I have to laugh about some of the reviews here that say "it's not that exotic" or "not that special".
Not every cuisine from a country further south or east of europe has to be a firework of spices and heat.
Instead of making assumptions on how ethiopean food "should" taste, be open about it, try it, ask questions, maybe even read up on other cultures and their produce once in a while?
The prices are absolutely fair as well, especially if you bare in mind the cooking process.
We had a shared vegetarian platters for three (€31,90) tried several of the dju dju beers and a honey wine. The meal is served on the ethiopean fermented sourdough "pancakes" injera.
_The service was welcoming, quick u0026 attentive but in a relaxed way. When I asked details about the food we had, he charmingly explained it to us. Even though we were quite full after the meal we got some extra sauce, which we savoured to the last bit.
_the food itself was lovely too. One thing I didn't rave about was the red beet but the rest of the selection was delicious and rather filling. Were talking healthy legume proteins, savoury sauces and creamy cabbage that was balanced by the acidity of the injera.
_the drinks were cold and good. I preferred the pineapple djudju over the mango one or the honey wine.
Pro tip:
Leave some of the injera that is not covered with sauce till the end, so you can scoop up the soggier parts with it to finish your plate and keep your finger clean.
Thank you langano!
