| - I'm really happy to see that Buraka is making quite a stir in Madison. Went here on Sunday and the place was moderately busy. We chose to sit at the bar, yet service was on the slower end. We were immediately greeted by our bartender, yet menus were not handed right away (Restaurant 101). There were an awkward few minutes without menus. After menus, there were a few more minutes for anyone to ask us what we wanted. I made the initiative to say we were ready to order. Placed drink order, appetizer, and entree all at once. I wanted to order the Samosas, but unfortunately they were out of those (sad face). Instead, I got the tostones which came out promptly. The tostones were served with a house made sauce, which is spicy! They were basically ripe, deep fried plantains. For my entree, I got the Sigowot. I picked the white rice as my side and the entree had a mild kick to it. Food was amazing! I love saucy stews and mixing them with white, fluffy rice. My friend got the injera, and the best I can describe that is by saying it's a semi-sour, spongy tortilla. Great for sopping up the spicy sauces. Menu says you get a lettuce salad, but we were given a lentil salad instead. Lentil salad was delicious, but at this point I'm getting the impression that they are running out of ingredients in the kitchen. I'd give food a 4 star and service a 3. They are probably just getting back into the groove of things, so I will definitely be back for more delicious Ethiopian food.
