Lovely spot with great food, friendly service and seating inside or outside. Enjoyed a combination of beef and vegetarian dishes, perfect for two people. It's rather on the pricy side with $25 per dish.

Not sure if the management has changed but we went there & they had no food bcz the previous day was a public holiday! They offered us gurageg which is supposed to be soft sirloin bites but these were large chewy fatty pieces of meat! I wouldn't recommend this dish but we had no choice as they were out of all dishes!

Similar to another guest, I was charged more than the menu indicated. At first I thought I misread the prices. Dishonest, don’t recommend.

The service here is SUPER slow. We had to wait almost an hour to get our order. There were 2 other customers waiting for quite a while ahead of us too. The food is okay but nothing to write home about. I don’t think we’ll come back because almost an hour wait is kind of ridiculous

This restaurant is a total hidden gem!! Amazing food and customer service. She served us a customized Vegetable, Beef and Lamb platter and we added Tbsi. The blend of spice was so perfect and flavourful. Hdmona is by far the BEST and the most traditional Eritrean Food in Calgary. We were impressed about how tasty everything was!!!! Our favourite was Lamb Tibbs and Spinach. Highly recommend and super addictive! Next time I want to try Beef Tbsi and Chicken;-)

**BEWARE**Went looking for ethiopian food as my favourite restaurant seems to have closed down, and selected this place based on reviews, which is why I felt compelled to leave one myself.The vibe is actually kind of neat, tiki style bar and pool tables, but the service was bad, the food was bad, and we were scammed by the staff and left with no option but to pay.We ordered kitfo from the menu (ground beef dish,) and I asked if they had dorowat (chicken drumstick dish,) and she said no, but recommended another chicken drumstick dish. I ordered a coffee to start, (it came after the meal, more on that later,) and we asked for water to drink. We were served two room temperature bottles of water, and when our food came, it was the complete wrong food. It was Tibs and Chacha. No chicken, and not ground beef. I asked if this was the kitfo and chicken we ordered and she said "not today" and walked away, not to return for 40+ minutes with my coffee.The food was pretty bland, tasted of mild spices and extremely dry meat. One dish was laden with knuckle bone, and bone fragments. The coffee was served over 20 minutes after we were done eating, and it has yellow fishing line bunched up in the end. I asked about it, and she stold me I was to keep the plastic string it in to act as a filter, but still ended up with a cup full of coffee grounds. gross.When the bill came, we were grossly overcharged. The meals were on the menu at $17 each, and the coffee was $5, but we were blown away to see the bill: The meals were $25 each, the coffee was $20, and our waters were $6. for two waters. I asked why the prices were so off, and she said "meat cost is high today." I told her it was not alright, and that the menu said different prices, and she wouldn't have it, left us with no option but to pay almost double what the bill should have been, Beware.

We went in after finding Hdmona on Google maps. The lady working (I can't remember her name now!) made sure we ordered correctly and was a riot. She told us how to eat, stopped us from ordering too much, and how to make our coffee, and she was right every single time. Coffee comes after the meal! Everything was fresh and delicious, we will definitely be coming back!Vegetarian options: They made sure our vegetarian had food that didn't touch any meat. :)
The place is ok, they only have Injeera on their menu. For injeera lovers, it's a great place. I wish the would have more varieties of food.They also have shisha for those who enjoy smoking it.

Incredible Eritrean food. Probably the best I've ever had. So flavourful. I highly recommend the veggie platter. The service was super friendly and the place is clean and welcoming. If you are looking for an authentic International Ave. Eritrean meal, this is the place. And the price is right!

Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant in Calgary south east. The service is one of the best.The staff truly cares about their customers. The food is absolutely amazing – everything I tasted melted in my mouths. Myself being native to the food served in this restaurant , the taste is original and unmatched. Absolutely the best and healthiest meal. The coffee ceremony is a unique memory to remain with. Highly recommend!
