This came as a platter for two at $42 - choice of 3 dishes. I cant remember the names but the platter came with: a beef curry like dish in a berbere spice mix base, a lamb with imported native spinach, and a chunky mixed vegetable dish cooked in very mild curry spice.
Overall the meat dishes were tasty, the beef had that berbere flavour with a close resemblance to an Indian curry, the lamb like a lamb palaak curry. The vegetable dish was quite bland though balanced the meat dishes. All dishes were served with this large sour pancake like bread, the sourness which seemed to dampen the flavours. The servings were dissappointingly small for such rustic fare and for the price we paid. but we did get extra pancake.
There was an African lady roasting coffee beans with a small fire and making popcorn in the restaurant. Though it was a good scene setter placing you in a home hut with roasting while eating, the lack of ventilation meant the smoke became unwanted and overwhelming.
Overall a good tasty first experience with helpful waiter but poor value for money even with the knowledge of supporting the refugees.
