Ethiopian House

Walk-ins are welcome, but booking ahead is a smart move on weekend evenings when the dining room fills up. The restaurant does take reservations for groups.

The combination platters are the best introduction, with meat and vegetarian stews, lentils, and collard greens served together on a shared platter. Everything is eaten by hand with spongy injera bread, and the vegetarian platter is a full meal on its own.

The restaurant prepares a traditional coffee ceremony tableside with fresh-roasted beans and burning frankincense. Allow about 30 minutes for the full ceremony, so plan it into the end of your meal.

Takeout is available, which works well for the stews and platters since the food travels in containers. Delivery is not offered, so pickup is the only option for eating at home.
