"Ras Plant Based is a vegan Ethiopian restaurant, but it’s got the sort of crowd-pleasing menu that will satisfy even the friend who is single-handedly keeping the red meat industry afloat. It’s the second location of a beloved Crown Heights spot, but it’s only here that you can try their injera nachos, with fake meat and a plant-based nacho cheese sauce that somehow rivals the real thing. Come for a group meal, order a bunch of platters to share, and sip on some rum-based Wet Ass Passionfruit cocktails while you wrap spongy injera around scoops of velvety ground chickpeas, and tangy collard greens.
