Great African Food!
Tuesday, August 01, 2006
This is the yummiest African food I've had (outside of the home-cooking my ethiopian neighbors do!).
It caters to meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans...the location is beautifully decorated, the staff are friendly. The food is to die for! I can't remember what that yam stuff is called, but DAMN is it good! It tastes like it isn't vegan, but it is!! And their collard greens? MMMMMMMM-mmm. It's better than candy, and I'm not joking. Given the choice between chocolate and those greens, I choose the greens (now you know I'm not joking). I usually get the veggie combo which is enough for two meals. The combo has greens, veggies and different lentil dishes served on Njera bread, which is traditional Ethiopian bread. They also have dishes that are from other parts of Africa, but unfortunately, they aren't vegetarian, so I haven't tried them. If you have never had african food, don't be intimidated to try it here... but be sure to bring a friend, because it really does take two to eat one order!
