Took forever but was worth it!

Food was amazing! Everything in the veggie menu is vegan, portions are humongous (I love Ethiopian food and can eat a lot, but had to take some home) and dishes very tasty. Great injeera. However, it took almost an hour to cook our food (to be fair, there was 6 of us).
I would definitely go there again!

Wonderful!

The owner was so friendly and the food was delicious. He helped us know exactly how much food we’d need and it was perfect. We had the vegetarian platter and one extra dish (I can’t remember the name) and it was a perfect amount of food.

Pros: Friendly, Delicious

You have to try their vegan platter with injera!

I've tried a few Ethiopian restaurants but this one serves the best vegan platter so far! I prefer to get mine with injera (flatbread/pancake) but they also have rice as an option. It takes about 20min for them to prepare food but it's worth the wait!

Pros: Vegan platter, Portion size/plenty of injera

Cons: Blend atmosphere/decor, Wait time

Delicious meal in a friendly environment

Ate here with an omni friend for dinner and we both got the vegetarian platter, with a glass of wine and tip came to $21. All vegan items on the vegetarian menu. Absolutely delicious and impossible to finish it all. The owner proudly showed off his photo of Stephen Hawking eating at the café. A must go if you are in the Kitchener area!

Pros: Separate vegetarian menu, Friendly staff, Just off King St.

Cons: Small, could get noisy

Delicious!

Simple hole-in-the-wall. Their vegan platter on injeera is delicious and can be made gluten-free if you give them a day's notice. Otherwise they serve it without the injeera.

Pros: Vegan platter, can be made gluten-free

Cons: Service can be slow
