Editorial Review

This cozy and colourful café—with its saffron walls and violet tablecloths—serves a small but interesting selection of traditional Ethiopian food. Diners choose from six main dishes for lunch and dinner, as in a vegetarian plate with split peas, lentils, cabbage and collard greens, and tibs, a mixture of sautéed beef and lamb with onions, green peppers and tomatoes. A handful of Ethiopian breakfast dishes is also available, such as qinchi, a traditional whole grain cereal. Unlicensed. Mains $8–$12.
