I have been there 2 times and regreted everytime... Im a gemini so I like to be open minded and give things another chance..This place gets no more and this is why....
When I went, I was impressed with the interior its interesting but somewhat dark and questionable..
It was empty, always empty but like I said the interior tricks you, ive been to other places near by often and I look over at the blue nile and its empty...
the owner is unpleasantly uncoof. He sits in front of the small akward bad feng shui entrance smoking ciggarettes and blowing thick clouds of poison across the entry way all while continuously spitting lugeys on the ground where the potential customers have to walk...
Finally, arriving inside the owner will come in and talk to you a bit then spit on the floor inside the restaurant right in front of you but this time he does turn his head to the side..so I will give him that.
The dining area towards the back is an illusion and drab with a feeling like there frontin on the culture, and all the drums in the corner never get used, again it dark...
The setting is foreign and unusual...but you have to remember you are in a foreign restaurant....
when ordering its kinda intimidating because well its foreign..
So, the food arrives...though looking like blobbs of goo on a weird but very large bland pancake...they use no seasonings the food is just not good unless you have no tongue and you are being fed by a tube going down your throat...
They are understaffed, the staff that is there somewhat always seems slighty excited that there is someone coming in to possibly spend money there so there almost friendly....i will give them that.
you eat with your fingers...just makes me feel like a poor starving ethiopian...( bring your own utensils)
But what killed it for me over all was after recieving my food the dissapointment that was on a continuous downward spiral...The regret of not going somewhere else and having to pay for what this restaurant "claims" to be ethiopian food..
My belly rumbled with disgusting anger, even the colors are so boring...then you begin to look around and all that surrounds a mirage..
