Ethiopian Food Makes it to Bham

What are some examples that I can google of good ethiopian food.

I was hoping someone would post some.

They have an Ethiopian place on Magazine Street in New Orleans. I've never tried it but some friends said it was not bad.

I'm in Montgomery on business. Any particular place I need to try? I usually eat at Central cause it's close to the hotel. Thinking about doing Korean. Heard they have good Korean here because of all those Hyundai employees they brought over here to run the plant.

Awesome! I will be in BHam 1 weekend this month. This is now at the top of my list

I just went to Wikipedia to look at ethiopian food and I must say that I am not really impressed. There must be better examples out there.

That looks like dogshit and is not what I've seen, outside of the greens on the right.

Ethiopian food has similar style dishes that Indian food has. Meats and veggies are cooked in thick sauces, and you use sourdough flatbread to pick up your food from the plate. It's made to be shared. Some dishes can be spicy (hot) but very tasty.

This is how you eat ethiopian food

You can't go wrong with the Doro Wott, which is served at most places.

I don't get to Montgomery much, but they had a Korean BBQ place there that was damn good. I wish I could remember the name, but it escapes me. There was a good collection of places to eat near the River Walk area. Mostly higher end chains, but a few local places mixed in.

wish ethopian came to br

Abyssnia and Nile are pretty solid in NOLA. The setup at Absynnisa(sp?) can be a little weird.

I've heard mixed reviews about the food hall. I hear it's overcrowded, overpriced, and not as good as the many restaurants surrounding it.

first time i've been, so i'm not sure, but the noodles were a bit overpriced ... admittedly, i have not eaten ramen noodles in a very long time, but i've eaten a couple of times at places that serve them ... these were $14 ... nice sized bowl that was smaller than most asian noodle bowls you get, which are too big in any event, though it's less food than normal ... saw a couple of other places where various plates/items seemed to be a few dollars more than normal ... gyro plate was $15, i think ... it's airy and open, so there's a lot of noise ... almost felt like a nightclub at times with the bar in the middle and the music overhead ...
