Being a big fan of Ethiopian food I opted not to try the combination platters and instead went straight to my favourite foods: shiro and doro wat. Shiro is a thick spiced chickpea pur\u00E9e and doro wat is an extra spicy stew with chicken and a hard boiled egg. The shiro at Rendez-vous was just ok for me. It was flavourful but just didn't hit the spot in the way shiros in my past experiences (in Ethiopia of course) did. The doro wat on the other hand was delicious. I could have more of that! My only complaint would be that it was just a tiny amount of chicken on the stew. I know, I know. The sauce is the best part anyway! Oh and mmmmm injera...\nI need not make comments on how good that stuff is! \n\nThis place was recommended as a good date night spot. It was nicely decorated with traditional looking tables and dim red lights. However, we were seated so close to our neighbours that we might as well have been a group of six. Staff were super nice. Service was not as slow as people have mentioned. \n\nOverall a 3.5 if I could!"^^ . "3"^^ .
