When this place opened in 2012 I tried out the food and it was amazing, which is why this place…read moredeserves three stars for the food. All the other meat dishes like the tilapia were very good but my favorite was the fried chicken, which roasted fresh with authentic Portuguese-style pili pili sauce was tender and juicy. They even had a loyalty card. Fill out a row and get a free meal. Then without warning in 2014 it was closed or rather never opened for a year and a half (I later found out the rent was still being paid despite all this). I had heard that the owners were traveling out of the country to the West African nation of Senegal (during the Ebola outbreak no less, so I feared the worst for them). I was glad when I saw them back in town in 2017 but when the restaurant reopened I was told that it was under new management and the manager refused to honor the loyalty card. He jokingly offered me a free meal as a handout if I had no money, which ticked me off since all I wanted was my money's worth. I hate it when businesses do that, taking people's money and then pulling this stunt. Even before they closed, I wanted to redeem my loyalty card for a free meal, but the owner Kadi asked if I could refrain from doing so as she said that money was tight and like a sucker I believed her. I should have said too bad and lawfully claimed my free meal. Now that it's under a new business number even though it's still the same owners (obviously a scam and most likely a front), I can't legally force them to honor their loyalty card. Also, which restaurant can stay in business even when it's So I never did try the food under the new management and it's just as well since reviews on other sites have the less than stellar comments about the overall food quality and the cleanliness of the place, too.

Found this place on yelp, 40 min drive from DT, but to try Senegalese goat it was worth the effort. We preferred Two ordees of goat, one order if plantain.... ask for pili pili oh the side. It wasn't really hot which was disappointing... We're use to the pili pili from Congo the can send you to the hospital! The goat takes about 30 min but it was worth the wait. We actually preordered so by the time we arrived it was ready. Friendly waitress. Clean resto and loved the music. I'd ask for the banana to be cut thicker because it was too thin and hard. The goat just needed to be accompanied by a beautiful pili pili so that's all that we were really missing. Will come back with some in my bag maybe lol. I'm excited to try other menu items.

My friends have been here many times, but I only had the pleasure for the first time recently…read more I was told ahead of time to plan to spend a good amount of time here, Everything is cooked completely fresh to order. We arrived just as they were opening, so there was a bit of a wait, but we came prepared with wine and good company, so it was no issue, and SO worth it! The food was delicious. As a newbie to this cuisine, my side of the table ordered the mild dishes, and honestly, I can't wait to go back and try some of the spicier choices. Will visit again soon!

Always, always, the best food on earth! These are some of my favourite dishes ever!!! From the…read moresucculent beetroot salad to the homemade cheese to the sultry spiced lentils; I'd eat this luxurious and mouthwatering food everyday for the rest of my life if I could and I'd still look like a hot snack. This resto is like a one-way ticket to Addis Ababa to have dinner with Mulatu Astatke and the Queen of Sheba. We eat our feast along the Blue Nile and listen to Yekermo Saw on repeat!! Then we are served the ancient and elaborate coffee ceremony. I see the Lion of Zion ! blessings of the Almighty unto thee in the name of the One and Celestial. Legend has it that the fabled lost Ark of the Covenant is in Ethiopia and with one bite ... it'll be all up in your mouth! Seriously, you will be talking directly to G-d her/him/it -self when you eat this food. As you saunter into the deliciously holy temple that is East Africa Restaurant you'll be ensconced in a warming red glow and a most enchanting scent which will undoubtedly transport you to a faraway spice market somewhere along the Eastern Rift Valley at the cradle of civilisation in the Horn of Africa. We are all African. We all come from Africa. Our ancestors were all borne into being ... right here in Africa. As you take your seat you will melt through space and time. This is the culminating point of the Spice Route. This is the terminus of the spice trade. This is where all things delicious come to be eaten. This is the sanctum sanctorum; the holy of holies, where the magic happens. Ethiopian cuisine is probably my favourite food in the entire world. This is an historic account of true fusion; ancient fusion. This is where spices from the four corners of the world reach their scrumptious confluence. This is the meeting point of global flavour. The amazing Jewish Ethiopian/Eritrean mom and pop dynamic duo who run the show here are some of the best people in the world and they are the proverbial mom and pop of all humanity. Mmmm scrumptious and delectable humanity. I always order my vegetarian platter. This comes with a beautiful stew of root vegetables like carrots, potatoes and turnips simmered to perfection in a sort of "curry" sauce. There are also two kinds of lentils on this platter; one oh so sumptuously flavoured savoury version and a more piquant spiced version. There is a beautiful tomato salad that'll knock your socks off. Then the spinach; I don't know what they do to that spinach but it's the best I've ever tasted. All of this is served on a pillowy soft and spongy sourdough-leavened flatbread called Injera; somewhat similar to a crêpe. You absolutely must order the beetroot salad; you've never had beets like this before. They also make a special Ethiopian cheese but if you're a keener you'll order it a day in advance because it goes fast. Finish your meal with Ethiopian tea or coffee. This is the best coffee you'll have at any restaurant like this. The tea is beautifully flavoured with a delicious and special African cinnamon. Wow, you can almost see the ancient ruins of Lalibela in the distance. Is that a civet stalking some prey? No, is it a gazelle or kudu? Yes, folks, rediscover your African roots here; you'll remember your ancient heritage with that first mouthful of glory and it only gets better. Humans became human beings in Africa and through Africa we will once again rediscover our humanity. Remember at the end of your day and at the end of each meal that countless men, women and children across the African continent lack the bare minimum of necessities for survival; abject poverty, malnourishment, drought, famine and starvation are the reality for so many people. Whilst this may seem inconceivably unfathomable to some of us living in Western opulence ... it is sadly all too true. Instead of buying materialistic Christmas gifts this year ... think about making a charitable donation to the CHF -- Canadian Hunger Foundation -- they have been ceaselessly engaged in the fight against poverty, inequality and hunger across the globe for the last fifty years. Don't buy some empty bauble, toy or iThing this season ... instead give the gift of a dairy cow, goat or vegetable garden to a family in dire need. Enjoy.

