Review from Gord M.

It's worth the wait.
Seriously. If you're in a hurry, go somewhere else, but if you're looking to have a chill time with some friends, some killer food, then come here, sit back and relax.
Right out of the gate, order the coffee service for the end of the meal. It's a very cool way to end the meal. Who knew that popcorn and freshly roasted grounds were a match made in heaven?
After that, be creative and communal; it's the best part of eating here. The four of us ordered 5-7 seven "dishes" with our injera and they ranged from very good to excellent, though I was most impressed with the veggies dishes. So flavourful and so different.
Dinner for four was in the range of "they must have given us the bill for that table of two". Fab. -
Review from Jennifer M.

After this weeks UYE at Nazareth, which I could not attend. I have been dreaming of Ethiopian fare. Fast forward to Friday and I am begging the SO to take me to Ethiopian.
Unlike most Ethiopian restaurants, the food took a very reasonable 25 min to arrive at our table, and the server was checking on us often. We split a beef tibs (for him) and a Veggie platter for me.
The food was just as good as last time with a WIDE variety of currys. Seriously we had at least 10 different tastes. We were stuffed silly with food left to spare.
Dinner for two with a beer, under $35 with tip.
Our favorite in the east end (Danforth and Greenwood) options.Listed in: Ethiopian Wat Wat.

I have been slowly eating my way through the east end ethiopian stretch, forming opinions as I go.… Read more »

We live just walking distance to this restaurant and have on past occasions only got take-out. Eating in is a better experience. It was very busy Thursday night and they could have had one more server. Service was a bit scattered and slow. It was ok with us since we were catching up with another couple. Our friend tried to order a bottle of wine, but they said one was already open (masi) and that he could only have a glass. Didn't get the logic in this considering he ordered two more glasses and they had to open another bottle, cost us more..oh well...
On to the food. The order was.
Beef Tibs
Lamb Stew
Spicy Chicken
& the full Vegetarian Platter
Rice
Injera
When the food arrives it always looks like there isn't enough, portion control is heeded. The spices are fantastic and not to hot. The vegertarian dishes are great. I still have to wrap my head around the Injera Bread, I don't really like that bloated pancakee mushy feel. Abraham who was working the bar said they do have a bread more consistent with Naan will get that next time. Can't give you total since friends picked up tab but I would say food was about $60....booze that's another story. -

Who knew there was a neighbourhood in Toronto called "Little Ethiopia"? Not this girl. Well, if you head over to Danforth/Greenwood you'll come across it - a smattering of Ethiopian restaurants that will give Nazareth, Ethiopia House and M&B Yummy a run for their money. If you didn't also know, at last count there were over 11,000 Ethiopians living in Toronto.
The food is dirt cheap. Like, a ridiculous amount of food that you can scarcely finish between two people for $13. This particular Ethiopian restaurant isn't strictly vegetarian (like M&B Yummy) but they do have a vegetarian platter with about ten items on it (six menu items plus whatever extra stuff they have kicking around in the kitchen that particular night) for $13 with ample servings of injera. Tonight we feasted on shiro wot (chickpea), missir wot (red lentils), cabbage stew, potatoes, collard greens, tomato salad with fresh ginger dressing and four other lentil concoctions.
The decor is pure Club Med, and so is the kickass music that soundtracked our meal. There are straw, hut-like coverings for each hourglass-shaped table, and the lighting is unusual (all of the lightbulbs are red). There's a lot of palm tree art -- apparently there are palm trees in Ethiopia? And the music...oh man. I felt like I was at a Hawaiian lagoon.Listed in: Cheap Toronto Eats, Ethiopian Feasts

Hidden in the east end of the Danforth, who knew there would be a little Ethiopian community?
The decor is definitely interesting. Although, the outside has lots of lights as decoration, the inside is kind of dark. The red lighting and orange menu makes it hard to read.
The food is not bad. Although they tell you that the vegetarian platter is only for one person - this platter is definitely made for sharing! -

Ok, my first ethiopian safari on the Danforth. Good food, vegeterian meals great, meat good. Unusual tastes that make you think of Africa, great beer from their country. I personally had one problem that spoilt the party a bit, this is just me but I could not reconcile with the bread sorry. It was cold, looked like a thin very big Porto mushroom. It was goowy and broke easily when in touch with food. My following analogy is purely an analogy no disrespect meant. To me it felt like those gels of shoe in-soles sold at Shoppers, the plastic packaging has a hole and you can feel the gel, in this case the wavy track type.
Good place worth checking out.....
