First time trying Ethiopian. I likes the experience of using the Injera instead of utensils to pick up food, but the spongy texture of weird and after a while I just couldn't handle the sour taste anymore.
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
This is my second time eating Ethiopian food. The first was right outside the country of Ethiopia so I feel as though I know good and authentic Ethiopian food.
Is the food authentic? Yes, very authentic. If you haven't tried this type of food before then be ready for a great mixture of spices/seasonings. Also don't expect silverware. They give you a spongy bread that you tear off and grab and dab the food.
Is the food good? Yes, very good. I tried the main lamb entree and the all vegetarian platter. Both were very pleasant.
This place also offers a vegan buffet Friday evenings.
I have been coming to Mrs. Amy’s for years now and it’s always good. The service is wonderful, the staff are great, and the food is DELICIOUS!
The food is always fresh. The restaurant is clean and well kept.
Absolutely love it.
I've been wanting to check this spot out for a while now and recently had the opportunity.
Started with the lentil sambusa, then had the chicken tibs awaze. OMG! So good.
So glad to have this gem in the area.
I was initially hesitant as I never tried Ethiopian food. But wonderful service and the people were very friendly!! They took time to help me to make choices. Food was really awesome, the bread was unique. It was a good experience!!
This is the first Ethiopian food I've tried and first time trying African in many years, I didn't know what to expect but the food had just the perfect amount of spice and was amazing
I was very impressed with the buffet. The lamb stew was amazing. Definitely worth trying.
Amy is wonderful, and her food is amazing! Go on Friday night for the vegan buffet! WOW!
Amy offers Ethiopian food at its best in Middle Tennessee!!
