Have only paused there mid trip for a very refreshing Ethiopien Beer (starts with W,, 7$ a stubbie !! ) introduced to me bylovely waitress ..Maria ?.. ( I just met a girl named Maaaarrriaaa..!..those from back in the day will remeber the tune ) whose actually from San Jose Costa Rica !!!! (will migrate/seek refuge there if much more shenanigans fron SChMO and Potato Head- geddit ??) Anyway..so its a great place to "practicar el ol'(e) espanol " if Marai is on, otherwise very pleasnt outside to check everyone out. Food smells great, looks like reasonable price. Theylook live they hve Comedy nights and a 'coffee ceremony'...someone said coffeee came from Ethiopia. There you go. All I know is that Bob Marley ( who I saw (actually not much, very smokey in the Hordern Pavilllion) in 79 (?) in Sydney followed a guy from there. Jazz music...Will def. be back.

I’ve never experienced this before and it was awesome! The friendly helpful service, the unique and delicious food and the jazz music ambiance; all in all I can highly recommend Jambo. We only ordered 2 meals and we were too full to eat it all. My friend and I had a 5 star experience.

I throughly enjoyed the vegetarian taster main. Deliciously sour injera. Great stews! When I went the stews were served warm/cold... not sure if this is the usual style but it was still great! Reasonable price at $15 as of Oct 2019.

Unpleasant Experience at your restaurant *

Yesterday I visited for Dinner . Unfortunately, this visit turned out to be highly disappointing.

Food Poisoning:

After consuming the meal, I began experiencing unusual symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever,

Food poisoning occurs due to the consumption of contaminated food or beverages, leading to symptoms like stomach upset, diarrhea, and vomiting. These symptoms typically begin within hours or days after eating the contaminated food. Most individuals experience mild symptoms and recover without treatment.

Hygiene Concerns:

While dining, I observed rats moving freely inside the restaurant, raising serious concerns about the establishment's hygiene standards. The presence of rodents indicates a lack of cleanliness and proper sanitation, which are essential for ensuring food safety and customer health.

Service Quality:

Additionally, the service was exceptionally poor. Orders were delayed without justification, and the staff appeared unprofessional and unhelpful, further detracting from the overall dining experience.

Recommendations:

Given these issues, I strongly advise caution when considering a visit to this restaurant. It is crucial for dining establishments to adhere to strict hygiene standards and provide quality service to ensure customer safety and...

Absolutely bloody phenomonal.

They catered for my birthday on a day they were meant to be closed. The owner Able is kind funny and welcoming. The food is absolutely to die for and explodes with flavour. The eating experience is completely different to anything I've ever experienced in my life. The burning coffee incense makes for an enjoyable dining experience. I demand anyone reading to experience Jambo for themselves, I certainly will be returning time and time again. Truely a 10/10.

Big thanks to Abel and his staff for their accommodating and friendly attitude on my birthday, it made for a spectacular...
