Enat Ethiopian Restaurant

"In Amharic, the word “enat” translates to “mother,” and Enat leans into the concept of serving the kind of food your mom would make. If it’s your first time trying Ethiopian food, start with a vegetable combo or just order atkilt wot for a satisfying mix of cabbage, potatoes, and carrots in a garlicky turmeric rub. If you're still hungry, go with the doro wot, a spicy chicken stew that gets its deep flavor from slow-caramelized onions, a generous heap of berbere, and a lot of cooking time. Doro wot is best enjoyed with friends, so invite some people you like for a meal in the perpetually busy dining room and tell them to come hungry." - lidiya belete, aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley

"With swathes of spongy injera serving as base and scoop for saucy dishes like lentil-rich misir wot and ybeg tibs nech (marinated lamb, onions, garlic, tomato), Ethiopian cuisine like that of Enat Ethiopian Restaurant in the Northgate area is a go-to for group feasts. Expect a spacious dining room, affordable prices, and truly enormous portions — two orders can easily fill five adults. Enat is also known for its gluten-free and vegetarian options (you can even get a gluten-free vegetarian combo)." - Meg van Huygen, Mark Van Streefkerk, Jade Yamazaki Stewart, Adam H. Callaghan
