"Tucked away on a short stretch connecting Congress Avenue and Free Street, unassuming Asmara serves communal platters of Eritrean specialties like alitcha — potatoes, cabbage, and carrots in a garlic and turmeric sauce — and fiery chicken stew for scooping with spongy, tangy injera flatbread. Luscious, slightly viscous honey wine made in-house pairs beautifully, shining through berbere pepper, cumin, and warming spices." - Stasia Brewczynski
