History

The Spicy Ethiopian began with Gelila’s vision and passion for sharing Ethiopia’s rich flavours. Starting with a food truck that travelled across the Greater Toronto Area, Gelila quickly garnered a devoted following with her authentic, vibrant dishes.

Her dedication to Ethiopian cuisine and culture inspired her to open a brick-and-mortar restaurant. As both the owner and chef, Gelila continues to delight guests with traditional Ethiopian dishes made from the freshest ingredients. The restaurant embodies her love for her heritage and her commitment to delivering exceptional dining experiences.

Join us at The Spicy Ethiopian to taste the tradition and experience the warmth of Gelila’s culinary artistry.
