| - I really love ethiopian food, and I eat it a lot. That doesn't mean I'm an expert, or that I know what it "should" taste like, only what I like.
We wanted to try Toronto's ethiopian food and we went here because of the reviews on yelp. It closed relatively early, places here in DC don't really get started until midnight and clearly served a non-ethiopian clientel - the menu had the meat, but not the style of cooking on it.
We ordered kitfo - we asked and received it raw, even though it isn't on the menu that way, and the vegetarian sampler.
The Kitfo was a huge portion, not the most buttery delicious and a bit tough in places, but pretty good. It was slightly spicy with green peppers. It also came with cheese, which is always nice.
The vegetarian sampler was a TON of food, but all of the different dishes were served so close together that you couldn't really discern them and pretty soon it turned into a big mess. It was pretty tasty, but not easily identifiable as any of the vegetarian dishes that we have come to love.
The waitress was friendly, though very busy.
It was a huge amount of food, really we could have had just the vegetarian sampler and been totally fine even though we hadn't eaten all day, and very cheap. It was pretty tasty, just not exactly what I'd expect.
It wouldn't have me saying that I'm done searching for other ethiopian places, but on value alone it would be part of my rotation if I lived in Toronto.
