I really enjoy eating at Nazareth. The key is to know WHEN to go. There's a magical pocket of time, just before or after the dinner rush...you just have to make sure you get there within that pocket of time. Otherwise, you'll be left waiting for a while.
It's not a terrible wait. Just roll up at the bar and order a drink. That usually makes the wait that much quicker.
I always get the vegetarian dish to share with my partner. It's always more than enough food for the two of us. The veg platter, with an alcoholic beverage for each of us usually costs around the $15 range (with tax)...which is awesome when you're low on cash.
The service is always friendly, even when it's super busy inside.
The reason why I give it 4 out of 5 stars is because the serving size. It's huge. And I'm the type of person who will stop eating when full. You can't do that here. You get a bit of a guilt trip when you don't finish all the food on your plate - which is totally fair...
I can't eat it every week for that reason (too much food!). But other than that, you can't beat it for the price. I've been to other Ethiopian places, and they just don't compare.
