Quiet, unassuming, delicious Ethiopian cuisine. Order at the counter and they'll either take it to your table or you can take it out. All the food is great, I'd recommend the Doro Wot and the veggie combo. Hidden gem!

If you haven't had Ethiopian before, do yourself a favour and drop by this little restaurant. Has a little cafe-esq vibe, do note if it gets busy there may be a bit of a wait while they prep and cook everything to order. Don't forget...Read More

Some of the best Ethiopian food in the City, a hidden gem for sure. I'm not sure why this doesn't make the list of 15 Ethiopian restaurants on a Google search, but consider yourself lucky to find it. Bilu!

Amazing Ethiopian food! If you haven’t tried this cuisine, this is a perfect place to try it out. The vegetarian sampler is incredible. The owner brought us some chickpea sauce to try with it which was amazing. Highly recommend.
