What People Are Saying About Horn of Africa

In Short – Sparse decor keeps the focus on the food, while the traditional basket tables prepare diners for something different. Exotic dishes like kitfo (ground beef) and doro wat (chicken and onions) are spicy, but newcomers can never go wrong with a sampler platter that includes plenty of Ethiopian flatbread known as injera. The injera doubles as utensils and allows patrons to enjoy the guilty pleasure of eating with their fingers without violating any laws of etiquette.

Don't Bother
by sj52555 at Citysearch
After reading the other reviews, I was really excited about this restaurant. We are not from Nashville so we did not know where the place was located before we set out. As we pulled into the parking lot and got a look at the outside red flags were popping up in my mind but I thought, looks can be deceiving so we should give it a chance. Mistake. Inside looked worse than the outside, the service was terrible and the portions were small. I have had Ethiopian food before and this was so so. Will not ever go here again.
- Pros: Nothing
- Cons: Everything
