"Every entree at this Ethiopian spot on Avenue B near Tompkins Square Park comes with two vegetable sides. While we recognize that you’re an adult and can do what you want, we can’t stress enough that one of those sides should be the creamy, garlicky shiro wot. We like to plop a thick layer of shiro wot on each torn piece of injera before topping it with other delicious things like tart red beets or tender dark meat chicken that’s been slow-cooked in onions, berbere, and spiced clarified butter. With a few family members present, stick to the combination platters. Otherwise, the best non-sharing route at Haile is to order spicy beef tibs with shiro wot and green beans on the side." - hannah albertine, kenny yang
