Mietta's Review
Fekerte Tesfaye and her husband Sendaba opened this smart modern restaurant with its pleasant airy room in 2004 after many years producing her Ethiopian delicacies at the Bus Depot Markets held each Sunday in Kingston (where she still cooks). Her hot spicy dishes, with lots of vegetarian options, are even more popular in their new home. Exotic and excellent value.
