This place gets 5 stars just because it is SOOOO ridiculously cheap! I
It's gotta be the cheapest sit-down meal I can think of, plus it's super tasty.
We always get the veggie platter. As mentioned below, 1 veggie platter is big enough to 2 people (really) and costs $8. Tonight 4 of us dined and had 2 veggie platters, and we ended up paying $5 each including tax and tip. Insane!
The veggie platter comes with 6-7 different lentil, spinach, sweet potato and chickpea dishes (1-2 scoops of each). I love it because it's served HOT. A few of the Ethiopian places i've dined at (Lalibela, for example) serve the food luke warm or cold which just is not as tasty.
I have tried some of the meat dishes and they are not as good. However a meat dish paired with a veggie platter can make a decent meal for 2.
As mentioned by others, the place looks slightly sketchy from the outside but it's fine inside - dark and cosy. Expect a line up (everyone loves a bargain!) It's a perfect venue to meet up with friends, squeeze in, share a nice meal and catch up.
I did notice tonight that Nazaret has hired help! There was another woman serving and things seemed to move a bit quicker once we were seated. The food took about 10 minutes to arrive and water was topped up occasionally. The bill came fast too.
