Ethiopian Restaurants in Toronto, ON

“Best Ethiopian cuisine in town..great service...must try after sumptuous feast is hard to beat Ethiopian coffee.“

“great food an amazing service beautiful vibe, cozy it is a place to be for good time. ❤“

“I don't know the first thing about Ethiopian food, but my wife likes it and enjoyed this. The server - who I think might be the owner - was fantastic, very friendly. The restaurant was well maintained (that used to be a given at restaurants, much less so these days), clean, and had a very family friendly vibe.

Will definitely go again!“

“I had the pleasure of enjoying kitfo at Mesobs Restaurant, and I must say—it was absolutely delicious and authentic. The texture, flavor, and the way it was seasoned truly reminded me of traditional kitfo at its best. It was served fresh and perfectly prepared, with the right balance of spices and clarified butter. A real treat for anyone who loves Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine!

I noticed someone mentioned that the kitfo had tomato sauce in it, which surprised me. In my experience at Mesobs Restaurant there was no tomato sauce added at all—just the classic ingredients you’d expect in a well-made kitfo. Perhaps there was a misunderstanding or a one-time variation, but my meal was genuinely satisfying and true to Ethiopian culinary tradition.“

“Amazing food, cozy ambience, warmly welcomed“

“Live, high Calibre Jazz 5 Days a week, great food, relaxed vibe“

“Amazing food and very friendly environment“

“Incredible food and service. Come here for a true Ethiopian experience!“

“Best Ethiopian in the city. The owner is incredibly friendly and more than happy to share his knowledge of the country and its cuisine.

If you’re unsure what to get or this is your first time, order the No.9 plate from the veg menu and then add a single meat dish from the regular menu. It’s more than enough for 2 people. The coffee is also excellent just remember to order it at the start so it has time to prepare.“

“The food was absolutely delicious! I ordered takeaway and everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and unique was tibis firifir especially amazing I finished it all! The portion size was great, and the delivery was prompt. Highly recommend this place will definitely order again. Thank you!“

“Beautiful food and wonderful service“

“Always clean, Healthy and best with its unique cultural taste and display of Ethiopia. I highly recommend to try the Vegetarian Platter, Shiro, and ofcourse their special Kitfo is one of the best in Town.“

“great delicious food and great service.Yes I will recommend this place“

“Excellent young lady serving us on a quiet Wednesday evening. The veg platter was good, the portions of food were just right, not too much, and according to my companion, the meat platter was good too. This place is very low key and feels authentic“

“Amazing food and very attentive service. We will definitely be back soon

Vegetarian options: They offer vegetarian dishes, all very flavourful

Parking: Right on the Danforth so it’s near subway stations / public transit stops just a short walk away“

“The only restaurant in town feels like home food making. 100% recommended Note : waiting time around 30 min because they cook everything fresh if you are in rush call them before you go they will make it ready for you either dine-in or takeout.“

“Just right and amazing . The vibe here is great. The place is not too extravagant nor subpar to the bar standards. Above all else, the price is reasonable. Ask for Sam Kate, she is just a great attender and employee. This lounge has a band playing on certain days and times. In addition, the establishment offers good deals on food and nourishment from their kitchen before 11pm . Try it out. Enjoy your time and leave happy.“

“Delicious food. Great staff! 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I’ve lived in Toronto over 25 years n tried many Ethiopian restaurants, this is definitely on the top.
Saba was amazing and recommend the perfect dishes for drinking ( kitfo) which is way better than any French tartar with rich beefy flavours but super fresh and clean.
And a dish with lamb and collard greens which was tender and flavourful.
This is my new go to spot for Ethiopian from now on.

“After hiking and photographing from west of High Park to Dundas Square (with a number of detours and stops along the way), I needed refreshment. The problem was: who is open at 10:50pm at night? Piassa Injera (ፒያሳ እንጀራ ቅመማ ቅመም እና ቁርስ ቤት) was.

It was a great relief to find the door open, and cool bottles of water in the fridge at that hour. I loved the late night atmosphere inside the shop. There were a number of people around a table near the back having a good time, talking, laughing. This was like the old country where my family is from.

The shopkeeper helped me with my Amharic language skills, and then I was off to complete my task of photographing the neighbourhoods of Parliament Street. አመሰግናለሁ (I got the pronunciation now).“

“Nice spot on the Danforth if you want a light lunch. There’s a small patio. Cafeteria style. We ordered a BLT and a grilled sandwich - black forest ham and Swiss cheese. They were both tasty but a little on the expensive side for simple sandwiches. The food was good so we’ll visit again and definitely recommend to others.“

“Service here is top notch! The servers are so sweet and attentive. Marta and Salam were great! Bonus: food tastes great and is super authentic! 100% would recommend if you’re looking for Ethiopian cuisine. P.S. Get the timatim fit-fit, trust me.“

“Great food and great service!“
