It's an authentic Eritrean restaurant (pretty sure it's not Ethiopian, you have to be very very careful).
The food is often spicy and interesting. The way it's served is on top of enjeera (spelling from memory): which is a the local bread and resembles a batter, more than western bread. The enjeera is the diameter of a large pizza and they pour the main dish on top. The traditional way to eat is with hands by tearing off enjeera and scooping up the meat/fish.
Oh and as this is the right part of Africa the traditional finish is the coffee ceremony where they roast beans at the table before serving really strong coffee.... mmmm.
Definitely requires booking at weekends.
