"There are reasons to go into Manhattan for dinner, there are reasons to stay away from Manhattan for dinner. This is a restaurant you steer clear away from Manhattan for dinner.It is not the prices, those were okay. It is not the accessibility by subway, that is first rate. It is the service I received, for the food that I received. The food is decent, but it looks too white tablecloth here. Too neat, too pretty, and it looked scared to be eaten. It felt like I was eating eggshells. If the meal does not feel right, it will not taste right. After all, we eat with our eyes as much as we eat with our brains.As for the service, it leaves more to be desired. My server was pretty rude, especially when I asked for suggestions. I like to ask the servers what they think is good. Is it too much to give an honest opinion? You would have thought I asked her to marry me without even asking her on another date. I felt insulted.To add more insult to injury, I felt like an alien bug that had to be squashed immediately. When another customer came in that she knew, she was all jolly and friendly. To me, I was watched the entire time like I was under surveillance. Yes, I cheated a little to use a fork to eat some of this, but here? I do not care. The heck with it here.When she did come back to check on me, she asked me if I wanted more injera. I said sure, thinking it would be free. But no, this is Manhattan. I noticed when I received my bill they charged me extra for more. That is a crying shame. No where else since I started trying this cuisine has done this, and no one treated me like a second class citizen as I was treated here.Since the food is decent, that is the only reason I am saving this review from being a one star review. One thing is for sure, I am sticking with the Brooklyn location."
