Ethiopian Village — Restaurant in Brisbane City

We went there on a Friday night for dinner, it was quiet with only one person at the tables and no staff in sight, we waited at the counter for a minute before the lady at the table eating and on their phone came over to serve us. We sat down with menu's (that we had to ask for), picked what we wanted off the menu, then re-approached the counter where the employee was again just sitting on her phone and eating. She approached, looked at my menu from over my shoulder then just walked out of the restaurant. I stood there alone for 2-3 minutes before retreating to my seat, after a couple more minutes she returned, and every time we asked for something be it alcoholic or non-alc. drinks, or food items off the menu she would say it's unavailable. This went for a few times before asking if we could have a minute to decide, but she lingered and looked annoyed, so we asked her to pick something for us. She chose a mixed 6 dish platter, but she couldn't tell us what was on it. The food we were solved involved a cold drumstick, and some very odd tasting foods, some bitter, some bland, none hot and some like it was out of a fridge. None tasted good, it's the first time I've ever had to leave some of a meal behind because we couldn't stomach it. This is my second go at Ethiopian food, last time I enjoyed it, but my first time at this restaurant, it will be my last. The atmosphere is low, but was exceedingly smoky so anyone with breathing issues should steer clear. So should anyone who values food and service. We had high expectations going off of previous reviews but I honestly can't chalk all of this up to an...

We found a deal on eatclub, and having never tried Ethiopian food before we thought it was worth a shot. The place is very colourful and the staff so friendly and relaxed. They helped us choose, and we decided to go with the meat and vege combo and another dish. When the food came out we were shocked at the size of the platter (huge) so generous! And not to mention delicious, I had eaten middle eastern food before where you eat with your hands/fingers and use the savoury crepe to pick it up, my partner did struggle at first but got the idea. The meat was so tender and tasty with a heap of different spices hitting all the right tastebuds. This place is good for small groups but it's also well set out for large groups. We are so glad we came and would love to go back! The price at normal price is so worth it, you won't walk out hungry!...

I've eaten in Ethiopian restaurants in many countries. This is a small, unassuming place in the back of a shopping arcade, and seems to be popular with local Ethiopians. The food was very tasty with the exception of the gomen (greens) which was made with spinach instead of the more typical colland greens, so was pasty and lacking in flavor. We ordered two servings of the Doro w'et, our favorite, but one serving came with NO meat, just sauce, and neither serving had a boiled egg as is usually served. On the plus side, the servings were the perfect size for our group. Cost is very reasonable for Ethiopian food in Brisbane. Rice is available in place of the wheat-based injera for the...
