The 12 Best New Restaurants In Nashville 2024
"We’ve never set out to eat our weight in lentils, but after trying the hearty tomato and berbere-laden stew in the center of the vegetarian plate at Abem, that quest looks pretty appealing. This is the newest Ethiopian restaurant in town, and it’s one of the best options for a soothing late breakfast/early lunch that you’ll want to repeat over and over again. Drink some spiced tea, a liquid form of the greatest hug you’ve ever received, and order the lentil sambusa, a perfectly flaky pocket containing delicious black lentils. The small, one-room cafe is bright and perfect for digging into sauteed beef jerky in the quanta fir-fir, and tearing into the homemade injera with gusto." - ann walczak, carlo mantuano, jackie gutierrez jones 2
