Horn of Africa - (503) 331-9844

We arrived at 6:00 and were the only ones there for a while. It still took forever to get our vegetarian food. I have been to many Ethiopian restaurants in the US and I always have been served the vegetarian mix platter very quickly. When it finally arrived, it was missing any and all taste. Regarding the service, I understand there was only one waitress, but I had to get my own napkins and it took 10 minutes for her to get me some more water after I asked. Then she ignored the other glasses on the table! When we tipped appropriately for the level of service we received, she turned super witchy.

First time to this wonderful place. Everyone at our table has been to Africa and this reminded us of the wonderful people and food we love there. We tried a little bit of everything and were not disappointed with anything. Our waitress was from Uganda, and so personable. We will definately be back to bring a new group of friends and share this little slice of Africa in Portland.

The waitress was the worst I have ever encountered. We have eaten her off and on for about 10 years. It has always been inconsistent. The Male owner has always been concerned about service and quality. The women feels the best way to deal with unhappy guests is give them a nasty look and rush them out the door. I ordered coffee 15 minutes later I was still waiting for sweetener finally asked another waitress she said sorry don't have. At that point the coffee was cold and went down in 2 gulps. Our appetizers finally arrived and they were very tasty. The waitress never inquired about the food just took everything away including the coffee cup. Finally got my soup it was good but not super hot. 45 minutes later we still did not have our entrees. Our waitress was missing. We asked another waitress to please check on our food. She brought it out straight away. My daughters order was wrong, mine was nothing like the menu description and my husbands was very good. They were suppose to come with rice or bread, however we were charged $3 for the rice that was cold and perhaps had a strand of saffron waved through it but was by no means saffron rice. Having lived in Africa for 2 years I know what this food is suppose to taste like. When we complained that the rice was cold the waitress put her finger in it. The female owner then came out gave us NASTY glaring looks and slung the rice at us then the bill. No apologizes no trying to correct the problem. They have lost our business for good.
