| - At normal menu prices ($14 for one serving or $25.25 for two of the Vegetarian Bayaaynatu platter, which is pretty much all I ever get), Ethiopian House isn't particularly enticing. The service has NEVER earned any points from me, and the food doesn't warrant being double the cost of, say, Nazareth.
But during lunch hours ($8 for the veggie platter for one), it gets about 3 stars. It's filling, fun especially for first-timers, and a nice change of pace if your dietary plan doesn't usually consist of a cold spongy injera blanket with stuff on it. Honestly, I prefer the eating experience over the taste, but the green beans, potatoes and collard greens are my favourite.
As for the century-long coffee ceremony: thick, aromatic shots with a side of burnt popcorn and incense. Maybe worth a try if you're in a group and planning on enjoying some post-dinner dialogue, but if you're just popping by for lunch as I'm advising, plan on grabbing a Double Double instead.
