This restaurant used to be one of our favourite restaurants in Ottawa. Not sure if the ownership has changed or chefs, but the food is definitely not what it used to be. The service was super slow - we sat for at least 15 mins before being asked about drink orders, and then it took another 10 mins for water and pops to arrive.

Good food and cheap beer. Many choices of platters. I ordered a mixed meat platter, and loved all the sauces.

The Horn of Africa in Ottawa has received mixed reviews lately. While some diners have expressed disappointment in the quality of the food, slow service, and uncleanliness of the restaurant, others have enjoyed the diverse menu at affordable prices. The traditional Ethiopian way of eating with your hands may throw off some newcomers, but the flavors have been praised, particularly for those looking for a unique and adventurous dining experience. Overall, while the ambiance and service may be lacking, the delicious dishes and affordable prices make this restaurant worth a try for those seeking authentic Ethiopian cuisine.
