Was excited to venture out to my beloved Ethiopian House on a recent trip back to Toronto...and found myself incredibly disappointed.
Ordered the Vegetarian Bayanatuu for 2 and a side of Tibs. The portion sizes were small (ridiculously small), the food was bland and worse, undercooked. The prices were still high...too high for a meal that was sub-par at best.
The restaurant was EMPTY so my friend and I asked if we could sit at a larger table with a bit more space to stretch out. The server said No. We suggested that if they ended up needing the table, we'd move to a smaller one. Still NO. After that, we saw the waitress exactly twice -- once to take our order and once to bring it. No check to see how we were doing, no refills on drinks (which we both wanted to order)... We needed more Injera and never ended up being able to order it.
25 minutes after we finished our meal, I had to walk into the kitchen and holler for the waitress to bring us our check. The restaurant was still empty but for one table of 2 that had come in as we were finishing eating.
The bill ended up being $35 and change for lunch. We left hungry and deeply disappointed.
