| - The food was great, everything else was a nightmare. Avoid this restaurant, unless you order the food for take-out!
I never had Ethiopian, so the star rating, the location near the apartment we rented, and the line-up we've seen every day convinced us to try it. We arrived at the restaurant at 8:30pm. Took a good 45 minutes before being seated. There was only two groups of people before us, the staff never came to greet us before it was our turn. Once we sat down, it took another 30 minutes before the waitress came to get our order. By then we were almost ready to leave, but the food looked and smelled so great that we stayed.
We finally got our food around 10pm. We were starving! Luckily the food was great. Unfortunately, the bad service didn't stop there. Half-way done with our plate, we needed more injera (the bread used as an ustensil). We couldn't see a single waitress in the restaurant. It took almost another 20 minutes before we could get additional bread -- 20 long minutes we couldn't eat since there are no forks on the table. By the time we finally got the additional bread, the food was cold and we weren't hungry anymore.
Overall, a very frustrating night. I'm usually very patient and forgiving, especially when the food is good, but for this one, I can't honestly give more than a star.
