In Short
This corner restaurant is a love letter to all things Ethiopian, from an elaborate stained glass ceiling fixture to the artwork adorning the walls. A modestly sized bamboo bar is set alongside small, intimate tables and ample window views framed with delicate curtains. Extensive lists of vegetarian, lamb and beef meals top the menu, but the messob dishes allow diners to create individual sample platters of their choosing.
