"Okay, so this is a 1 star review because of the piece of meat I found in our food off the clearly labeled vegan menu. If this hadn't happened, and I'm assuming it doesn't happen often would have been a 3 star experience. Details... My friend and I ordered the veggie combo and the mushroom tibs off the Savory Vegan Dishes section of the menu, confirmed everything was vegan. In the middle of the meal, I felt something weird in my mouth, spit it out and confirmed my suspicion that it was a big cube of meat. Sigh.... I told the waitress. She was very sweet and apologetic, seemed genuinely concerned and took the story back to the manager, or at least that's what she said she'd do. She also comped the mushroom dish (which is where the meat snuck in, I think) and gave us a free dessert, which I thought was a fair enough resolution for my sake. Of course there's really no apologizing for something like this, it just shouldn't happen. I will not be returning, and I hope Cafe Colucci will either step up their cross-contamination-avoidance game in a big way, or stop advertising to vegans so heavily!!!! If there hadn't been meat in our food it was okay, but not anywhere close to the best veg Ethiopian I've had. The veggie combo was $16 and only meant to serve one, which is on the super-pricey side in my experience with Ethiopian, I really prefer big veggie combos meant for 2. The sharing is the fun part! So... eat at your own risk. Or go to a veg place like Cafe Daria or Kaffa."
