“Beautiful food and wonderful service“

“Love this place. The owner is very respectable and kind man. We went again few days ago, Food is still very good as always but I expect it to be more spicy. Wasn't spicy at all. it is Still my favourite Ethiopian restaurant in town. I really like the owner. He's a great person. For sure try their coffee.“

“This was my first time trying this type of food, and I will start off by saying that I will be going back here as much as possible! The food was absolutely delicious.Everyone who was working there was extremely kind and welcoming to my friend and myself. We each tried a bit of everything on the menu, and we had no complaints at all. We were amazed at how good it was. The chef even came out to say hi to us as we were leaving, which we found to be very nice! We were also shocked at the low prices for such high-quality fresh and home-cooked food. Thank you to everyone at Le Plato, we will be back!“

“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 am from the Rio Grande Valley Texas and generally try to go to an Ethiopian restaurant when visiting big cities. I thought the food was very tasty. I got the meat plate. The ambiance was small and cozy, giving me the feel of someone's home. The owner was very nice and made sure I was comfortable and she talked with me as if I was visiting her home. I would definitely try this place when you go to Toronto. Onuwa“

“amazing place it's good to try“

“Great food and great service!“

“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.“
