Absolutely loved the food !! The quantity of the curries on the enjera was little less but we e joyed every bite of it. The young boy serving us was very detailed, helpful and respectful. They can definitely do better with the entrance, ambience and floor cleanup. Other than the food was freshly made and was very appetizing

My favourite east African food restaurant that I've eaten at and one of my favourite restaurants overall. The portions are generous, me and my girlfriend are able to share a meat platter and feel full, and the food is delicious, my favourite being the Zigni. Extremely friendly and generous hospitality. Full stars and highly recommend this place.

The atmosphere is great, the portion sizes are extremely generous ( I don’t think I have ever been served this much food before), and the server was also very kind. The food however was not to my taste, I had the veggie platter. It was quite bland, the spinach was a bit bitter, and there was something that was extremely sour that had soaked into a portion of the injera, perhaps a vinegar from the salad

We happened upon this awesome restaurant coming out of landsdown subway station and I'm so happy we did! The atmosphere was great, inviting and serene. The service was top notch, super friendly and we felt welcomed immediately! Very clean and authenticly decorated. Our waitress was amazing and even asked if we required cutlery ( which we declined) however it was thoughtful of her to ask. We ordered the meat platter for 2 and it came out in a great presentation and was huge! The different recipes were spiced perfectly and absolutely delicious. The price was amazing! There is also a dessert shop with various authentic desserts which we ordered to go as we were very full from the one platter. I wished we lived closer so we could go there more often but we will be making specific trips just to go back. Absolutely loved it!!

The worst Ethiopian food I ever tasted.

One of the worst Ethiopian/ Eritrean places I ve ever seen in Toronto . Food was served cold, LITERALLY and it was rationed. On top of that the food taste really was trash. Don t recommend at all!

The food was incredible, the injera bread was soft and fluffy, while all the accompanying curries and meats were flavourful. Get some k amun(sp?!) tea to go with the meal! The portions are large and meant for sharing, and the prices are very reasonable as a result. Parking: 10-20spots around the corner

I recently tried the frittata and baked beans, ordered through Uber Eats. Both were so delicious! The beans appeared to be refried beans, and there was an egg, diced tomatoes, chopped onions, some cheese, and olive oil in the beans. I never knew how tasty this combination would be - especially with the olive oil. Also, the order came with 3 huge freshly baked pieces of bread - each one about half the size or larger than a packaged loaf from the grocery store.

New Favorite spot for my husband and I! the price is the most affordable in the neighborhood. The quality is top notch, flavors are to die for, and the portions are out of this world. One order can feed two people, and you will still have some food to take home. Visually beautiful and very clean, we paid $24.00 in total for our meal.
