17 Great Black-Owned Restaurants & Bars In New Orleans 2024 - New Orleans - The Infatuation

"Ethiopian spot Addis recently got a new home on the historically Black New Orleans street Bayou Road. Here, they truly get to take up space, with a handwashing station in front and lots of Ethiopian dining tables known as mesobs throughout the room. Start with the Addis special, which is kind of like steak tartare, and lentil sambusas, followed up with a big plate of lamb tibs, mar mitmita shrimp, and a side of wot. The coffee ceremony is worth doing after your meal, but there are also plenty of other great beverages to try, like spiced tea and cocktails that use ingredients like housemade Ethiopian honey wine called tej." - megan braden perry
