The food here is always delicious and authentic. I love the meat and veg combo platters. The service is charming. Right on the Danforth it’s conveniently located for east end residents.

My family came here to celebrate my mom's birthday, and we were impressed by how kind and helpful the owner and staff were. The food was absolutely delicious — everyone in our group kept talking about how tasty it was! We had the doro wat and some veggie dishes, and everything was perfect. We also ordered ethiopian coffee which everyone loved.
