| - Don't read too much into my rating because this was my first experience with Ethiopian cuisine. This place may make amazing Ethiopian food, I would not know. I have been wanting to try Ethiopian food for a long time. Well, today I got my chance. The food was interesting, but I did not like it. The restaurant is in a bad area close to the strip. There was a thick, stinky haze of incense wafting through the air. I did not like that. The TV was blaring music videos in what I assume is the language spoken in Ethiopia. We went during lunch on Thursday, but the restaurant was almost completely empty. The waitress tried to help but the language barrier was too much. I ordered YeDoro Wot, which is chicken cooked in butter and sauteed onions, seasoned with garlic, fresh ginger, and pepper herbs simmered until tender. One chicken drumstick and one hard boiled egg were in the sauce. The waitress spooned it over a plate of the traditional bread. Some kind of crumbly white cheese was also on the bread. Another friend ordered the vegetarian combo, which was also served over the traditional bread. Each order was $8.50. Traditionally you eat with your fingers, but halfway through my meal I asked for a spoon. I did not hate the food. I did not like the food. I would just say that it is exotic. One try is enough for me. I don't intend to return.
