"This self-described “Tex-Ethiopian smokehouse” is a berbere-spiced bridge between Dallas and Addis Ababa. Brisket and meaty rib tips are seared with awaze, a traditional Ethiopian condiment that adds an earthy, peppery kick to everything it coats. There’s also smoked doro wat (their take on the spicy chicken stew) and loaded injera nachos, which swap chips for crispy injera bread topped with your choice of meat, stewed chickpeas, barbecue sauce, and ayib, a fresh and crumbly cheese. There’s a full bar when you want to hydrate with Shiner instead of water." - Kevin Gray
