| - I'm not really familiar with the food scene in Toronto, but my brief experiences with this city have taught me that, even with such bounty present, Torontonians do not know the value of good food. Some of the reviews below suffice as evidence.
Dukem is small, and humble. The front is darkened by curtains, and can be quite easy to miss. Yet, every single time that I have eaten here, the place has been more-or-less full. It should be bustling.
The service is timid, but attentive. There is very little grandeur in the way they set up plate at Dukem. You will be given a table, some menus, and then trusted to get on with business. That said, the staff will not fail to give you direction, if you so request. This particular instance, the manager was told that one of our party was vegetarian, and immediately offered to separate all meat from veg. Very considerate.
The food lives up to the hype of Ethiopian food. Spicy, rich, and extremely filling. Our party of four had the veg platter, the kitfo, and a plate of sizzling lamb tibs. The kitfo and tibs were outrageously good. Note: if you want the kitfo raw, you must specify or they will cook it up for you.
Take a slightly longer subway ride, and go to Dukem.
