Finger food... done a whole other way! Imagine curries and meats and veggies on top of this sourdough pancake thing used to scoop it up. And so much food you'll have trouble finishing it.
We ordered the platter for four. The food isn't all that spicy, but is flavourful. It came out on this huge plate for us to share (they'll do individual plates if you're weird about eating from the same big one) with extra injera on the side (the sourdough pancake stuff). $18 a person. I'm imagining the IKEA commercial with the lady running down the road yelling, "Start the car!" It's a steal. There was still some food left to take home.
Marathon's easy to spot if you're looking for it, but also easy to walk right by if you aren't. The door's kind of tucked away to the side. If you've never had Ethiopian food, Marathon is a good choice to experience it.
