i have never tried Ethiopian food but was pleasantly surprised! I love trying new food. The place is a bit tucked away beside many different other restaurants so isn't very visible. The decor is a bit old school but that didn't really bother me! The service was fast and with a big smile ! The server checked on us multiple times and always had a sweet smile.
We ordered the Meat combo with Spicy lamb, chicken and beef with gommen, dullet and cottage cheese. This was served with 6 rolls of injera (sourdough-risen flatbread with a unique, slightly spongy texture). The injera itself was interesting. It was a bit sour but balanced out the spiciness of the dishes so well. At first the platter came and I thought oh boy this is so small.. Those little dishes combined was actually a LOT! I couldn't even eat half of my portion. My favourite was the gommen which is a spiced beef tripe. I would come back just for that dish! I've only ever eaten asian style beef tripe. This was refreshing! The spicy chicken had such an amazing texture and sauce.
We also ordered the baklava for dessert. This was also AMAZING!! I will come back for this. It was drizzled .. wait no.. more like drenched in this sweet sauce/paste. I asked and they said it was not made in house. Time to go searching!
At this restaurant you eat mostly with your hands. The injera is used to pick up the food and wrap it! I love hands on food !! :)
