Myself and my friends visited here this week and man it’s the worst place we have ever been! I don’t wanna sound rude at all but we were not happy at all with the service and the food that we got. Our server is actually the worst server! First she gave us the wrong order and when we told her about it, oh boy she wasn’t nice at all! Instead of apologizing about it she actually raised her voice to my friend and our second set of order came almost half an hour and never checked in on us. And our bill is expensive as well considering the server didn’t actually gave us the correct food that we ordered. We are NEVER coming back to this place at all. If I could give zero review for this place I would. I go out a couple of times a week on 17th ave and this place is by far the worst place I have ever been. I’m quite surprised about the 4.6 reviews of this place. I’m just not happy and satisfied at all with the service and the food. My friends who are actually from Ethiopia felt embarrassed about this place because we expect that we will have a wonderful time here but it was totally an opposite experience very embarrassing actually and I can’t stress...

Edited to update as I frequently eat here now and get takeout: as an Ethiopian, I can confidently say this place is #1 in Calgary for authentic, amazing tasting, hygenic (only place in Calgary that hasn’t left me with a stomach ache😅), and high quality made Ethiopian food with fresh tasting ingredients. Truly feels like the quality of Ethiopian food you could get back home. They’re kind, and make you feel at home. As a vegetarian, have loved all the things I’ve had here (esp. the vegetarian firifr and shiro tegabino), and so have my friends that tried the meat dishes.

My only suggestion is please hire either an extra cook and/or extra waitress as I rarely see more than 1 waitress there at a time, despite it being busy (and the waitresses seem to already be working fast and non-stop). It takes way too long for food to come out when it’s busy (upwards of 45mins) - so ideal to have extra workers which would attract more diners. But this is a common issue for all Ethiopian restaurants. Otherwise,...
