Staff were friendly on arrival and throughout our meal, food was presented in a traditional way. It was full of lovely flavours and very filling . We will be returning again. 🙂
Very tasty food, a unique experience for your taste buds.
We waited nearly 20 mins for the waitress to take our order - even for drinks.
Good value for money.
Ambiance: 7 / 10 The
girls were going to a show at the Theby Theatre which started at 7pm, we needed
early sustenance and therefore, the place was empty. Never mind, even so the
warmth is inviting and enveloping. The Ethiopian way of eating with your hands
makes for honest communal dining as well. Don’t be bashful in asking about the
local dining protocol, they take great pride in their culture. (By the way the
show was remarkably unremarkable).
Winelist: 3 / 10 Oh
dear!! Take your own (BYO) unless you like genuine African beer. They have some
fascinating African wines that I was keen to try (because I’ve been in the fine
wine and food industries for about 40 years and love to try new) but, my
friends were not. I’ll try one next time with ‘him, partner in life’. (I’ve
given an extra point for the authentic African products though).
Service: 8.5 / 10 Casual,
relaxed, welcoming, genuine, all of which put all of us at ease and in the
mood, so to speak. The gentleman who greeted and seated us explained the
unfamiliar food with enthusiasm, glee and patience. Now for our waitress, this
stunningly beautiful, statuesque African girl could easily be on the catwalks
of Milan and she doesn’t know it; and has an equally beautiful personality. The
overall result is that one feels completely at ease in this restaurant.
Cuisine: 6.5 / 10
I'm the harshest on this section as you would know if you’ve read my
previous review/s, a 6.5 is up there. There are flavours and textures here that
you might not be used to however, they are deeply complex and intriguing, so
much so that you crave for the next sensation. It really was a remarkable experience.
Value for what you get: 8 / 10 It's cheap, there’s lots of it and it’s got wondrous
flavours.
The deal maker or breaker; would I go back? I already have.
