Ethiopian restaurant · King

"One of Portland’s older Ethiopian destinations sits snugly on Alberta Street with a bright green exterior. While the color grabs attention, the 32-seat Bole, formerly known as Gojo, is a cozier space dotted with colorful woven baskets and framed posters of notable Ethiopians on the walls, plus curtains displaying traditional Ethiopian art. Start with the restaurant’s version of kitfo, which arrives alongside house-made ayib cheese. Both the key wot and alicha wot here make for worthy successors, earthy and just a touch sweet with a nice nuance of spice." - Maya MacEvoy, Eater Staff
