11 Best Restaurants in Los Angeles’s Little Ethiopia | Eater LA

"This Santa Monica gem serves Ethiopian staples that happen to be vegan. First-timers might want to experience the breadth of chef-owner Tezeta “Tete” Alemayehu‘s cooking with the “Wish Meal,” a composite plate melding shiro, azifa, and tofu tibs served with the usual rolls of injera for scooping. Teff tortilla tacos come packed with berbere-spiced mushroom lentils and roasted potato; a plant-based burger gets smeared with awaze, a spicy, earthy Ethiopian condiment. Wash it all down with shai, hot tea with ginger, cloves, mint, and cinnamon." - Oren Peleg
