    Finally got to try Ethiopian House in February. It was an experience right as you walk in with the strong fragrance of incense and Ethiopian artwork all over the walls of this house converted into a restaurant.

    Our server, who might be the owner based on the business card I saw, was helpful and calming when he advised the coffee and popcorn was something that required time to enjoy after a meal.

    My Ethiopian coworker has frequented this spot over the years and my visit confirmed it's authenticity. I definitely recommend it!

    Toronto....

    Had to wait a bit in line as the place was busy.
    Good sign.
    The guy behind us in line had returned for the second night in a row.
    Excellent sign!
    Wife's first time at Ethiopian.
    Excited!

    We ordered the Vegetarian mix and the Meat mix. Not a tremendous amount of food but certainly filling.
    The chunky meat dish was excellent and the rest of the dishes were just ok.
    The injera (bread) was nice.

    It was good. It was average.
    Nice service. Cute place.

    I would go back but I'm not going to.

    This is a busy little place which is worth checking out!  The food was an adventure and the service was good. My husband ordered the meat tasting plate and I ordered the vegetarian one. These were fantastic! we also ordered the stuffed jalapenos. They were a bit too spicy for us, but we were warned they were spicy!

    We will be coming back

    Recommend this restaurant in area if you like Ethiopian food. I found owner pretty passionate about his food, which is good thing. We tried Veggie platter and Doro watt, both were just great. Washrooms and carpet/decor can be improved as feedback.

    Having tried numerous Ethiopian restaurants, I'd say that this is one of my favourites. The place is a converted townhouse on a quiet street, and the interior decoration gave a really nice ambience. Food selection was typical of any other Ethiopian restaurant, but more tasty, not as spicy, and just the right portion. The Vegetarian Platter was the higlight - Lentils, Chickpeas, Split Peas, Collard Greens, Vegetables Stews.

    For coffee drinkers, you can also order a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony experience.
