The decor, with its hodgepodge of National Geographic–style photos and animal skin wall hangings, could use a major make-over. The menu offers some fantastic examples of Ethiopian cuisine. Chicken is mysteriously sparse on the menu, but beef dishes and a slew of vegetarian options should satisfy. In particular, quanta fer-fer, beef in berbere sauce, mandates a return visit for its succulent heat and acid kick. Ethiopian beers complete the experience, as does a traditional coffee ceremony.
