I just went out to dinner in Little Ethiopia with my two brothers that live in LA (the other one is still in high school so lives back in Sacramento). It was an awesome experience. First, I would like to point out – where else in the world (other than Ethiopia) can you get Ethiopian food? That’s why LA is so great, because it is such a melting pot and you can try so many new things and meet people from different cultures and backgrounds.

And the food was amazing! We had no idea what we were doing or what to order, so the waitress said she would surprise us. So first she brought out Ethiopian wine which was very sweet, kind of like honey wine. And then the main dish came out which was a huge platter of chicken, steak, vegetables, and various sauces- some spicy and some like hummus-y. The coolest part was that you don’t use utensils. Instead, they give you these thin rice crepe like things, that you use to pick up the food. If you’re really good at it, the food is never supposed to touch your fingers, only the rice “towels.”  The food was amazing and within minutes my brothers and I had devoured the entire platter of food. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and I totally want to go back and try more Ethiopian dishes.
