I’ve been to a handful of Ethiopian restaurants in Toronto and this is among the best. I confirmed the vegetarian platter is also vegan.
Taste is very deliciously authentic!

I've been coming here for years and food still as good as 15 years ago. Delicious, affordable, good service.
The veggie platter is a must ?

Don't recommend for takeout. Platters are just thrown together into one box so all the dishes just kinda blend together. Meat was bony. Won't be ordering again when there are others nearby that do much better takeout service

For first timers to this cuisine, we recommend you come with an open mind, a dining companion and a clean pair of hands. The food served here is colourful, nutritious, and ‘fun to play with’ because everything is typically eaten with bare hands.
As we had experienced, the food here was best enjoyed when shared with others because as you consumed each portion of food, your hands move closer to the centre of the plate which brought you closer to your dining companion.
For us, my wife and I ordered the signature Lalibela platter for two which came on a large circular plate. The symmetry in the presentation was particularly memorable. The vegetables, curries and lamb all rest atop a napkin-like bread known as injera. We appreciated the extra servings of injera to the side as the spongy pancake bread really soaked up the various curry sauces and juices from the lamb and beetroots. Those extra servings of injera ensured we ‘cleaned up’ the plate and finished everything.
The sizeable portion of food relative to what we paid for made it incredibly good value for money. If you are after something a bit different from your usual, then this is definitely worth a go.

Charming little place close to Ossington station. Our server was friendly and helpful and didn’t make us feel silly for not knowing much about Ethiopian food. The vegetarian platter for two was a tasty and reasonably-priced vegan option. It was the perfect amount for two people. We plan to return and look forward to trying the coffee ceremony next time.
Vegetarian options: Recommend the vegetarian platter for 1 or 2

The customer service could be better. We struggled to get glasses of water! Staff members should listen to orders carefully and always double-check that they bring the right order to customers.
Vegetarian options: Need to be cooked well

My takeout was horrible.Uncooked, lentils, potatoes.i mean if you don’t have the dish or still need to cook, there’s no need to rush to pack and serve to the customer. You’re lucky I live far, I would bring it right back to your counter. All you need to do is inform your customers dishes are not ready. The staff are not even greeting, why because I’m Ethiopian. I don’t deserve the same respect and treatments like any other citizens that you serve. It’s very shameful and disappointing to see from your own people
