| - Really excited to try ethiopian because i never had it before. The food is extremely delicious though the service is terrible.
My friend and I shared #3, the beef tibs in sauce, with lettuce, tomato and a bit of cheese on the side, $12 tips included. It comes with injera, which is a very spongy flatbread made from teff flour, an ancient grain high in protein. The plate is HUGE! We were stuffed and we still had 1/3 of the dish left. The menu says for 1 or 2 people, but it's plenty for 2. The dish also comes with one injera bread per person on the side. Tangy spicy sauce and warms your stomach. They give you a water jug in which you serve yourself. A couple stores down, there's also an ethiopian restaurant, i'd like to try that next time.
Upside:
1.Tasty food with cultural plates
2. traditional decor and artworks (thought the vines and plants are fake)
3. smells nice of incense
Downside is that:
1.our order took about 25mins to make and we were the first ones in the restaurant.
2. yelp says the restaurant opens at 3pm, it actually opens at 3:30pm
3. the server is never around: Nobody greeted us, we had to yell "hello?", we had questions about the menu but she was always in the kitchen, we waited for a long time for her to come out for the bill, when we did come out she quickly went back so you have to be quick to call out
4. we actually ordered 2 dishes, #3 and #6, but since she never repeated the order, we ended up getting #3 only. for the better i guess, since the dish is large.
5. when she doggie bagged the remains, she put the bread at the bottom so when i got home, the bread was all soggy. maybe it's just a personal thing, but i'd like my bread on the side. plus, she didn't add forks :/
6. the washrooms are dark and a little creepy
