So I came back with a friend who has never had Ethiopian food before. Our experience was amazing. So amazing that my friend said that she always wants to come here whenever she comes to town.
The vegetarian platter for 3 was so tasty and the presentation of it - of course made me want to take more pictures! Nunu, which we found out later, has had great training in Ethiopian cooling and takes incredible care in the preparation of the food by ensuring the highest quality of ingredients and freshness of the cooked food. They even offer gluten free injera (extra cost and you have to ask for it).
We were paying via a WestQueenWest Gift card. Which was quite new thing to the WQW businesses. She wrote down the info and said that she would process it later. It was impressive to have the "trust" given to us with regards to the payment as our bill was for 3 people. This is not usually the case in Toronto.
I did drop back in the next day as I wanted to make sure that they did get paid. As I didn't see the payment go through. Nunu's husband Chris was able to process this for us. We had also wanted to stop by for Buna (Cafe) side for their Ethiopian Coffee Experience which I would highly recommend if you are a coffee fan. The beans were roasted and coffee prepared right in front of us. Included in this experience was the burning of Frankincense gave off a wonderful smell. Nunu prepared the coffee for us and then Chris came back and gave us a wonderful explanation of the beans, the coffee making process and answered all the questions that we had. Not only did we have amazing coffee, we had a great learning experience. We will definitely be coming back as they offer both the Coffee Making Class and a Cooking Class.
