Tana Ethiopian Cuisine - Brandon, Manitoba

Whenever traveling to a new town/city I always make sure to check out local Ethiopian restaurants, and I'd say Tana now tops the list of the best injera I have ever tried. Worth the drive from Winnipeg if you are a lover of Ethiopian food! So glad I found this ... place and will be back. Read more

We stopped in here during our Cross-Canada road trip, and we agreed that this is the best restaurant we've found so far. I've never had Ethiopian food before, so I ordered the combo plate which was a massive serving of different dishes with breads. What a gem of a ... restaurant! Read more

The manager was very friendly and helpful. The sign out front advertised a daily buffet, but there wasn't a buffet. Apparently, it's coming soon. I ordered what I understood to be a combination plate. It turned out to be a huge 12-inch diameter Ethiopian injera bread, warm, soft and delicious just ... like it's supposed to be, plus a large bowl of what I will call stew/soup with beef, carrots, beans, onions and sweet green peppers and Ethiopian butter. I ordered the spicy option, which had a bit of a kick but not too spicy. The dish was very tasty, though I did find the beef, which was cut into little cubes, rather tough. He also gave me a couple of pieces of biscuits to soak up the liquid. The injera bread was warm and tasty. The atmosphere was very Ethiopian with pictures and decorations on the wall, giving it a quaint and very pleasant ambuence. I found the price of almost $20 to be a bit on the high side for a bowl of stew and the bread. But all together a very fine experience. I like trying food from different countries, and the manager and his mother created a fine Ethiopian atmosphere. I'll be back in the future for another try when they have a real buffet. Read more

I absolutely love the food here. Authentic, different, and yet comforting too. It's food you can feel good about eating because it's good for you, and the mother and son who run the place are some of the warmest and kindest people I have ever met. They always come over ... to check on you. You feel like you are family. Read more

This is a true gem of a place. The minute you walk in you feel transported to an amazing destination. The music and decorations in the venue provide the perfect atmosphere for the amazing food that is about to arrive. The prices were very reasonable. The owners were very friendly and helpful with ... explaining the menu as I am new to Ethiopian food. I ordered the beef cha cha and it was phenomenal.. it arrives on a cast iron skillet and is sizzling with the most satisfying of sounds. The coffee is a must try as well if you stop in here Read more
