| - I went here with my boyfriend. We were just looking to try something different to try. Well, i was looking for something different, and he is a good sport! I had read about this place awhile ago, and heard the doors were closing at the end of the month. It was time to get out and try it.
We went Friday night a little early (around 6ish). The place was busy, but not packed. We ordered the alitcha wat, gomen besiga, doro wat, and shiro wat. Based on other reviews we ordered a side of injera. The whole experience was new to me. The food is wonderfully spiced. The smells are delicious. It's also BYOB With a low corkage fee. The overall ambiance was nice.
The shiro wat was by far my favorite. A little spicy, and completely delicious. The flavors of the doro wat were great, but every time we went to take a bite somehow we ended up with a bone. The alitcha way and gomen besiga were ok. Nothing stood out there. I liked the injera, but my boyfriend didn't really enjoy the taste or the feel of the bread.
Overall, eating without utensils, was not something I was a huge fan of, and don't get me wrong, I have no probably eating with my hands. There was just something about this type of food, and eating with my hands that was somewhat unappetizing. Maybe the visual of everyone around me didn't help. Regardless, taste trumps everything else, and it was not quite there for me. I think I should have stuck to the vegetarian entrees.
