Good food, hygiene's had some notes. Probably fine.

The food's genuinely great and the hygiene issues are "Improvement Necessary" — not catastrophic. Worth a punt if you're not a germaphobe.

Great food, hygiene could use a little polish

Bar Bulsho Cafe is an Ethiopian adventure hiding in plain sight at the Britannia Street Community Centre. Eyerusalem swears by their coffee, especially when served with popcorn—because why not add a snack to your caffeine fix? Allan MacNulty celebrated a birthday here, and honestly, what better way to honor your father-in-law than with some Doro Wat that’ll knock his socks off? With dishes that are as colorful as the cafe’s decor, it’s a cultural trip for your taste buds.

But let’s not sugarcoat it: the hygiene is just average at 3/5. You might have to ignore the potential for some questionable corner dust if you want to dive into that delicious injera. Still, the vibes are right, the food is tasty, and you can do a little risk-taking without too much regret. Just don’t expect a five-star hotel experience; this is where you come to feast and experience life, not just dinner.
