| - Very tasty & a bargain for what you get!
My friend and I ordered the vegetarian sampler plate - which came with six different items plus a bit of salad - all served on a single large plate that was covered with injera - the spongy crepe-like bread that you use in lieu of utensils.
Language can present a bit of a challenge here. Although our servers spoke enough English to order and to get the basic ideas across, details were vague. We asked to server to tell us what each dish was before we dug in, and the answers were "This one is sweet ... This is cabbage. This is Spicy and red" etc No names, or even even what was in them (except for cabbage).
No matter; we figured out that basically there were several lentil/legume dishes with various spice treatments, a cabbage stew, and collard greens. Each was delicious.
Usually when eating Ethiopian food, I enjoy a glass of Tej, the sweet honey wine that is akin to European mead. Unfortunately, here they only serve it by the bottle, so I went without.
Also, the music (which was pretty awesome) was unfortunately very VERY loud - to the point where it was difficult to hold a conversation. One of my party couldn't take it, and wound up leaving early.
As others have mentioned, this block gets kinda sketchy at night. Lock your car, and keep your eyes open. Don't be afraid, just aware.
