Phoenix’s Best Vegan and Vegetarian Restaurants | Eater Phoenix

"In a city full of top-notch Ethiopian joints, Kare Ethiopian manages to stand out. The year-old establishment, located on a busy stretch of McDowell Road, is the kind of blink-and-you-miss-it spot that for most people goes completely undetected. Once you step inside the former dive bar turned restaurant space, you are greeted by the distinctive smell of Ethiopian spices and a warm, earth-toned ambiance that perfectly complements Kare’s desert locale. The menu is notably vegan-friendly, offering vegan stews like the misir wot with a split lentil base topped with a berbere sauce, and the turmeric-loaded split pea kik alicha wot, or opt for the vegan combo meal to savor all of Kare’s vegan dishes." - McConnell Quinn
