love for what he does. The only downside is that the market is only open Thursday to Sunday. I wish I could eat Teff n Greens every day of the week! If they ever open their own restaurant, I'll be the first to visit.
