Amazing Ethiopian food, a personal favorite. All dishes that are meat-free are also vegan, so tons of options for meat-eaters and vegans alike (just be sure to ask that they put the meat on a separate plate if you're sharing with someone). Excellent prices and portions. I recommend either the veggie combo or the meat/veggie combo, so you can get a taste of everything.

A vegan's paradise.. literally everything on this menu is vegan! But it satisfies all but the most diehard carnivores. Great for all meals, but especially breakfast/brunch. Lunch? The Cubano sandwich is amazing.
