| - What. An. Amazing. Experience.
This place is elegant, classy, and charming. I read that the service was terribly slow and expected just that, but it was friendly, helpful, and quick instead. None of us really knew what would be best to order, so our server suggested we get a plate that is not on the menu that provides about 80% of authentic Ethiopian food. It gave us the chance to taste majority of the flavours and satisfy our curiosity!
First they brought out a vegetarian plate that had 3 items - spicy diced tomatoes, an interesting spin on hummus with eggplant, and sauteed mixed vegetables. It's presentation was remarkable, it tasted phenomenal, and was a great start to this foodieventure.
Then they brought out a large silver tray with portions of lamb, filet mignon, beef, and chicken. In between these portions were other vegetarian options like spinach tossed with onions, lentils, salad, and a pea-puree. Everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection.
Absolutely. Everything. Promise.
Now, what makes this one-hell-of-an-experience is the rolled up pancake looking bread that you use to pick up all these rich flavours. You eat every bite with your hands and really get in to it with no shame.
I paired my meal with a glass (or 3) of their Shiraz and was pleasantly satisfied with how it complimented the meal perfectly.