Just left this place with my 3 kids, hubby and mother in law. This was the 3rd time we went here…read more We used to like it, the food is good, pretty pricey but since the food is good, we still come here. However, the man who runs the restaurant got mad at us for simply using American Express. My husband asked him if he can pay by credit card, he said yes. My husband, put the card in, like the usual and paid. The man noticed after the transaction that it was American Express and he all of a sudden burst out which caught everybody's attention & telling my husband that American Express is not a credit card (what????) and talking to him as if my husband is an idi*t. Im glad my husband kept his cool bcoz his mom was there. It is not our fault that it caused them some fee for getting payment from Amex. He could have specified that they only accept Visa or MC. We came, eat and paid, he even got a tip of course! We are good customer but definitely doesn't deserve the treatment after the payment fiasco. Bottomline, we will definitely not coming back here anymore bcoz of his attitude. Cant help but spread the word to my family and friends. Attached photo with rice & salad is $70.00 + tax.

The goat, lamb, and oxtail were absolutely out of this world, flavorful, tender, and perfectly executed. Huge shoutout to the bartender as well, as he clearly knows exactly what he is doing and crafts excellent drinks. Unfortunately, the table service was subpar and dragged the experience down. Our server was highly inattentive, left us waiting for long stretches, and never introduced herself. She also missed the opportunity to see if we wanted another round of drinks once dinner arrived. Most disappointing of all, they completely looked past the note on our reservation about celebrating my mother's birthday. Go for the incredible food, but the front of house service needs a lot of work.

Le sigh. We ordered two orders of Poulet Frit Beurre Miel (Honey Butter Fried Chicken), Batonnets De Fromage (Mozzarella Sticks), Frit De Patate Douce Avec Sauce Beurre-Miel (Sweet Potato Fries with Honey Butter Sauce) and a liter of Sapporo. Unfortunately, our waiter messed up our order and brought us boneless wings instead of bone in. The chicken can definitely use some improvement by being seasoned throughout. The waiter was apologetic, but instead of apologizing, he should've wrote down what we ordered. Also the ginormous pieces of chicken were overwhelming. I wish they had more sauce. The batter should've been seasoned before dredging the chicken. Compliments to the chef on his frying technique. The chicken was still crunchy a day later. I thought it was a little odd that they brought out mozzarella sticks with a side of salsa. I guess they do things a little different in Canada. The sweet potato fries were good, but also they need more honey butter sauce. We've never had Sapporo and it was so refreshing. It paired extremely well with the chicken.
