The two women who served us were wonderful and the food was delicious! We ordered the shareable meat sample plate and one other dish between four people and it was plenty of food. Cheap beers made the experience that much better. Will definitely return!

Very tasty dishes. Kind staff that help us with all the doubts. Traditional deco of the restaurant. Traditional way to have a meal. Great experience!

Vert flavourful sauce (I had the doro wot). Slightly spicy sauce with a chicken leg and an egg. The bread was a little too much compared to the amount of sauce but the flavours were great and the owner was nice and welcoming. Would come again here!

Not my first time tasting Ethiopian food but this time at Little Ethiopia is truly enjoyable, especially dining outside on the truly under the city night sky. The restaurant is quite small and can fit maximum of 20+ people. We've booked out the whole restaurant and the owner suggested that we do a chicken, a beef and two veggie (one is chickpeas and one is lentil) dishes with the traditional bread to share amongst the group. The dishes were well picked and all flavourful and spicy. My favourite is the beef one. The also put extra chilli powder as their pepper and salt on the sides. I took them and it enhances the dishes, just more spicy though. Had their traditional coffee too. Just a heads up that you will be eating the traditional way, with your hands. Service is casual and sometimes shy, but attentive.

What a pleasant surprise this little restaurant gave us. The service is great and the meals were wonderful. Can't hurt to give it a try. I suspect you will be very pleased with the results as my wife and I were.

Just the bee's knees. Gracious service and tremendously tasty cuisine. It's one of our best-kept secrets.
