The Best New Restaurants in NYC

"Launched as a delivery‑friendly offshoot of the longtime Zoma, this converted waiting area added a few tables by popular demand and does right by its beef dishes: Zoma tibs (cubed sirloin stir‑fried with honey wine until saucy) and kitfo (tartare freshly chopped to order and seasoned with cardamom, very hot red‑chile powder, and warm butter). The vegetable plates are all vegan—gomen collard greens cooked pleasantly al dente and a well‑spiced misir wot—and it comes with plenty of gluten‑free injera that’s brown, bubbly, and even better than before; try the kategna, infused with butter and berbere and fried until crisp while the spices turn dark and aromatic." - Grub Street
