"Alem brings together the flavors of the Horn of Africa in brightly decorated family-owned establishment in South Seattle. The veggie combo is a delight for plant-based diners who can sample shiro, legumes, and other vegan dishes served atop spongy injera. Meat eaters can indulge in the Alem special, including doro wat (spicy chicken stew) and ayib (an Ethiopian cottage cheese)." - Alicia Erickson
