  • We tend to go to either Meskerem or Red Sea about once a month, so when we heard that there was a new ethiopian place in town we were excited to go try it out. The restaurant is physically quite large and not particularly attractive, but I've always been more concerned with the food than the decor. Luckily, the food holds is quite good and the service is very good as well. The menu has 19 items including appetizers, with the bulk of them being beef and lamb dishes. There are still plenty of vegetarian dishes and one chicken option. The food is comparable to both Meskerem and Red Sea in terms of flavors, so if you are a fan of those places you won't be disappointed here, although I'm also not sure yet whether this is better either. Really all three serve very good food easily comparable to what I've had in NYC and DC. Where the menu stands out is that it includes several dishes that are most definitely geared towards Ethiopian and Eritrean customers. To wit, there are a couple of beef dishes with a 'tartare' option and I had something called Ye-Beg Dilot, which is a delicious mixture of onion, garlic, peppers, beef and lamb organ meats. It was all very well seasoned and cooked. I mention this because unadventurous eaters might be turned off by the idea of some of the dishes (but hey, at that point you should have just gone to the Applebee's or wherever it is people without a taste for good things go). The tej (honey wine) is really nicely balanced and isn't too sweet, and well worth trying. And actually, this is one item that is definitely better here than at the other two restaurants I mentioned above. One odd thing is that the food came out on a separate large plate for each customer. I have only ever had Ethiopian food served on a single communal plate, but they don't seem to be doing that here. A minor disappointment is that there is no meat combination plate, which sort of locks you into one dish. There is a veggie combo, however. In summary: new Ethiopian restaurant (potentially with some Eritrean dishes as well); very good food; unusual menu items; well worth a trying. I'm certainly planning on going back in the near future.
