Visit this restaurant last Saturday and was fortunate to get a seat, so if you are hoping to eat after 2000 please book ahead!
Anyway, very nice place and plenty to choose from the menu, and very friendly service. The wife and I opted for the Doro wot (spicy chicken drumstick dish) and the . Doro Gomen tibs ( Cubed chicken with spinach and tomato). This all comes with salad, Ethiopian cheese and the Injera bread/dough. We also added in extra rice however this was a bridge to far, and perhaps a little greedy. The presentation was superb.
The friendly waitress gave us an overview on the traditional way to eat with your fingers whilst using the Injera to help.....a bit of a struggle at first but in the end we got there. The eating with your fingers should not put you off or see as a gimmick as the quality of the food and taste surpasses that.
Cost wise for two mains, extra rice, two alcoholic drinks and one coffee was baout 35 euros, and worth it.
When I am back in Brussels, I'll certainly be back!

Really delicious food. Although I had some problems in the beginning eating without cutlery and using the bread instead, but it was a fun experience. Everything tasted very good, the only downside being the service. They were not so happy to speak English and took their time to serve us, although there were few people eating at that time.
+ Great food
- Service could have been better

This is the sole and only place in Belgium to taste the true ethiopian cooking. You will eat with hand if you want it like in Ethiopia. The food is quite tasty and more than a restaurant it is a cosmopolitan intercultural spot in the earth of Brussels few step from Maneken Pis.
