Eating with your hands is an experience best shared with friends, along with honey wine. They will serve your meals family style (on a huge circular plate for all to share) or individually, but I recommend family style. The candlelit restaurant features a black light the minute you enter and individual little booths covered with beads. Great date place! Intimate and cozy. Order extra bread. Excellent pleasant service.

blue Nile is very popular with the college students, so i thought I'd give it a try. i was not all that impressed. the food is very stewy and i found it bland. trying to be more culturally correct, you eat with your hands at this restaurant. so you basically use the spongy bread they give you to pick up the stew. it gets really messy, and it was kinda neat for the first couple minutes but then i found it gross. (now, i usually eat with my hands at Indian places with naan, so I'm not against using my hands)

A fun location right in the middle of the action on Telegraph. My absolute favorite is the honey wine. Get a liter, and you'll probably be able to finish it yourself. It's that good. On with the food- I'd never had Ethiopian food before, so I didn't know what to expect. I ended up enjoying it. 3 of us ordered 3 dishes and ate it family style- sharing one platter containing everything. Some of it reminded me of Indian style curry, and the chicken was perfectly seasoned and falling off the bone. I loved the vegetarian dish with the grains and different flavors as well. It was also great that they give unlimited amounts of the delicous flat-bread, injera, but it was so much food that we couldn't finish it all. A word of warning, but upstairs is VERY stuffy!
