Jessica was going to take me to Nyala, but thought that was cheating since we've been there before (though not for a SFR) so we ended up at this tiny Ethiopian place across from Sony instead. We had noticed it a few weeks before, and decided it was worth a shot since it was Ethiopian, close, new, and had a name that rhymed with Jessica. Very unassuming when we walked in, with a friendly staff showing off their "best cheap eats" review in a magazine while promptly attending to our every need. I sort of felt like I was in that Seinfeld episode where he goes to the new Indian place that nobody else goes to and ends up making a suggestion that puts them out of business. "You very bad man!"
That feeling was unfounded, as a few other diners entered shortly after our arrival, and the food was excellent with no need for suggestions from the likes of us. We ordered the full shared dinner platter with a little bit of everything on it. The injera was the best I've ever had, with an almost sourdough taste to it.
I can't quite remember everything on the plate, but I'll try: Spicy doro wot chicken, suprisingly good collared greens (gomen), fresh made cottage cheese (not my thing, but Jessica liked it), yellow peas (yum), lentils, lamb, and various other vegetables. We licked the platter clean, including the leftover injera that gains flavor after soaking up the juices from everything else over the course of the meal.
Only downside was at the very end, when we hoped for the fancy Ethiopian coffee but instead got regular old percalated joe. But it wasn't bad, and how much can you really complain of a place that encourages you to eat with your hands? I'm sure this will hit the weekend lunch rotation in the near future.
Dinner:
-Dinner Platter with Everything On It (the best way to have Ethiopian food)
Drinks:
-Bottle of Red Wine
-Regular Coffee
