| - I love Ethiopian food, but I am usually stuck with the chain style Blue Nile in most cities.
An Ethiopian craps dealer at Jokers Wild in Henderson recommended this to me. I was NOT disappointed, far from it. This is my new "Must Go" gem in Las Vegas when I come visit, and I come often, and I thought I knew ALL the "off the beaten path" gems. OH no, this place is now THE place for me.
I went for BREAKFAST, as my flight was leaving in a few hours. If breakfast (I believe the dish I had was called Quanta firfir) is this amazing, I can only imagine dinner.
My waitress was a DARLING! I sat outside to get the last of the warm desert sun before heading back to Snowland. I asked her to suggest something, and she suggested a dried beef/jalapeno/injera soaked in some kind of tomato stew.
It is also served ON injera, so there is a lot of injera.When it arrived, the smell was exotic and heavenly. The quality of the beef was wonderful, and the flavors were divine. SO good!!
Service was over the top. You could not want for anything, the waitress was running back and forth to make sure I always had what I needed,
And the portion was MASSIVE. THREE people could have eaten off of that one breakfast. I NEVER waste food if at all possible, so when I was full, I asked the waitress to box up the leftovers well, so I could give it to one of the many homeless in Vegas. I was sure I would find someone on my way to the airport.
So she packaged it SO well, put in napkins and everything. I found my hungry guy on the way to the airport, and when he smelled the inside of the bag, his eyes lit up like he had just found nirvana.
I cannot wait to go back to Vegas, and this is one of the reasons for sure. Can't wait to try more on the huge menu.
And the prices looked VERY VERY reasonable. And that's BEFORE considering how large the portion was. AAAA++++
