"We could write sonnets about Kezira Cafe’s atkilt (slow-cooked potatoes with carrots and cabbage). But we could also write stanzas about the yellow split-peas. And the garlicky green beans. OK, every vegetable in this fantastic Ethiopian restaurant is getting a love note. Kezira is a great place to scoop lentils up with injera, and while there’s a ton of meat options, this is the best place in the neighborhood for vegetarians. Especially considering they have a $12 meatless lunch special with an assortment of lentils, potatoes, and greens." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley

"Maybe you did a trail run in the rain, or encountered that PNW summer morning chill that prevents you from caving on central air every year despite climate change. Not all Washington hikes are scorchers, so you may want some warm and comforting lentils and stewed vegetables for your recovery lunch. That’s where Kezira Cafe comes in. Grab some kik wot, missir wot, gomen, and alicha, all with tangy injera to sop it up." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente, kayla sager riley
