LALIBELA ETHIOPIAN RESTAURANT – Ethiopian
A small family-run Ethiopian kitchen on Lane Avenue South, named for the rock-hewn churches of northern Ethiopia. Everything arrives on injera - soft, tangy, and doing the work of both plate and cutlery. Doro wat carries the deep spice of a long-simmered chicken stew, kitfo comes minced and buttered, tibs and gored gored bring the beef, and the vegetarian combination platter spreads lentils and greens across the bread in bright wedges. Sambusas to start. Diners consistently describe generous, unhurried plates meant to be shared. Eat with your hands, that's the point.
