Nazareth

Amazing customer service, affordable prices and great drinks. Wonderful owner and bar tender, absolutely welcoming atmosphere.Definitely a hidden nook, worth checking out! Been around since 1994! Beautiful atmosphere

Nazareth has stooped low and I'll never go back there. She gave me other people's bill to pay for their drinks, she got angry at me for no reason inside the bar. I would never go back there

Awesome Ethiopian food. There's a reason why this place has a line up, their food is top notch! All dishes are reasonably priced and portion sizes are generous. The restaurant is a little small and I would suggest a group size of 4 people max. If you haven't tasted Ethiopian food before, treat yourself to this restaurant.

UPDATE! March 05 2025. Place has a sign that says TEMPORARILY CLOSED! See picture. *6 years ago...Absolutely delicious food, long wait but worth it. Small place very popular. Taste like real Ethiopian food. No cutlery allow, cash only.

Best spot in Toronto to eat, drink, listen and watch videos, dance and play hand drum! She undercharges her customers and loves each and every one. Tip her well and make up for her modesty! This is such a welcoming and unique environment. You won't regret a visit no matter who you are

Let's start with the food. This is the reason you're here. It's delicious, and there's a lot of it. There are vegetarian options, but you won't be disappointed with a meat dish. Everything is well spiced, well prepared, and it wouldn't be a stretch to say this is the best Ethiopian food in the city. The decor is nice, too. But it ends there. The staff are plain nasty. It feels as through they'd rather not have diners in their dining room. When you order, they drift away without acknowledging anything. It's not clear whether they have heard you. And sometimes it's important to get that clarification, because you might have to order the same thing more than once. The restaurant is so popular, there is always a line-up. And yet food takes forever to get to the table. Bet on at least two hours here or you'll be shoveling a few bites in your mouth before packing up and rushing out the door... something that won't necessarily happen because it takes just as long to pay. Honestly, as delicious as Nazareth's dishes are, the food wasn't worth it. Nearby Ethiopian places offer comparable meals and aren't nearly as packed.

The prices are low and the food is exceptional; no other Ethiopian restaurant in the area offers the same overall value. However, the restaurant is small and the owners work at their own pace, so expect a wait time to sit down and a wait time for food to be prepared. The food is worth the wait though

The only thing that saves Nazareth from 1 star is how delicious the food was. Service was completely atrocious. We waited over an hour to be served, and they gave us a meal we didn't order. We ate it anyway, because by that point we were hangry, but we literally ordered the two dishes on either side of it on the menu. There are only around 10 items on the menu, so this was a pretty terrible mistake. We had the most rickety table, too, and multiple times throughout the night it got bumped, sending our drinks all over the table. The staff were inattentive and not friendly. Now I understand why they always have a line-up out the door. It's not because it's so incredible, but because it takes forever for them to get food to each table. This place is one of the most over-rated restaurants I've ever been to. I really don't understand why everyone loves it so much when you can get equally delicious Ethiopian food with better service and more selection elsewhere in the city, with no lining up.
