Hi,
I saw your food and had instant order envy.
I wanted the Kitfo, though I went with the meat sampler to please my friend. I was prepared to order more, then changed my mind. I was very tired and really wanted some sleep. Lingering for more food wasn't in the cards.
We did share a baklava, which was dripping in a honey syrup. I happen not to favor this style, I like it drier, though my friend enjoyed it.
I am also not quite certain about how to order here. At Tesfa around the block, I have ordered a meat and a vegetable. When the tray arrived, there were other unexpected items in the mix. I liked this arrangement, because I didn't have to feel my way for a complete meal.
What this place desperately needs is exterior signage. I roughly knew the address, then supposed I would recognize the name as I drove by. Even if does have signage, the young bushy tree in front will likely block it. The naked butcher case with a reserved table in front did not exactly suggest open for business. I was wondering if this was all there was to this place. Once you walk past the entrance, there is a dark, moody restaurant and bar in the rear.
My friend is long time in the food industry kept remarking how clean this restaurant was.
For a first visit, it was pleasant, though I wished I had ordered what you did.
Regards,
