This was my first time trying Ethiopian food, but it will not be my last time eating it because our appetizers, sambusa, and meals were delicious! The lamb was tasty. … More
This place I have been going to for so many years. I decided to patronize my old stomping grounds while I was in the city and I have to say I was extremely dissatisfied! The food was not a full portion they give you a 1/4 of what they would originallY give you. They seem to be very cheap there was stuff floating in the water and let me tell you the biggest disappointment THE FOOD HAS NO FLAVOR! so we spent 50 dollars a person for the horrible food. We got a 2 person platter they don't even give you a chicken leg or an egg they give you small cuts of the chicken like enough for a small child! Guys I am not exaggerating it was horrible. I have had this same meal so many times there. When i said something like this seems wrong they said this is what we give we were always like that and I can 100% tell you that is simply a complete lie. Do not waste your money and do not GO HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO WASTE YOUR MONEY or if you would like super BLAND FOOD!The service is so degraded. They are
Great first ethopian food experience, rich in flavour and spice. (tangy injera, SPICY fish Dora Wot.) Entree was very delicious. Sambosas as appetizers are just okay- would not recommend.
