"Here's where you’ll find the best (and only) Ethiopian restaurant in the city. The owners make you feel so at home, you’ll be tempted to stay the night on the couch by the entrance. Please don’t. The husband scuttles about the dining room dropping off platters flanked with rolls of spongy injera next to kitfo and shiro piled high. His wife might stop by the table to ask how spicy you really want your gomen before she starts cooking it. She’s not wrong to inquire. Those collard greens aren’t for the meek, so wash it down with honey wine. There’s no parking out front, but there’s a lot around the corner on 7th and Sapodilla." - virginia otazo, katie walsh, ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino

Food Rundown Sambusa Whether you’re new to Ethiopian food or fluent in Amharic, start your meal here. These crispy brown pillows are filled with your choice of lentils or beef and come hotter than a Totino's Pizza Roll fresh from the microwave. photo credit: CLEVELAND JENNINGS / @EATTHECANVASLLC Kitfo The minced meat is seasoned with aromatic spices like cardamom and a spicy chili powder called mitmita for a healthy kick. It’s mixed with clarified butter and served with injera, a spongy sour flatbread. Order it with a side of shiro wat and gomen. photo credit: CLEVELAND JENNINGS / @EATTHECANVASLLC Shiro Wat Grab a generous chunk of injera to scoop and soak up this chickpea stew and all its sweet and nutty glory.

"Open since 2006; this West Palm Beach family-owned restaurant serves an ample selection of flavorful Ethiopian fare. Start with Qategna, roasted sesame and flax seeds mixed with berbere (seasoned chili powder) and kebe (herbal clarified butter) spread on toasted injera, the traditional Ethiopian spongey bread. For the main course, Doro Wot, the national dish of Ethiopia, is a crowd-pleaser that features a slow-cooked chicken stewed in berbere sauce and assorted spices and served with a hard-boiled egg. Vegetarians will love this place for its many tasty options." - Alona Martinez
