Owner Prince Lobo, his mother Dr. Biruk Alemayehu, and his father, Chef Jaime Lobo, offer an authentic taste of Ethiopia at this Esplanade Ridge restaurant. This corner spot is enhanced with natural African textiles and wicker light fixtures and wood tables with mustard-colored cushions. Walk straight to the handwashing station on the right side before tearing apart the injera, made fresh in house daily. From lentils to tibs, all of the classics are available. Sambusas, golden-crisp triangles stuffed with beef or collard greens, are sided by a sweet awaze sauce for a perfect opener, while a vegetable combination platter featuring lentils, greens and beets allows for sampling a variety of flavors.
