ETHIOPIAN HOUSE Lives Up To The Rumors

Ethiopian House (Africa/Ethiopian)

4 Irwin Ave (Yonge and Wellesley)
416-923-5438

Located away from the glamour of Yonge Street, Ethiopian House still manages to attract a fair share of people to its humble establishment, mostly due to word-of-mouth. The kitchen serves up generous portions that one would not expect from the dated look of its decor. Gored-Gored includes chucks of tender beef that are just perfectly spiced. Aib (cottage cheese) and collard greens are blend in comparison but work well to balance and take away the spiciness. Moist and spongy injera (bread) add zest to many dishes. Coffee service is a must for first-timers. Menu has a large section devoted to vegetarians. Service is friendly but not intrusive.
