Best NYC Restaurant Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week, December 15, 2025 | Eater NY

"The popular Queens Ethiopian Eritrean food truck finally opened its restaurant this month. The new space is warm and inviting, featuring Ethiopian, Eritrean, and Italian influences in its meticulously designed space as well as food. If you’re a fan of injera and its traditional pillowiness, not to worry — it’s served with many of the dishes. With the injera bruschetta ($12), however, an unexpected preparation gives it a new and satisfying crispiness, and makes it a phenomenal vehicle for the sweet, acidic, and salty tomato mixture. I can still hear the crunch." - Bettina Makalintal
