The Danforth east of Greenwood holds Toronto's Little Ethiopia — the densest Ethiopian-Eritrean restaurant cluster anywhere in Canada. The 5 kitchens licensed in the past 12 months sit across that anchor plus a Bloor West node and downtown spillover: injera houses, tibs grills, kitfo and doro wat specialists. 1 in the past 30 days.
