Delicious!
We had been wanting to try an Ethiopian restaurant in Toronto for a while and last week there was a coupon available through teambuy. So what better time to try then when the food is cheap!
We ordered lentil soup, the spicy lentil stew and fasolia. All of the dishes were excellent and with all that protein we couldn't finish our meals. As the stew suggests, it is spicy. I personally thought it was the perfect amount of spice, but depending on your tolerance you might want to try just the mild lentil stew.
If you haven't eaten at an Ethiopian place before your table can eat off a common plate. And you eat your food using the injera and your hands. This experience is one of my favourite parts about this type of cuisine. The waitress did ask if we wanted a common plate or not, so I am assuming you can each get your own if you aren't sharing or are a germ-a-phobe.
Other great things are the atmosphere, the service (the waitress was very friendly) and the price. Between the two of us we couldn't spend the entire teambuy coupon if we wanted to.
A couple things to keep in mind when you go are:
- If it is your first time, this place can be a little difficult to spot, so have a watchful eye.
- If they aren't too busy, go to the back to grab the waitresses attention, otherwise you might be waiting for a while before they notice you.
- If you are driving, there is parking on the off streets. It is $2.50 an hour.
Enjoy the experience. =)
