Or if you wish you can try the Feed Me option – we will ask about food preferences and/or allergies and then order a range of somosa, breads and mains to maximise your exposure to the flavours! You all share the food and we explain the dishes as they arrive. This is also known as the “No Think” Option!

    I absolutely *love* this restaurant; the food and service is amazing and I always enjoy having a brief chat with the owners at the end of the meal. Best Ethiopian ever, I wish I could learn to cook...

    Some of the loveliest staff I have ever met. Helpful and obliging. The food was unique and enticing, I've told everyone to go there!

      We very much enjoyed the opportunity to experience the tasting plate, which was a welcome alternative for 2 people to the much larger banquet on offer. Staff were very helpful, friendly and discrete. Pleased to see no corkage cost - this is rare in Canberra. A nice evening out and something a bit different.   (See my reviews (4) - July, 2008)
