Amy's Ethiopian Restaurant & Espresso Bar

I've eaten here a few times, it's a lovely family run business. The decor may need a refresh but the restaurant is always clean and tidy. I normally order the Awaze Tibs and a coffee. As well as the food that they serve, they also sell some produce, like Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Coffee Beans (which is my favorite).

First time eating Ethiopian cuisine and I was very pleasantly surprised. Lightly spicy that builds on the palate and at the back of your mouth. Appetizer was a Sambusa - a fried meat filled pastry with a tomato chili dipping sauce. Light pastry, savory beef, yum. I had the Alicha Wot (lamb stew) and the flatmate had the Key Wot (beef stew). My side was lentils and his was potato stew. They come on Injera bread which is an interesting, spongy crepe like pancake that is both wrap and utensil. Here’s the breakdown: Lovely, enticing aromas +1 star; great music (I love reggae) +1 star; delicious appetizer +1 star; fast and friendly service +1 star; awesome main course +1 star. I will, 100%, go back

The buffet is amazing. And the food to order is so good that I can't keep my eyes open as I'm eating it. I like it spicy and they can definitely do that for you. They are very respectful of your privacy. And very family-friendly accordingly. I prefer the green tea smoothie. But you'll never taste anothers smoothie than what they serve. So many options. And the ambiance is very comforting.

Great family owned restaurant with great food. Since I am Vegan I love that they have a Vegan/Vegetarian friendly menu. They even offer a Vegan buffet every Friday evening. I’ve tried a few other Ethiopian restaurants but none seem to measure up to Amy’s taste wise. I usually try to visit them at least once a week.
