I got a huge variety of containers from Jambo (including some that I'm sure I didn't order). Most were injera so it wasn't great value but was still large amounts of food. Good lamb and chicken, not too spicy but with unique spicing. Worth a look and probably better value than Alem.

If there’s a cuisine that should be in your regular dining repertoire that probably isn’t, it’s Ethiopian. Ever since discovering Blacktown’s cluster of Ethiopian restaurants, I’ve been a confirmed fan of eating wot (onion-based stews) over stretchy, sour injera (bubbly, crepe-like bread). Along with Alem’s House, who have brought a vegetarian (vegan) rendition of the cuisine to Camperdown, Jambo Jambo Africa offers you an atmospheric introduction to Ethiopian food, without the need to leave the Inner West.

HUNGRY SUMMARY - Great place to get a taste of what Ethiopian food is like.
FOOD - Ordered the combination meal which included 1) Mixed Entree w/chapati and sambusa and 2) Mains: Doro Wot, Zilzil Tibs and Shiro Wot and 3) Lemon & Chocolate Ice Cream. Mains served with injera bread (which tastes sour on its own, but definitely a tasty and unique bread)
The standout for me was the Shiro Wot (the vegetarian dish), as it was light and creamy. I would also recommend trying the famed Doro Wot, but people who can't take spice, be wary!
PRICE - $75 for 2, good price considering the amount of food we got.
EXPERIENCE - Service was great, they even gave us an extra helping of chicken and they offer injera bread refills. I think the uniqueness of eating with injera bread as the 'utensil' was what stood out.
