  • I giant pink puffy heart Abay, and I don't get there nearly often enough. I developed a small addiction to Ethiopian food when I lived in Columbus, and was pleased as punch to find a great place here. The atmosphere is relaxed and casual, with nice low lighting and prompt, friendly service. It's fairly quiet, so you can sit and have a nice chat while you eat. One thing I really love about Abay is that they offer combination plates for any number of people, including one -- so you can go alone or with someone who doesn't like to share and still try a variety of dishes. The injera here is great. I could eat pounds of injera, I'm pretty sure. I remember when I was little, watching the Frugal Gourmet (I know) on QED and seeing him make this strange, bubbly bread from teff flour. It's tart, chewy, and sturdy enough to use to pick up the saucy food. Everything I've ever tried here is delicious. If you're totally unfamiliar with Ethiopian food, it bears the vaguest of similarities to Indian... but not really. Lots of stewed meats and well-seasoned veggies, perfect when you get a number of things and let the contrasts play together as you eat one thing, then another, then another. My favorites are really anything involving berbere, a spicy spice mixture that's led me to use a lot more fenugreek when cooking at home. Doro wat, chicken legs in berbere, lemon and other seasonings, is the one thing I always order. Minchet abish, which is beef simmered in awaze (berbere and honey wine, with other spices) provides a great textural contrast for a second meat dish. And then there are the vegetables. There are so many. Butecha is amazing; it sounds kind of hummus-y but it's kind of not, and it's served cold -- a great foil to spicy and hot (temperature-wise) items. Tikil gomen, cabbage and tomatoes, is buttery and mild. I could go on, but here's the thing: Thai food is often played up as perfecting contrasts in flavor and texture, and it deserves that accord. But so does Ethiopian food. And Abay does it well. Go; order at least four different things (see above re: combinations!) and you'll understand.
