Can someone tell me if this restaurant is open? I remember it closed down few years back

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 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.

The food is amazing. The wait (to be seated and subsequently served) not so much. Took almost 1hr for each. Even when, another time, arriving just after open the food took close to an hour so be prepared to wait. There's simply no way around it as they apparently cook nothing ahead of time. All the same, the food is fantastic.

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.
