    Relaxed vibe sometimes accompanied by live music, and tasty meat and veg options to scoop up into strips of injera (a spongy sourdough, crepe-like bread.) We like getting the veggie combo of 4 items to share, then adding the very flavourful Inguday Tibs (mushrooms), anchored by the unique Kitfo, a ground beef cooked with spiced butter and Ethiopian spices, and served with a homemade (mild feta-like) cheese. All dishes were very flavourful, and portions are much more filling than they may initially appear.

    Food was fantastic and service was friendly. Some reviews say it took a while for food to come which I agree with but I am fine with that as it means they are making it fresh and its not sitting there under a heat lamp. Recommend and will return!
