Must-go restaurant in Ballarat. I’ve never had Ethiopian food but if all Ethiopian food is like this then I’m going to try a lot more! Had the selection for 2 people and was absolutely delicious. The beef and chicken stews and lentil dishes were highlights for us. Owner was a complete powerhouse - I think he was doing front of house and cooking. Everything other than the bread is gluten free, which was fantastic as a coeliac. Highly recommend!!!

We had a lovely evening here and appreciated the good knowledge of gluten free requirements for coeliac (everything is gluten free apart from the injera flat bread which was easily swapped for rice). The food was delicious and it was a treat enjoying a wide variety of dishes shared amongst just two of us. We were so full and happy, but very glad we took home Persian love cake for dessert later as it was divine. Thank you. Note: remember to bring cash or visit the ATM around the corner as no card facilities.
