"I happened upon this restaurant based purely on the reviews and its close proximity to the nearby Marriot. Usually I would go for a safe pizza option but as there is nothing nearby (that I've already tried or dismissed) I was just browsing based on location. Having never tasted Ethiopian food this was a bit of a punt!Its location is away off the main roads with nothing else nearby - inside it's almost like a converted front room - the sounds and smells from the kitchen are just behind a door (some extraction would be useful as the onions were making me cry!) I was a little apprehensive even as I took a look at the menu outside - I roughly translated a lamb/mutton dish so figured it was worth a try. I walked in to it empty but was quickly greeted by a lady who offered up a table for one.I went for the spiced lamb, I think, based on my crude online translations. Having read other reviews I was expecting a bit of a wait (and to eat with hands although I was offered cutlery) but the dish came out reasonably quickly seeing as I was the only one there at the time. They didn't have Orangina so I had to make do with an orange juice. The dish itself looked a bit thin on the ground with the meat in a small dish with a small portion of lentils and salad all on a thin pancake - there was also a rolled up pancake as a side. I needn't have worried, all together it was more than enough although I really liked the lentils so could have had another portion. With no reference to go by I did like the combination - the lamb was fried with spices and not chewy, the pancakes had lemon on them I think which made them less plain. The salad was just lettuce, tomato and red onion and went with the meat nicely. All demolished pretty quickly - the meat wasn't too hot but had good flavour.It became busier shortly after I'd finished but I can see where the reviews about slow service come from - it seems there are just a couple of people doing everything- it could well be someone's 'home restaurant'. The price of the dish also seemed a little steep for what it was, tasty as it may have been.Definitely off the tourist trail and one to try, but don't expect anything quickly - this one could be a slow burner at busy times. The choice was a bit of a curveball for me but I can say I've tried Ethiopian food now. A bit too pricey (should have tried the 30% off via the fork which may have balanced things up) but as a new experience worthba visit."
