This restaurant took me off guard (1) because I have been in the area so many times and never knew it existed and (2) because I really enjoyed the food. At first, I was oddly worried once the restaurant owner locked the door behind us, but then soon realized that there were only two workers on staff that night. This worry quickly turned into humor and fascination as I noticed the number of people who came to the restaurant window thoroughly confused at the locked front door before closing. I started relaxing a bit because why would that many people be wanting to come in if the food was that bad?
I found the food very tasty, albeit somewhat unusual, and I appreciated the patient workers as they took the time to explain the contents of our food.
The avocado salad was delicious and something that I am actually familiar with because I have made the same dish on occasion (however, I'll admit, without the "bread"). I didn't realize this kind of dish was Ethiopian and was pleasantly surprised...even if my wallet took a hit. The main meal came and I didn't really wait for the owner to explain what we were eating, but again I was pleasantly surprised. The various piles of food mush were very tasty and some were even recognizable. After I ate, I found out what I had eaten and realized that some I had identified on my own. The coffee had a uniquely earthy flavor that was very flavorful and at the same time very strong.
All in all, I found this trip a fun and enjoyable experience and I would definitely go to that restaurant again.
