Well, really 2-1/2 stars. I'm an adventurer and I'll try any ethnic dish at least once. But this place just doesn't move me at all.
It feels like a diner in a basement - which it is. But an East African diner with very intriguing artwork on the walls which helped pass the time in those uncomfortable chairs. Mine wobbled a bit too.
If these stews are Ethiopian, so be it. Not at all like the
Ethiopian food I've had in D.C. I was sold on the "newness" of East African food! Of course Ethiopia is in east Africa too.....
So we had a small variety of stews that I assume came out of big pots. Some were tasty, others not. My friend enjoyed his, but he recommended this place. When I finished, the hot one had me burping for some time after....as did the relatively high price- to- value relationship I'd just experienced.
