Ethiopian food

Filed under: — Aprille @ 3:06 pm

I finally got around to trying the new Ethiopian restaurant/bar today.  The last time I had Ethiopian food was in Phoenix, and it was phenomenal.  This was good but not great.  I wonder if it’s because they’re spreading their efforts too thin.  It’s trying to be an ethnic food joint and a sports bar at the same time; along with your typical injera and berbere dishes, they also serve mozzarella sticks and Philly cheese steak sandwiches.

It was pretty good.  Denny and Kaspar and I split several dishes:  a chicken and egg berbere dish (mother and child reunited, doncha know), a beef berbere dish, and a spinach dish.  It also came with some kind of yam and cabbage concotion, lentils, and lots of injera, a spongey flatbread.  The other person with us, our coworker Steve, got the aforementioned Philly cheese steak.  He said it was good.

It’s a nice addition to the downtown landscape.  If they really want to blossom in the exotic food realm, though, maybe they should have a more indicative name than “David’s Place.”
