I'm shocked at the reviews this place has. I had very high expectations, so imagine my surprise when I got in the restaurant, said "hello" TWICE and no one moved or even looked at me, forget about answering me! I could see one or two people in the kitchen, and one person next to the counter, just a few metres away from me, and THEY DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT ME after I opened the door and said hello? I felt like I was in a parallel universe or was non-existant. Completely weird experience

It's a rather small restaurant which helps create a cozy atmosphere. Service was extremly friendly and very attentive (injera never got empty). The wine selection is pretty limited but they serve all kinds of cocktails and ethiopian beer. The mixed vegetarian platter was tasty - the way they fix their potatoes knocked me off my feet. If a chef is capable of preparing a most basic vegetable like that one knows there is great potential.

Great restaurant! The owners are very kind and the food was delicious. The portions are large, so great if you have a big appetite. Tasty vegetarian options.

Some of the tastiest food to be had in the 20th arrondissement. Wonderful meals with lots of options for all dietary requirements, lovely staff and amazing value. We come back again and again!

Perhaps my most bizarre restaurant experience ever. I'd come here as someone had marked it as having vegan options. It has one vegan option (you might as well mark McDonalds as a vegan restaurant). It was a warm evening and with no AC it was a little uncomfortable but the manager seemed nice. I ordered the vegan option. The food came and I tucked in. It was fine. I found the base a bit lemony but have no idea if that's normal. However, a third of the way in I saw a small fly on the food. In my attempts to get rid of it I squished it (didn't mean to actually kill it). I then put it and the surrounding food in a torn piece of the napkin. I considered complaining but thought the fly probably landed on the food just before I saw it so carried on (though with less appetite). When the manager asked me later if I was enjoying the food I felt obliged to mention the fly. This is where the weirdness began. He told his wife (the chef) who then demanded to see evidence of the fly. I explained it was small but somewhere within the rolled up piece of napkin and at this point she started poking through the mushed up napkin food on my table, still demanding to see the evidence (though I had not actually complained or intimated I would not pay). The manager and his wife continued to imply that the fly did not exist. When I said I'd noticed another fly flying around the manager demanded to know where this fly was too. I found myself in the awkward situation of having to scan my environs for the small fly I had seen before. Eventually they left me to finish my meal. I was surprised they didn't offer any kind of discount and being a polite Brit I even left a tip (I later discovered tipping isn't the norm in Paris). I had stomach issues the next day. Although I can't be sure it was the food here I certainly wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Especially vegans.
