Ethiopian food
I finally got around to trying the new Ethiopian restaurant/bar today. The last time I had Ethiopian food was in Phoenix, and it was phenomenal. This was good but not great. I wonder if it’s because they’re spreading their efforts too thin. It’s trying to be an ethnic food joint and a sports bar at the same time; along with your typical injera and berbere dishes, they also serve mozzarella sticks and Philly cheese steak sandwiches.
It was pretty good. Denny and Kaspar and I split several dishes: a chicken and egg berbere dish (mother and child reunited, doncha know), a beef berbere dish, and a spinach dish. It also came with some kind of yam and cabbage concotion, lentils, and lots of injera, a spongey flatbread. The other person with us, our coworker Steve, got the aforementioned Philly cheese steak. He said it was good.
It’s a nice addition to the downtown landscape. If they really want to blossom in the exotic food realm, though, maybe they should have a more indicative name than “David’s Place.”
