| - This resto was an exciting find for a few reasons: 1. They're the only restaurant in the eastern downtown core besides Ethiopiques (which has horrible service for delivery, and is not allowed on JustEats anymore due to this.) 2. the owner is lovely and kind, so you want to support her. 3. If you are gluten-free, they have FRESH teff injera made in Ethiopia to offer (unlike Ethiopian House, or Ethiopiques -- the former which never has it and the latter which gives you injera so stale it's cracked). 4. this was the first Ethiopian restaurant in Toronto to actually give me exactly what I ordered! Rendez-vous has fantastic food, and I've ordered from them over 100 times, but I've NEVER received exactly what was described on the menu for the vegetarian platter, but instead, whatever they had around.
The food was good, and less oily and salty than other Ethiopian restos. The injera was fresh and tasty. The flavours of the dishes were good, but not quite as refined as at Rendez-vous. The chickpeas could have cooked a little longer as some were still crunchy and I prefer more of a mush than a thick paste (see the pic). Overall, this is the best experience I've had at any Ethiopian restaurant in Toronto so I'll definitely return.
