Thanks to my parents - who drive up from Mississauga at least once or twice a week to dine here - I frequent Nunu quite often.
It really is best described as Ethiopian fusion. You get the essence of the traditional Ethiopian you would find at places like Nazareth and Lalibela but with some twists and turns to spice things up. Portions run a bit smaller than some other places which makes for a great light meal instead of that heavy "why did I eat so many lentils" feeling you can sometimes get with Ethiopian cuisine.
Some must-try favourites include:
*Onion soup made with delicious, rich caramelized onions and safron
*Veggie platter with a wonderful assortment of lentils, beets, greens, root vegetables and a TERRIFIC salad (they refuse to give their secret vinegarette up to me, but it's the best I've ever had)
*Kitfo (steak tar-tar) made with fresh, locally raised mennonite beef, spiced butter and housemade cheese
*Coffee coffee coffee!! Their coffee ceremony is both beautiful and DELICIOUS!
I feel like the staff at Nunu have become an extended part of my family and the service is always great. Ocassionally it takes the food a bit longer than you would like to make it out of the kitchen, but it's always worth the wait and prepared with love.
