Enat kitchen Catering and Event and Home Meal Preap — Local services in Nunavut

My two-star rating is certainly a stand-out amongst the sea of fives.

Will start off with saying that this was my first time trying Ethiopian food, and perhaps it just wasn't my style. I have no baseline. However, neither my boyfriend and I liked the food. The meats were pretty good and flavorful with a bit of a spicy kick (lamb, beef... watch out for bones). The vegetables were more lackluster except the beans were okay. Regardless, pairing it with the injira made for an awkward taste. It's a bit of a sour soft bread, and the taste is pretty off-putting with anything. Probably an acquired taste.

You will be full. The portions are big. $50 for two people, but we would have had more than enough if we ordered the plate for one. We both came hungry but the food was enough to make us lose our appetite. Simply was not our thing.

The Tusker beer is a bit sweet, pretty ok. I would say pass, especially given the price... unless you simply want to try it for the sake of trying an African (Kenyan) beer.

Other aspects - very hospitable staff, felt like you were being welcomed into their home. No complaints on that side - in fact, one of the best service experiences I've had, Enat was fantastic. To be fair, we were the only diners throughout our short stay here... so service was very fast and we were nicely attended to.

Atmosphere - sat in a cozy booth at the back. Certainly doesn't have a clean or "upscale" look, but I suppose that's consistent with the "authenticity" of dining in a family-run place like this. Our light right above our table kept flickering on and off. No points docked for that,...

I had the opportunity to visit this restaurant yesterday with a friend, and we were both game to try something different. Neither of us had tried Ethiopian food before, so we found this place which was only a few blocks away from where we were coming from, so we decided to check this out.

The restaurant was pretty quiet when we came in. The owner greeted us in a really friendly manner, and answered questions about what was on the menu and what was offered. We decided to order the Beef Sambusa as an appetizer, and the Meat and Vegetarian Platter for 2 people, with some white wine for drinks.

The service was prompt and friendly, and the food was amazing! The sambusa was quite similar to Indian samosas, with rich flavours, and the platter was amazing, with a rich variety of different foods (I especially the kale dish and the split-pea dish). It was messy to eat for us, since it was the first time we used the injera (the Ethiopian flatbread used to scoop up the food, kind of like pita bread, naan or tortilla), but it was so delicious!

I definitely recommend this place to anyone interested in Ethiopian cuisine, or great...

I've eaten (and cooked) Ethiopian food for over twenty-five years. I ate here the first time on a Tuesday night. The restaurant has a very pleasant ambiance.

I had the Vegetarian Platter. It arrived with no gomen (collard greens) and I asked our server if gomen wasn't available today and she said she didn't think so. About fifteen minutes later, she came by with a dish of freshly-made gomen, tender-crisp and delicious. All of the vegetarian dishes were just right except for the misir alicha (brown lentils) which were inedible due to the amount of salt used (which really did taste like an accident). The shiro, which is my favourite, was excellent.

It was my friend's birthday and the server took note of this (as my friend was opening her gift at the table) and after our meal, while we were talking, she brought out a slice of baklava (very syrupy and delicious) for my friend on a plate decorated cutely with a couple of birthday candles stuck in a tea light candle, and two drink umbrellas.

I will definitely...
