This is a terrible restaurant! Our vegetarian platter was just awful. The injura was stale and cold, obviously not made fresh. The lentils were hard and chewy. It took forever to be served and we thought at least that meant it would be fresh, but no. On top of all this it was really cold and we had to keep our winter jackets on the whole time. For our terrible inedible veggie platter it was $40 plus tax and tip so almost $50!

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Called ahead 20 minutes to order. Asked 'are you sure you'll pick this up' and of course confirmed. Upon arrival they didn't have the food even started, they said they weren't sure we would come? Absolutely stupid and disrespectful. Food is whatever.

In downtown Ottawa, you can find sine great Ethiopian fare. It's in the lower level of the building. Always a great place to catch some futbal.

Excellent Ethiopian food. Reminds me of a place by my house in US. I got the lamb tibs and it was perfectly cooked. Not much chicken options.

The food was old, no flavour at all. And everything was cold. The place was very dark and dusty. The service was terrible and food was expensive. I went for gluten free but it was not a good experience.

Pretty disappointing experience. Used to be a regular when they were a buffet near Elgin and the quality of the food used to be amazing.
Service is still pretty friendly and all but the quality of the food now has really dropped. Last two times all of the lentil dishes were stale and dry and tasted a bit old, like frozen or in the fridge and microwaved. Portion sizes were ok.
Overall quality and taste of food has degraded in a negative way. Hope they can work on quality again. They used to be really good.
Vegetarian options: They also have an entire vegetarian platter option.

Pretty disappointed. I called and ordered a vegetarian platter for 2 off their lunch menu (as opposed to two individual ones, since it comes back a bit cheaper). When I got there, they had prepared two individual platters instead which was not that big of a deal, except there were much more expensive than what was listed online (as individuals); I ended up paying over $45 total. On top of this, the portions were not only small (attached is a picture of one of the platters) but the food really wasn't great - it was cold and oily, almost like it was the leftovers from the bottom of the pot from the night before. I had previously tried them when they had a location on Laurier and had loved it, so this was definitely unexpected.

A great place to eat. The servings are big and served in a beautiful traditional Ethiopian basket. Everything was delicious and not too spicy like some other restaurants. I loved the atmosphere and the friendly staff. Will eat here again.

I am not sure if it was the fact that I went there late or it is generally that way, but the place was empty (had no other customers) dinning in, food was okayish but nothing special. I did not get the Ethiopian food experience I wanted.
