| - Food is o.k.
At least they're open at lunchtime, unlike a few other Bloor-based Ethiopian restaurants (ex: Nazareth, African Palace). My order took 10-15 min. in advance to prepare.
I've only ever ordered a veggie platter from them. I've had the platter elsewhere; usually it comes with a small portion of salad in the middle. Not here. Which is fine, but I only come here every few months so I think that I'll be surprised each time I don't see a salad included.
There is technically some street parking, especially if you're lucky.
Today was prob. an off day. I've been here before and have never had issues (apart from walking here with my furry friend, and his steady barking since there was an odd character/drunk? drugged? near him. The preordered Take Out food seriously didn't arrive fast enough that day).
The person working there today didn't speak especially loudly or clearly, so I don't know what she mumbled as she left for the kitchen. I was finishing up my credit card payment when she left. My mind was preoccupied by the fact that I parked in a dumb spot and knew it. Figured because I didn't hear what she said, that it wasn't a big deal and so I grabbed the order that was visible and left.
Got home, hungry! Aimed for the food. Happily so. Saw that there wasn't any cutlery included. Guessed that was maybe what the person was saying, after all.
No. Actually, it was a meat-based dish. I called, and spoke with the person. She said the only thing that could be done at this point, is an exchange - the wrong item for my item.
Things worked out, afterwards.
I admit to being preoccupied, but from her end, speaking more loudly and directly to me would have gotten my attention. I was at the tailend of my transaction, and knew that she said -something-, but her voice was low in tone and I really had no idea what she said. I was told that this has happened before. Not often, I'd assume. We both apologized to each other in the end, and that was the end of today's confusing visit.
