| - I visited Pero's with a Groupon on a weekday night dinner around 5:30pm. The restaurant was completely empty except for us, which worried me slightly but I didn't think too much into it.
We ordered the Pero's Platter which comes with 2 meat dishes and 3 veggie dishes. The base includes a layer of the sour bread, injera and then the dishes are placed on top and are separated with more rolls of injera. There was also a salad right in the center of the platter. You're meant to just use the bread to scoop up the dishes into your mouth. The quantity of food for 2 people was quite large, and we couldn't finish everything. I also would've liked to have picked the dishes we were receiving! I saw in the menu they had a lot of different dishes and ordering the platter just seemed like a lucky draw.
In terms of flavour, I wasn't blown away. Because of the style of eating and the way the dishes looked similar to Indian food, I think I assumed that there would be more flavour and punch but instead most of the food was pretty bland. This could also be due to the fact that I'm Indian myself and I usually prefer food to have more flavour and spice in general.
The whole vibe of the place was cool though, there was comfy seating, curtains and candles everywhere, very lounge-y and home-y.
Unfortunately, I wouldn't visit again. Although I didn't hate it, I just didn't like it enough to go back. Would recommend to friends though as a cool place to try for the experience, very unique!
