Wazema Ethiopian Restaurant

Favourite Ethiopian food in this area! I always get takeout and its on point

Delicious Ethiopian food and great service.

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!

Came here on a Friday after work. Was quite empty so we were seated right away. For 2 people we ordered a Wazema platter for one and the cha cha tibs. Food looks very appetizing IMO. The platter comes with a lot of different veggies and 2 types of meat. The veggies were great, really enjoyed the different curried lentils and cabbage. The meats were okay too didn’t enjoy it as much but still good. The cha cha tibs was lamb I believe with some onions and peppers that came on a sizzling plate that was poured onto our wazema platter which was all on a big piece of injera. Everything came with a bunch of extra injera. The cha cha tibs I was a little disappointed in and wouldn’t get again. Not much flavor to the meat, and it was kind of hard and chewy. This was also $25 compared to the platter which was $22. If I was to come back I would just get the platter again as it was filling and had a variety of good flavors. Wait time was still about 15-20 minutes when the restaurant was quite empty.

I hate that

Wazema is one of my favorite places for Ethipian food on the Danforth. Great service. I always go for the Wazema platter- my partner and I got ambitious ordering a plate ‘for 3’ (we could have definitely just done ‘for 2’) but it was delicious nontheless. We went on a weekday evening but it’s also a fun spot to hangout come night time, it has a club-type vibe with live music on some nights. The reason I gave 4/5 for atmosphere is the restaurant is quite dim, and when I was there, there was some sort of smoke in the air, as though there was heavy incense burning (it eventually dissipated). This didn’t take away from the overall experience.

Doro Wot? More Like Doro What in the World Happened Here?
I just ordered the classic Doro Wot on UberEats. Or at least, that’s what they claimed it was. What arrived at my house, however, was so confused about its identity that I had to double-check whether I’d ordered from an Ethiopian restaurant or some experimental kitchen playing dice with recipes.

Let’s start with the Kulet. More like Chopped Onion Chronicles. It was a chunky, chaotic mess of half-cooked onions that seemed to be in open rebellion against caramelization. And the chicken? Oh, the chicken. Someone clearly thought, “Bones? Authenticity? Nah, who needs those?” The result was a scattering of boneless chicken fragments that felt more like a sad garnish than the centerpiece of the dish. For a brief, confusing moment, I wondered if I’d accidentally ordered Tibs. But honestly, even Tibs would’ve staged a walkout over being compared to this.

This dish felt like it started as a beef stew, had a midlife crisis, and then decided, “Eh, let’s throw in some chicken and really confuse everyone!” If chickens could talk, they would’ve unionized, boycotted this restaurant, and sued for emotional damages by now.

So here’s my advice: DO NOT try the Doro Wot from this place unless you’re actively seeking disappointment. This isn’t just bad Ethiopian food, it’s an insult to chickens everywhere and a betrayal of cultural pride.

– Only because I wasn’t able to give 0.

The food here is fantastic! The beef wat stew tasted so good and was so flavourful! Big portion was given to us when we visited.

The atmosphere was so cozy. I was vibing with the jazz pop music that was playing here.

The servers here were so nice especially Eden, she was very helpful!
