This graciously run restaurant offers a rare taste of the Horn of Africa, specifically the cuisine of Ethiopia and Eritrea. Set at the corner of a shopping center, it boasts a commanding presence with bold signage and a nicely arranged alfresco section. Inside the incense-scented space, there are tiled floors, windows draped with woven fabrics and turquoise seating for a pop of color.
Boldly flavored but subtly spiced stews arrive with spongy injera for sopping. The menu is meat-focused but there are plenty of plant-based items on offer. The combination platter is a great way to sample a bevy of bites, including the beef key wot seasoned with berbere, beef alecha wot rich with turmeric; gomen, or stewed collard greens; and house-made cottage cheese.
