"Step into this Uptown restaurant and travel the globe, thanks to a menu and aesthetic inspired by owner Tigist Reda’s native country of Ethiopia. Opt for one of the combination platters, a customary order in Ethiopian culture and one that evokes a traditional practice (to share with others off of the same plate). The Demera Messob features three different vegetables and three meats of different preparations, while the Beyanetu serves as a tasting platter of the team’s entire vegetable medley—popular with meat and veg lovers alike. There’s a variety of wine and cocktails available, but regulars always relish the chance to order the team’s signature: Tej, traditional Ethiopian honey wine made in-house from a centuries-old family recipe." - Nicole Schnitzler, Brad Japhe
