"We’re huge fans of Demera, an Ethiopian spot in Uptown. The long menu is full of delicious dishes, like the shirro (a wonderful chickpea stew) and the misserana bowmia with perfectly cooked lentils and okra in a spicy berbere sauce. The way to do it is to go with a few other people and order one of their Messob options, which is a communal dining situation that lets you try a bunch of different dishes. It's all served on a big round of fantastic injera, which is made fresh daily. Also, be sure to order the sampler. That way you get to choose five vegetarian side dishes for $15, which are so good even the non-vegetarians won't complain." - adrian kane, john ringor
