AI Summary

Owner-run Footscray favourite serving generous Ethiopian sharing plates on injera.

Small, warm, family-run dining room with a cosy (if slightly dark) interior; relaxed and unpretentious, built around big shared platters eaten by hand.

BYO wine, combo platters served on a giant injera 'pancake' for sharing, and an owner who often runs the floor and kitchen solo even for large bookings.

Praised by first-time Ethiopian diners and reviewers who've tried it elsewhere in Melbourne as genuinely homemade and soulful, though one Ethiopian reviewer had a below-par kitfo experience.

Generous, affordable combo platters that leave diners full and satisfied, though one reviewer flagged a steep markup on a bottle of wine.
