I love this place, but in the same way that I love Chinese food courts: it's cheap, it's decent, and no waiting (relative to other Ethiopian places, the service is lightening fast).
I've taken friends here several times in the past few years and have always been pleased with the results. That said, I totally agree with the other reviewers who say that they seemed to have really turned the flavour down on their dishes. I went a couple of weeks ago and the flavours were pretty muted (save the lamb) and the price of beer went from $3 to something closer to $5.
Cutting out flavour and making drinks expensive is not a good way to convince me to go back there. I might just have to return to Ethiopia House, 50 minute waits be damned.
