  • When I flew into Phoenix Sky Harbor recently for a three-day business trip, I decided to rent a car to avoid a constant diet of hotel buffet fare and venture out to find culinary adventures on my own that might help address my healthier way of eating. In that spirit, I drove to this compact Ethiopian spot on East McDowell Road, which not being too familiar with Phoenix, definitely felt like a sea of nightclubs, taquerias, and beauty parlors. After finding a parking space off an alleyway in the back (not my smartest move), I saw the brightly colored space with Ethiopia's national colors (photo: http://bit.ly/2I35PYC). I entered past the foreboding wrought-iron door (photo: http://bit.ly/2oL0htS) and found it was a tiny green spot with Nelson Mandela watching me, a bit cramped with four little tables inside and two outside in their mini-terrace on the sidewalk (photo: http://bit.ly/2FZXd4E). Their placemat menu centered around the combo sampler plates, so I selected the $11.99 Veggie Combo which consisted of four sides of my own choosing, a jalapeño pepper pickled and stuffed with chopped red onions and tomato, and of course, the spongey injera not only at the bottom of the plate but also rolled up in a separate basket (photo http://bit.ly/2FWzItc) I tried to resist nibbling on it mindlessly. The challenge was that it was baked with authentic authority and tasted ideal with the food being served. For my sides, I selected the Gomen (Braised Collard Greens), the Tikl Gomen (Cabbage & Carrots), the Misr Wat (Red Lentil Stew), and Shiro Wat (Peas Sauce) (photo http://bit.ly/2FvnJEW) I'm not sure how low-calorie any of it was, but it was all packed with savory flavor and a surprising freshness given how long they were warming in the pots in back. The friendly owner told me that he and his wife moved from Ethiopia pretty recently and dreamed of opening this business for a long time. I could tell by the quality of the food and positive attitude. Now back to that alleyway. FOOD - 5 stars...authentic Ethiopian flavors well executed with fresh, organic ingredients AMBIANCE - 3 stars...don't come with a crowd unless you plan to eat in your car in that alleyway SERVICE - 4.5 stars...very friendly and solicitous TOTAL - 5 stars...great flavors in an unlikely part of town
