"Berbere is the best (and only) Ethiopian option in Santa Monica, but also one of our favorite places to get a vegan lunch in the area. This bright counter-service spot is BYOB (if that speaks to you) and serves incredible plant-based dishes like tofu tibs, Shiro full of tender garbanzo beans, and, our favorite, the Eat The Rainbow platter. This combination comes with a few rolls of injera, plus creamy lentil stews and various sauteed vegetables that smell like a well-stocked spice cabinet." - sylvio martins, jess basser sanders
