Injera is a yeast-risen flatbread with a unique, slightly spongy texture.We didn't like the taste or texture of the Injera and later i talked to vegan friend who goes there also wished they would offer other types of flatbread. Overall the food was good but most of it like baby food and because we couldn't eat the injera we had... More

I went to Wass with my girlfriend one evening in November 2012. We like to try new places once in a while and since this place was right across the street from us we figured we'd give it a shot. The outside of the building had bright multi-coloured lights that had caught our eye weeks earlier. When we entered the... More

Delicious. Honey wine, food to share -the red lentils are amazing. Nice dim dining space: cozy and perfect for friends, family or dates.

Always nice to try something new, especially a new cuisine. Rumour around is that this is as authentic as it gets with Ethiopian food. The restaurant is located very much downtown and decor is simple with an Ethiopian touch. Delightful smell as you walk in, the main dinning room is a little stuffy and in need of better ventilation as... More

I have never had Ethiopian food before, and went in with an open mind. We ordered a bunch of dishes for the table and all shared and the food was amazing!!! I am not entirely sure what vegetables we had on our plate, but we got the vegetarian platter and it was fantastic. You eat the food with a similar... More

We found this restaurant a couple of years ago and recommend it to anyone wanting a new eating experience. You eat with your hands (you may ask for utensils) using the pancake as a scooper. I suggest the honey wine as an accompaniment and also don't forget to order your coffee ceremony at the beginning as well. It takes the... More

I have travelled through Ethiopia some years back and absolutely loved the food and its corresponding traditions. This place is pretty authentic in taste and presentation. Very uniquely flavorful food and I love ordering a large platter to share with company - figures are the utensils of course. Price is not bad either, especially the platter. I can't remember exact...

My two girlfriends and I decided to try something new for a birthday celebration. Our waitress was extremely nice and helpful to us newby's. She explained all of the dishes and in the end we decided to split a combo platter that had a nice selection of both meat and vegetable items. Although they gave us forks, normally what you... More

Hamilton hosts many interesting places to eat, and WASS figures prominently on the list. As it was our first time trying Ethiopian, our excellent hostess suggested that we try the 'combo' that featured a little bit of everything - vegetarian + meat dishes. It was a great suggestion and she rightly forewarned us - a party of two (big eaters)... More
